You wont get sub that is extremely loud and throws extremely far with only 2x 18" drivers. LOL

And I hope you have at least 800W rms of amp power for each driver.

L18P300 will self destruct in scoops without much power being supplied.

WSX will sound good outdoors if you have about min 4x of them per stack, and are >=20 meters away from the cabs.

1x L18 loaded, 2x18 reflex will sound good in very, very small venue.

186 Horn/Cerwin Vega SL36 would probably be best all rounder for this driver.

Get more 18" woofers partner. Pick what is convenient and solid for your use,listen to other systems that are doing what you are planing(not just Davey Scorpion).

To be quite honest, the absolute best thing for you to do is sell the RCF's and get Void V18-1000.

Then you can build either Superscoops, my scoop or WSX, and get extreme SPL with just 4x cabs inside or out. As long as you have min 800W per driver.

I know WSX with V18-1000 is immaculate outside, but in small venues indoors with L18P300 I think it might be a bit tame.

Can you borrow a Vega SL36 off someone? May be suprising with L18P300. Will drop deeper than 186 Horn, but larger.

If you then build SL36, it will sound better than an  original.
