On JL's webpage its telling anything over 600W RMS can blow it.
I bet you know more them me on audio things but I'm a bit hesitant.

The reason I suggested an amp the pushes 1000w is that it gives you headroom. As the previous poster stated, you can turn the gain down on the amp so that you don't over power the sub. In addition, that additional headroom equals less strain on the electrical system (because your not maxing out the power of the amp), decreases the heat generated by the amp and gives you the option to expand your system should you feel the need to in the future.

Headroom in an amp is like horsepower in a car, you can never have enough
