Yes, I was originally thinking about using a 15 or a 12 as well.

186 will certainly go down to 60, but like stated before, use of a 15 for kick would give a faster cleaner sound, and probably a more manageable size too.

I prefer to cut the labs at around 60hz as they just seem to sound best there, otherwise you have to eq a lot of the upper sub freq out of them, so I'd really prefer to find a design that will go down to 60 or 70.

USB was designed for exactly this. The dimensions fit so it looks neat and it sounds good when properly set up.
Don't test the champignon sound

No 186 for that range! To big and wont go that high. Also no need to go lower than ~90 Hz, if you got labs underneath.
Any 15" BPH should work fine. Try to simulate something in hornresp, search for limmer 115 or ask bee about his new cabs.

Hey all, I've got labhorns and I'm looking to build something to go between them and possible res3sh so I would want it do from around 60 to 200hz ... how does the 186 sound in the upper ranges ? On the description its stated as being very musical/hi fidelity, does this hold true for the upper frequencies ? 

Thanks !
