Sub handles 500rms at 2ohm.

Subs don't handle power AT a given resistance. Subs handle power, period, regardless of the impedance of voice coils. Its like saying "My car puts down 400 whp at 2nd gear." The gear is irrelevant to the power, it just determines the resistance in which the power is delivered. See what im saying?
