Lobarski...500 watts per channel is the maximum rating. You will never run those amps to their max...what you are looking for is headroom, power on tap to meet the demand of your current speakers.
My speakers are rated at 300 watts for the mid-tweeter and 500 watts for the bass. I have them powered by 1200 watt monoblocks. Those speakers will never see all 1200 watts...I'll never turn it up that high...but I will NEVER be short on power or run out of steam.
Your car will go over 100 mph, but you rarely go above 70 mph, and most of the time you don't exceed 40 mph...but you have the extra power on tap if you need it.
You can never have too much power.
