A small change in volume shouldn't matter too much. If the sides are no longer parallel, then that is a bonus, as it will reduce standing waves. Different drivers can make a big difference, not always in a positive way. Depends on the number of people. Some folks buy really big amplifiers to power a number of subs. I tend to use amps as I can lift them OK. A smaller amp can always be used for lesser duties later on, like mid-range, for instance. |

Buy the PD's. It's cheaper in the long run as you won't have to recone them... The box was design around them.. If you're really really on a budget, buy a behringrer EP2500. They are less than £200 and if you run it bridged it will give you 2.4k into your sub... Personally I'd buy the PD's and cut corners on the amp by buying a behringer. |

When I lasted asked Pro Audio Parts for a price on a pair of PD186's they quoted me £440 delivered. The RCF L18P300 are cheaper price, and will not suffer from the slight power dip at 50Hz.
