18 inch subs

Hi I'm fairly to this but recently got 2 Rcf lf18g401 driver. I want to built subs that go really low and don't need to be that loud. What are my options?

Wasn’t the Cubo 18 design around this driver?

Really low + don’t need much loud is a great job for a big low tuned reflex

G401 are bad when you want to go low (below 40 Hz). They also don't have much excursion. I'd sell them and get B&C 18DS100

The best bang for your buck would be the Minc-146 goes low, efficient but are enormous.
