Too much amplifier for an rl-i10?

[Neothin 10+ year member]

I'm going to be running a JBL px600.2 to my rainbow slc comps. I'd like to have the same company for all my amplifiers so I want a JBL amp for the RL-i10. I looked at BPX500.1 which will put out 237watts rms x2 @ 4 ohms. If i hook 1 channel to each voice coil on the sub, will that be too much power for it to handle daily?

Just on a side note, the enclosure i want to run is a custom fiberglass stealth box with .6 cubic feet of volume minus whatever the displacement of the sub is. Will this work alright?

This is a complete SQ setup. any suggestions?

id give em a little more room, im pushing my rl-i 10's with 500 watts each in .9 cuf space each. They pound and ive had no probs.

see, i'm really trying to stick to the box that I have. It's a nice stealth box that tucks into the side panel of the hatch. I need the space in the back for crap that I haul around, so a regular box isn't going to cut it. Is running the sub in a .6ft^3 box going to hurt it or will I just loose a little extension or something?

Bridge the amp at run it at 2 ohms mono. The same/more power and you will have a mono signal going to the sub.
