You'd be better off with Void 18-1000

I have Omega pro's in my scoops powered with 1200w each and they sound really good.I have also used them in a BR cab and they sounded really good too.I don't know if they would too sound good in an X1 tho...The X1 being a bandpass design,I would rather put a more powerfull driver in it,but give it a go u never know.If it don't sound good at least you'll have some X1's which u can load with better drivers at a later time.

With bandpass you can simply expect less quality,while the more resonant and 'peaky' the resposne is,the worse the sound gets. But if SPL and chest rattling bass is what you like,it should work.

Have run a simulation of the OmegaPro 18 in the X1, and it would appear
to work - sort of. Tuning will end up a fraction higher than the
P.Audio driver, but the main problem will be running out of excursion
with the Omega around 50Hz with only 230W

Eminence Sigma Pro has bigger x max of 6mm instead of 4.8mm the Omega has.But 3 inch instead of 4 inch voice coil that the Omega has. Wonder how well the Eminence Sigma Pro 18 would sound in the X1???
