Old pioneer subs are very rigid. I ran single 10 inch pioneer sub with 700-800 watts where it was rated to run on 350 watts.
Cheap Pyle subs are rated good for IB applications as well.

Well actually I modeled a bunch of subs yesterday, including your W7, and surprisingly, none of them ever got close to xmax with a 30Hz subsonic filter engaged, even when fed the full Pe (thermal) wattage. But while the subsonic can protect against mechanical damage, it cannot protect against thermal damage. The only way to do that effectively I think is to run a sub and woofer combination where it is physically impossible to feed the sub more watts than what it can handle. In my case I need to look for a Pe rating of 500W or more.
