And a dual 18" subwoofer cabinet should weigh at least 150 pounds...
What you really meant to say was: "with currently accepted technology" -- It is possible to make lightwieght subwoofers that are better sounding and better looking than anything currently available. Unfortunately, it would require the manufacturers to experiment with materials which are not the same thing used for the past 60 years. About the only advancement in driver technology has been the switch to neo instead of ferrite. When other materials are used for the actual cabinet construction, expect to see dual 18" woofers under 80lbs that are just as solid as their wood counterparts. But, pro-audio is typically the lowest-tech industry when it comes to new materials, so you will be waiting a while for that to happen.

The new Carvin TRX Neo Dual 18s look really good on paper + at a price point of $730 or so the price is right too. The specs look great, about 100 lbs and 134db continuous? Too good to be true? Anybody tried these?

You can get a lot of truly pro subs for less than that, used. I would suggest you do you homework there first, and skip the idea of getting Carvin subs.
