What is too much power for a RL-i8?

[Salami 0]

Finally found a RL-i8 for sale but it is a D4. I have been gifted a Audison VRX 1.500 from my cousin. The amp puts out 500 watts into 4 ohms and 1000 watts into 2 ohms. The sub will be used in a sealed enlosure built with SQ as the most important quality. SPL is NOT a concern of mine.

Ideally a single 4 ohm driver with 500 watts would be ideal but I haven't been able to find one.

So is 1000 watts too much for a RL-i8 D4?

you will be more then happy with how it sounds on 1000 watts.

You can rip it apart with a 1kw but if you are smart and do the right thing the amp will work nicely with it.

Just turn the gain down, you don't have to give the sub the full 1000w.
