Overpowering Subs?

Hey, I have dual 10's that are 600w rms total and 2 ohms, I'm planning on buying an amp that runs at 1000w rms at 2 ohms, would I be overpowering my subs if i set the gains correctly?

if you set it for 600 watts then probably not. if you set it for 1000 watts then I'm gonna say yes.

Oh you're definitely going to blow that up on the first T-Pain song you play ... shaaawdaaaay

Side Note: Those subs will take it, I'm throwing 850rms on 2 10's and 2 12's (I have both setups) right now ... no big deal.

You should be fine. It's always better to have a little more than not enough. Just set your gains properly.
