right now i have 2 of those cheap xtreme subs. im running them sealed. but my question is would two pioneer tsw29c's handle the same power? i have the xtemes on 150 rms. will the pioneers be able to handle this ported if there only rated 120 rms?

you will be fine, 30rms usually never hurts a sub. clipping the piss out of an amp will hurt the sub though. set your gain correctly and you will be fine. depending on what amp you have you might not even be pushing 120 watts rms
