Yes I ordered 2 of the 18's but am planning to try sealed. Not sure if 2 single cabinets or one dual opposed. I think the wife will help make that decision when she sees the size of the drivers and box plans.
Several pros for sealed: No high pass filter, no port chuffing, smaller box ect. Probably just being lazy but did not like what modeling was showing for port velocity and such. With Inuke6000 for just the 2 drivers I should have some decent head room. Another thing that made me consider sealed was that data-bass has measurements for SVS PB13 ultra as well as a sealed DIY build with the dayton 18's. The single sealed 18" dayton had higher output at 10hz and 12.5hz and across the board except SVS was better at 16,20 and 25hz. With 2 18 dayton's the SVS gets destroyed as far as output is concerned. We will have to see how sound quality is compared to SVS.

Hope to start on box or boxes Monday. Amp should be here on Wednesday. Hoping to have something ready to hook up by then.
All disappointment should abade once you power it up though.
just be careful it's not as fault-tolerant as more expensive amps i.e. you can break it. That's the other thing I know from 'personal experience'. Not the amps fault.
