Will the M7100X damage the RP-500M II?

No. The M7100X is rated for the RP-500M II's 8 Ω load as it comes.

What impedance setting should I use for the RP-500M II on the M7100X?

None: the RP-500M II is 8 Ω, and the M7100X needs no change for it.

Is the M7100X powerful enough for the RP-500M II?

More than you need. From a seat 2 m away, loud 95 dB movie peaks take about 8 W per speaker, and the M7100X is rated 90 W per channel. Cinema reference level, 105 dB peaks, takes about 80 W.

90 W

More than you need. About 8 W gives 95 dB peaks at 2 m

How to connect them

Connect the M7100X's inputs to the pre-outs of your receiver or processor: a power amplifier has no volume control of its own.
Connect each RP-500M II to one of the M7100X's channels with speaker wire.

Plan the RP-500M II and M7100X in your own room.

Draw your room in 3D, place both, and see every connection checked and how loud they play at your seat. Designing is free.
