Default Interesting: Underpowering Subwoofers

Too Little Power Blowing Speakers

I came across that today, interesting little read. I'm wondering about the validity of that guide he made.

Right now I have two D6 subwoofers running at 600watt each and an amp that's driving the two of them. The amp generally runs at ~1000 watts rms. It tops out at about 1200 or so only when the car's voltage is at 14v. Of course, my car is not always at that voltage, so the amp is never "theoretically" putting out that power.
But my question is, If when i decided to try and max the crap out of the whole system, just turned the system up to a point where audibly i thought it was damaging the speakers themselves... are they?
