What amplifier?

[Stephen English]

Im finally a part of the sub-woofer club, i have 2 DPI 3 way speaker box's that includes a 12" sub-woofer each. I know its not a brand but they were free so who cares. Supposedly they can handle 500 watts each for a total of 1000 watts rms max. They are 8 ohm speakers, so i was thinking of buying a 2000 watt rms amplifier, since they are 8 ohm speakers that would equal 1000 watt rms, then since i have two boxes that would be 500 watts rms to each speaker. Is matching the rms a bad thing? I have read many many forums saying both overpowering and overpowering is bad can someone point me in the right direction? ~appreciate it
