Monolith MAGMA Bass Preamp

hey Wade.. got a cabinet question for ya.
I was checking out that 415-RFL. I know this is a recreation of a mythic cabinet, but wouldnt having two fifteens in one box give ya issues at loud volumes? Also what is the design benefit of having the 15s that face each other? Im not THAT knowledgeable about cab design and just wanting to ask cos I keep wondering.

I assume it must all work well, especially at loud volumes, considering the musicians youre catering towards.. I just cant figure out why. I would guess that it does fill out the off axis amazing well, but my guess would also be, especially for the facing 15s.. and this is just a guess.. that the air off each one would effect the other negatively to some degree........ but the history is that the design is pretty respected. I guess Im just wondering why....
does that make sense?

btw.. these look pretty tall. how much taller/deeper would they be than say an 810fridge?
