Both can work but are not optimal. Advantages of each:
SB Audience Bianco-15OB350
+ higher efficiency
+ lower moving mass (lower cabinet shake - cabinet shake can be solved by using two opposing woofers)
+ cheaper
+/- higher Qts (less equalization required - not a real advantage, as an equalizer is required anyway)
Dayton RSS390HF
+ higher Xmax (2-3 dB louder without too much distortion)
+ demodulation rings for lower harmonic distortion
+/- lower fs (advantage if used below 30 Hz, otherwise it just hurts sensitivity)
Efficiency is not that important, because amplifier power is cheap. Cabinet shake can be problematic depending on neighbours and how the cabinet is built. Cabinet shake is cancelled when two woofers are used for each cabinet and these are mounted in opposing directions.

TBTL thanks a lot for taking time and putting the points so clearly.
I'm going to have two opposing drivers in each cabinet, and il make sure cabinet is strong enough.
Once again...thank you so much !!! It surely helps !!
