I see a lot of people saying they use a single Mixcube to mix in mono, and that makes sense to me. But then I see some people use two Mixcubes like a set of low fi monitors.
What is the most commonly accepted way of using a speaker/s like this?
One Or Two Mixcubes?

One. In the middle.
I can kinda see an application for two but, realistically, what situation is that helping with? How many single-horn stereo speakers are there other than perhaps inside a TV? And I'm not sure that's even true anymore.
The key to the Mixcube is there's no crossover, so it's a clean representation of the midrange. And then there is its mono-ness so you're not wrestling with phase cancellation issues between two speakers.
There are other ways to demonstrate lofi issues in stereo that don't involve buying a second Mixcube.

Mike Senior uses one, set atop one of his nearfields. FWIW.
