I have had a couple of type Rs give me a good couple years. Since you are giving them rated, I would give yourself 3-3.4 cubes and tune a little higher. 34-38 Hz should be good. Keep in mind these use a 2 or 2.5 inch coil. They hit the lows, but don't shoot for them. You will get more spl from 35-45 Hz notes on these woofers while sounding very crisp. They do get hot! and they use cheap glue on the baskets to glue the surround down. I had 2 15" type Rs and tuned very low to find that the glue came undone and rubbed the coil a bit.

3.4 is net after port area.

I was contemplating going to 4 net, or should I stick with ~3.4?

you shouldn't make it that big. 3.5 would be max. They recommend 1.7 per. You can try it but then it gets difficult calculating port area.

On rated power you can go to 4 net for the two subs, that is if you have the space, post max dims for a box I you would like some more help.
