Hey guys i have one 10 in my car right now but thinking of adding another. Will my 500/1 be enough power to push both of them pretty hard? thanks.

i would never run less than rms
i always run more than rms
w6 are good with 500 clean watts each ported and 750 watts clean sealed
so 2 x w6 ported 1000 watts , 2 x w6 sealed 1500 watts
w3 , if you want them, same principal rule as w6
w3 at full rms ported and rms and 1/2 sealed clean power

and what do you mean ported/sealed?
sealed means the enclocure is air tight
ported means the enclosure has a port to vent air, either aero ports , precision ports , of slot ports
#'s for W3 are you asking RMS power handling or price

Good for powering 2 10w3's within the recommended powerband (300 watts rms each); a hair under combined rms, but close enough not to make much of a difference.

A little weak for powering 2 10w6's within the powerband (400 watts rms each), but will get the job done. You won't get the most from the woofers.

well i have a jl audio 12w3v2 for bass but i'd like it to be more defined and also a bit louder. for my fronts i'll be picking up elemental design components but i don't currently have an amp in mind. i guess i don't have to run the subs at optimum power, i dont need glass shattering bass.
