I usually try to power my subs with their rated RMS value. Why not? if they are rated for that, then they can take that and more daily. For the sub I have, its rated at 1000wats RMS but I'm sending it 1400watts and can easily handle more. Of course, this is from a reputable company that doesn't over rate it's products as you might find from "mainstream" companies.

You could probably push them with 125-150 watts per channel and be fine, just turn down the gains a little bit if you feel like they are getting too much.
