Those can handle 600 watts RMS as stated on the manufacturers website. It all depends on which amp you choose to power the subwoofer with. Some amps as you know dont actually put out what they say if its a cheap brand.

I herd that those are pretty good subwoofers and I dont see how they sell the 18" mj for that cheap along with all of their subs.. I dont think I would overpower that paticular brand of sub in my opinion. Try to stay close to the Rated RMS (continuous) watts. They are good subs for what you pay for them but they are no FI or RE subwoofer that could take the overpowering from an amp.

just my 2 cents..

As long as you are smart with your gains and not over extending the driver or have a box that is too big, I feel you should be fine. But a good number of people are running at least RMS if not a little more to their MAW-15s and MJ's.
