Speakers don't "need" a given amount of power, listeners do. If 500 watts will play the subwoofer at a volume that's louder than you are willing to listen to it at, then you don't need 1000 watts. On the other hand, if the single subwoofer and 1000 watts doesn't play loud enough, you need multiple subwoofers and possibly more power.
