How much can an RL-i 8" take daily?

[reed dollaz 10+ year member]

I know ive been asking about subs alot lately but i really have no idea what I want to do. Once my cadence amp gets here i have a ported 12" L7 i can use until i find the substage I want. Most likely end up with the two eclipses. Was going to get two AQ 8's but i dont have paypal, so the RL-i 8" is my next choice. Will be buying one for now, and the other when I have more cash. Whats the most it can take DAILY. And ill most likely run it ported. thx

i had two tc 1k 8's on a sundown sae 1000d and they took that no problem. they could take 600+ IF youre careful with the volume/gains. didnt someone put 1kw to one?

I have run more to mine, but I don't suggest it. 500 is plenty!
