i've tbx...they sound very different from pd or void...but is warm and you can hear the tone of evry bline...for me great solution!

There is more to which driver is good in scoops than just power handling.

Is sometimes good to check forum threads, than to post questions, that were answered previously.

Ignore manufacturer's sensitivity figure, only consider reference efficiency, expressed as figure between 1.8 - 4.0. Forget all Eminence, Paudio, Cerwin Vega, Peavey drivers Forget all drivers where Xmax < 7mm Forget all drivers with VC diam < 4" Forget all drivers where ref efficiency (no) < 1.8 Forget all drivers with BL < 24 (Except PD186), or  Qes > 0.35, or Qts > 0.35, or Vas > 360, or Fs > 35hz Separate drivers into 2x groups, BL, qts, Vas,  similar to PD1850, or similar to Void V18-1200. Apply the above rules to the thiele/small parms, and ignore the glossy sales drivel.

My previous comments  suggest the 18tbw100 wouldn't be all that special in scoops. And cringe to think what the price would be.

For small chamber scoops, try to locate drivers which have Qes/Qts/Vas/BL/Xmax similiar to PD1850, V18-1000, Fane 18XB, PD186, B&C 18TBX100.

For medium/larger chamber,  look for drivers similar to PD1851, Void V18-1200, Fane 1000, Fane 1500.

We had some mini's loaded with tbx46, and they sound warm,but dint half shift some air for what they are.

Just as a matter of interest, especially to our UK users. The new 18 from B and C will not be sold in the UK at this time. The info states that it's for OEM customers only and looks like you would have to buy the Powersoft unit to go with it. However, I have it from the main man that it won't happen here, but I guess nothing is written in stone so who knows, maybe in the future.
