In my understanding, max or maximum power = peak power.
If 2000 watts is the max or peak power, then the program power is 1000 watts; the power handling capacity is 500 watts only. If we follow closely the specification declared by this speaker
you're understanding is correct.

gone are the days when speaker manufacturers focus on large, heavy ferrite magnet designs and oversize voice coils. in fact, some are shifting to the lighter neodymium magnets with high output 4" voice coil designs.
the size of the voice coil is not so relevant once it passes 4.5". what most branded speakers are emphasizing are the quality of the material and the voice coil winding type. you can check the makes of rcf, fane, jbl and even p.audio. they concentrate more on the technology, efficiency and speaker engineering.
