Presuming everything going into them is the same (impedance, wattage per pair of drivers, DSP, phase. etc.) how well would a pair of Peavey SP118s and a single SP218 work together? I already own two pairs of SP118s and have the opportunity to acquire a pair of SP218 to bolster a small system, but only if they'll play nice together. These are not the BX model; both models use the same driver(s).

In the interest of details and because I didn't realize there were so many configurations of the same two models, the first picture is what I currently have four of and the second picture is what I'm looking at adding two of:

They probably have some small differences in tuning and response, so resonance frequency and phase might be slightly different. Acoustically I don't think there should be much of an issue, but if you were to power them in parallell as a 2 ohm load per side, phase response and resonance frequency differences might become an issue. Sometimes, when connecting different subs to the same amp, there will be "flabbyness" deep down.

I'm planning using a separate amp of the same make and model for the dual 18 that I'm currently using for two single 18s, that shouldn't be an issue. For what it's worth the drivers in all boxes are the same make, model and impedance.
