Question 2 x P17 or 1 x PL18

hi
i wanna ask which would be batter

should i use two p17s or one pl18

price of one p17 is half the pl18 thats y i am asking

pl18 is 3db efficent but using two p17 wil make it up for it

both of them roll off below 100hz quickly

i will be using a sub so i need response down to midbase area
like say solid down to atleast 80hz

which is better and why
wt abt midrange qualities of both

i will be using a low end receiver with them so i wont be really hapy for below 4ohms load

thats y i'll be going for p17 4ohm version conted in series

any other drivers to consider in the same price range with similar compatibilities and quality

any suggestions

thx
aimen

Whenever i can i like to use 2 woofers, mount them push-push (and if necessary roll of the back driver -- ie use it as a 0.5 woofer)
