As long as it is clean power you shouldn't hurt the sub at all, its distortion/clipping that kills vc's

Close....clipping allows the amp to produce 2x it rated power, if the sub is a 500w sub, and you send it 250w from an amp that is fully clipped, it will be fine.

A speaker will play any signal you provide without hesitation regardless of whether it is distortion, a sine wave, a square wave, etc. As long as you sub can handle the power, there will not be an issue.

I'm running 1100 watts RMS.
Max wattage means nothing in the real world.
