The cabinet. With two OTop 15s you need at least two T48s to have a balanced system. By the same token if two T48s are more subs than you need then two OTop 15s are more tops than you need.
Wow, that is a reality check. So, with two T39s, go with two OTop 12s? or two Jack 112s perhaps?
2X OTop 112, 3012HO, melded - 2X T39, 27", Lab 12 - XF 212 - 4 DR250, 2 melded, 2 straight
2 20" T39 3012LF - WH10 - WH8 - in the shop - 2 more 20" T39s

Two OTop 12 or two Jack 10.
I always find it amusing when I see on other forums guys with 2x15 tops asking what single small sub they can use with them. :noob:

Got the 2nd cabinet built and am powering with a Behringer EP2000 350wx2 at 8ohm. We moved the 4 ohm resistor bewteen the capacitor and the lead. The tweeter array was a little hot by default. Sounds fantastic now. Really impressed.

Off to build the T48s now.

It is all my 4 T48s can do to keep up with my four Otop15s. I would say that they almost need 2 more T48s. Consequently we have to more T48's planned for build.
So let it be written ... So let it be done.
