Will my v-maxes be ok

[cleansoundzz 10+ year member]

I have finally any many years decided on staying with Cerwin Vega V-Maxes (10 inch) for my setup in both my truck and 300zx. They are rated at 500 watts RMS apiece. I run a RF T1000-1BDCP in my truck which is rated at 1000 watts at 1 and 2 ohms however on the birthsheet it is rated at 1421 watts @ 1 ohm and 1364 watts @ 2 ohms. I run my woofers @ 2 ohms My voltage stays around 14.1 volts, so I figure the amp is putting out about 1200 actual watts with about 600 watts going to each woofer. Do you think my 2 V-Maxes will be OK? The gains are set accordingly however those things are pumping hard. They are in a custom made box at 1.25 cubes each tuned to 35hz:veryhapp:

Over time will be V-Maxes crap out or will I be OK?

Clean power = Long Life

Clipped = Shorter Life

That goes for any brand sub.

I'm agreeing with this statement. Make sure the input level/gain/volume on the amp is set to the level of the rca outputs on headunit.
