Your subs capacity to cope depends on more than absolute quoted RMS values. Don't expect the subs to cope with 460Wrms if the the drivers are driven below the tuning freq of a ported box for example.
Also factor in how the rms values were derived, you may find manafacturer 'a' under-estimates values to promote a quality image whilst manafacturer 'b' overestimates to shift greater volumes of a cheaper product.
Without being able to measure the voicecoil's temperature against known limits or excursion against xsus whilst in use you will have to take care (not be paranoid!)
Enjoy the sound

Just for info, (car-sub) I was using a JBL GT12-2 rated at 225Wrms driven by a Precision Power a600.2 rated at 600Wrms 10-40KHz. The sub died without any audible complaints, just played one minute, silent the next. On opening my boot(trunk) the smell of death was obvious. The point being a good quality amp delivering clean signal, with the sub below xmax but above rms will be a silent killer- don't just go by distortion!
Enough already...... :)
