Hi
If you compare four Bassmaxx B Zeros to four EV MTL 1X cabinets, four Bassmaxx B Zeros will keep up and, offer more output below 50 Hz than four EV MTL 1X enclosures.
When you say, “kick” that is more upper bass region. Double Eighteens are usually not as loud as folded horns under those conditions since the frequencies that comprise of “kick” are short bass waves.
Horns are beneficial over reflex cabinets under those conditions due to amplifying the frequencies that comprise of kick better than a reflex box. That is the main reason why many use bass horns.
Also, it is very common for many to own lots sub cabinets and not enough low midrange drivers especially when the bulk of the music material consists of a lot of mid bass. This is why many use “Kick bins.” The cabinets perched on top of the double eighteens in your avatar resemble twelve’s. If they are indeed twelve’s I can understand why you are looking for bass cabinets that offer a strong “kick.”
I would suggest contacting David Lee if you would like suggestions on a bass driver for the Bassmaxx B Zero. When I heard them, they used the Neomaxx 18. I believe the mechanics are similar to the old Aura 1808.
Best Regards,
