Well I am doing a similar thing right now. The exception is I run the 4655 full range and use LE-14a's in 4cu. Ft cabinets as stereo subs. I have used the roll off in my reciever to limit the bass into the 4655's but I think it sounds better with the 4655 full range and the subs blended in around 80hz or so. I considered 18 drivers from the tent sale but they need too big a box without some EQ. My 4655 sit right on top of my subs and this puts the horn right at the proper height. The Le14's are also driven by subwoofer plate amps so I can adjust level, phase, and crossover frequency. This gives me alot of flexibility and really lets you be able to dial them in to blend with the mains. This combination sounds very good in my room and gives me usable response to 25hz in my room. I personnaly chose this route because it cave me the most flexabillity and the abillity to change my mains and still be able to blend the subs without trashing some rather large and expensive custom cabinets if I went with and all in one speaker with the 18's in the same cabinet. What ever you decide have fun!
