Is this following statement correct?
An amp giving 500wrms to a sub with a sensitivity rating of 90db will have the same loudness as an amp giving 1000wrms to a sub with a sensitivity rating of 87db.

IF the nominal efficiencies are accurate
and IF you are talking about feeding it 1 Watt
then yes.
Note that most music where you can hear yourself think is just a few watts.
