You can have any sub you want, say its rated 2000 WRMS. You can feed that puppy 100 WRMS all day LONG without problems- providing you set the amp up correctly.
The underpowering myth revolves around operator error. Underpowering a sub isnt bad, its actually better. To be honest, most subs only need about 80% of reccomended RMS to reach full output. ANyhow, the myth... THe problem is when people dont think its loud enough, so they crank the gain, the bass boost and the bass on the head unit. Basicly max out everything they can.
That will surely create a clipped signal. Your amp gets that signal and does its thing. When the sine breaks off the chart the amp sends straight DC to your speakers.
When this happens, the cone extendes to its limit- and it holds there. It also puts a LOT of heat into the coil...
