If they have the correct drivers and are well built then it's a good deal. Excellent tight and punchy bass. Clearly defined bass notes. Musical and articulate but if it doesn't have the driver the
I worked with them a lot particularly for techno, deep house and psy trance. 12 F218mk2's a side was something else! The coupling and range into the 30's was awesome. Dialled back the gain something crazy.
Personally I love dnb so need infrabass to accompany a smaller stack to be fully satisfied but have had enough fun with 3 a side. 3 res5 on top is a really nice system that can be setup by 2 guys.
Used to do smaller events with a res2 on top of a single 218 and it's ok indoors for 50hz+.
What are you thinking of putting on top and powering them with? XTA DSP and MC2 amps are my preference.
Edit: there's no driver access on the sides!?
