As far as being small both 18's share the same box, unlike many other double 18's that are two seperate enclosures in cabinet As far as port size, big small it doesn't really matter as long as you look at the port velocity, and tuning specs per the driver and box. As far as cabinet flex, I'm sure you all are right.
