Howdy - Very generic question with yet no real modelling done;

How suitable is using a single PR18 with the Tempest-X2? Can I get away with it or is it just too close for comfort to skimp on the extra unit for 'real-world' overhead? I would be looking to tie it with a steep subsonic filter to stop the passive over excurting. (Is that even a real word?)

Thanks chaps; interested to hear your thoughts.

Kinda depends.....how much power are you going to put in it? How big is your box? The extra pr will give you a safety margin if your are gonna use more power(over 500-600 watts). It will also balance the enclosure if you put them on opposite sides of the enclosure to offset the moving mass during strong excursions.Hope that helps.

+1 to what Bob said.

You have to model it and see what you need. The balancing of forces is a good idea. It isn't always necessary, but if you put a lot of mass on a PR, it can cause a lot of rocking forces.
