I have measured excursion on the Peavey Low rider 15" in a dual tapped horn design. The speakers performed well within the published 9.6 mm Xmax rating.
My measurements were a bit on the light side, the speakers were built by a friend and the only testing was done outside while snowing with snowmobiles blasting by. However, a pair of the dual 15 tapped horns kept up well to four front loaded Peavey dual 15" with 2" drivers crossed at around 100 Hz with some fairly heavy duty recorded hip-hop and pop music for a crowd of over a thousand during and after the snow board competition.
Have you actually compared a P audio speaker to a Peavey Low Rider ?

Maybe even something cheaper as the P.Audio will do, any suggestion Art?
Scameron, what is the price for the P.Audio C18-600LF over there doing?

loudspeaker plus has the C18-650EL on sale right now for $159. the only place i could find the C18-600LF, doing a quick search, is US Speaker and they run $229.
Some info on that driver in this enclosure, here:

This was with 1460W and the B&C driver I'm referring to is the 18SW115 which I'm currently waiting on distortion specs, excursion specs and power compression numbers for.

Sensitivity is something that works differently in TH's. Normally Sensitivity figures are given for 40-500Hz response for 18" drivers, not just for sub use.
Btw do you already have an amp?
Maybe you could get away with the Eminence Sigma Pro-18A and some EQ.
How you want to use them and what are the tops that will go with these subs?
current set is 4 SP118x subs and 2 SP2s (newer style). i ran one 2450 on the subs and the other 2450 in stereo for my tops. the 850 may be a better amp for the tops. i wanted to run 3 way using my DCX2496, reason for buying the 850. i am always looking to buy another 2450. i guess it will depend on what drivers i purchase.
yeah, i was just looking for some specifics on them.

Just a suggestion;
Why not running just 2 Xoc1-TH18's and load them with a better 4 Ohm driver? That way you are saving space, extra wood (you can use those $ for the drivers
) and end up with a better and smaller system...
1 x 2450 on the 4 ohm subs (2 x 750 @ 4Ohm)
1 x 2450 on the lows of the SP2's (2 x 500 @ 8Ohm)
1 x 850 on the high section of the SP2's (2 x 200 @ 8Ohm)
Later on you can update (if really necessary but I doubt that) to another 2450 so you can run them bridged for each cab.
