Question's on MJ \ IXL setup. Need advice

[generalGOTCHA 10+ year member]

Ok what would problably give me the best output with these given factors.

My amp: Orion HCCA 250 800Wrms(car off) @ 1 ohm 400Wrms@2ohm's

9 Cubic feet of space to work with total!!!!!

375$ budget

Would 3 MJ18's sealed get louder than two MAW 15's ported???

Given the fact that the three 18's would be slightly under powered, and the MAW 15's would be in their ideal ported enclosures?

Or say I sacrifice the power of my Orion HCCA 250 and use it for treble amplifier , instead of buying 3xMJ18's only buy 2, use the 120$ towards a cheaper amplifier thats 2 ohm stable to push the 18's in their ideal ported enclosure?

Just to throw another idea out there, would a single 15" IXL in it's almost 9 cubic ft IBS enclosure get close to hitting as hard as what my other options are ?

Otherwise anyone know of a good 18" subwoofer around 300$ that can wire down to a 1 ohm load ?

I'd go with the two MAW 15's ported.

****.... Trying to save money here, but looks like I will have to get a 2 ohm stable amplifier for the pair of 18's.

2 MJ-18's in 9 cubes ported. Dump your amp. Look for something that can deliver up to 1kw per driver...
