Can you show a pic of the area? Take a pic and post it? If it is daily, then placement may not be as much of a concern to you, but if it is, it may be recommended to have one of us design it for you. I just want to make sure you get what you want. But even from the details, I cannot put a picture in my head yet, I apologize. So, a posted pic of the space and idea visually will help a lot, if possible.
Looking at the layout, I believe 2 12s may be a better option, or even 2 10s. I can do wonders with 2 10s for you if your interested. Personally, instead of worrying about choosing either a single 18 or 2 smaller drivers, why not calculate for both? You could see which gives you more of what you are looking for in a response and output. Generally, I like to use smaller drivers, as size does not determine output, when you are limited to a certain space. SO, now that I see the area, I would personally recommend dual 10s in a common chamber-this comes from years of experience in acoustics.
Well, in that case, if you are less concerned with numbers and more concerned with pressure, then you should go with what has more cone area, power handling, and linear excursion capabilities. It comes pretty close with the two 12s and a single 18 on cone area, so measure them and figure which has the most. Likely, the 18 will follow with more power handling and higher excursion as well. If overall, the 18 gives you more of these factors, go with it, just make sure you have room to balance enclosure volume with displacement for a proper enclosure for this driver.
True. It is an AQ so likely. All you need to do is make sure the 18 is a dual 4. And you will be close enough to 2ohms in parallel.....it will slightly vary based on frequency, but nominally, 2ohms.
