How big of a wave can you expect in the marineland 300DD, with maybe average rock of 300-400lbs?
I am thinking of pairing this with 4 x 6125 tunze turbelles... I just want a good sway action in the tank and still have good flow for SPS. Will 4 of these pumps and the 1 big wave box work OK or will I need more than 1 box (ton of real estate)?

6214 is the current model and it is a bit more compact. While one will work, the wave will likely be in the range of 3/4" as the tank is quite wide. Narrow and long is a bigger wave than shorter and wider. You could start with one, you could use any DC model Stream to boost the wave and you could add a second to double the wave height.

3/4" maybe fine. I just want motion of polyps and particles to rock back and forth more than a non wavebox version. Unless it will be weak with one unit, then I need to pre plan for two...
Will the configurations of the constant stream pumps have a negative impact on The wave?
The Stream flow pumps will only have an effect if they are aimed at the wave box output which would reduce wave height. If they are synced with the wave box (share the controller) they would boost wave height. I would generally use them to create a directional current and use the wave box stand alone.
