Depends on music being played , if u want a one box solution I would go for the mbp-46! Goes low enough for most music but has a great kick aswell , something I heard the cubo carnt do so well as the mbp-46 can be crossed higher! But if your building kicks aswell defo go with cubo 18!

Dunno how that driver would go in the cubo but should work good in mbp-46 which isn't much bigger than a cubo!

Yep that's the one , I took mine out on Nye and was very impressed! These cabs are good with dance music as they cover a good amount of kick (or punch) , I cross mine straight to my 12"+1" tops! Read the thread on here about them , somethimes have an issue if the magnet is large as it sits close to the back panel but on the tread someone metioned about increasing depth abit!

Have a read!

Aaah :) Thanks again :D

I would check it out :)

This magnet is a double 240 oz magnet, so it's extra deep.

That doesn't look to bad might need a notch out of the back panel but don't quote me on it , its when you get into the realms of pd and void drivers is when you have a problem with magnet size cuz there huge!

The only thing I would say is go easy on them drivers to start with as the xmax isn't mega amounts , but In saying that probs about the same xmax as the drivers I got in mine at a guess cuz of not knowing the ts parameters! I run mine at about 600-700w each! I haven't used programs to load my cabs , I'm a drop in and test sort of bloke! But I'm sure they will be fine! How much power u thinking of running them at?
