I don't know for sure...i know the XXX's like it real low...i thought the MT's liked it high 30's low 40's as they were built for SPL

i guess it would also depend on the size of box.

yeah if you already have them you might as well use them both make sure you brace the box

i think it time to start banning 09ers already....

HAHAH.

Anyways, if you have the space, do two. I mean, from what you're talking about, money is no concern. However, a single sub in proper airspace will sound alot better than two subs that don't have enough room. So if you have a giant *** car/SUV, and the time, do them both. Ever considered a sealed application? That will cut down on box expenses, technical difficulty, etc.

yea i thought about sealed.. i just havent had much luck when i build sealed boxed.. i know it sounds wierd cuz all it is is looking at the recommended size for the sub, but still... anyways, i would rather go ported for lower more painful bass.

Did a box that was 8.5cubes @ 35Hz for a single MT 18. Off 2k of power it did around a 147+ at like 34Hz. Sounded fine for daily also.

I'd do a box for both since you have them and the power to push em. Window bracing would be my choice and a port in the center if possible as it'll double as bracing.
