I think that the 18-5008a is not suitable for a scoop...

@Miles. Nice review, as for the varished bit, dopeing cones is a DIY job.

@Dub Spec Sound    I recon the comparison is more low end 600w P Audio stuff.
 
 They look similar in sims in 200l boxes, can't get that low flat bit that an XB does and seem to do that climb towards 100hz that all cheap drivers do.

 Omega pro is overpriced, but in a kick type cab or some horns is cool at used prices.
 Sigma pro is another thing, only 3" coil but nice driver, can be had cheap via Euro exchange issues at the moment. I'm told it goes well in a scoop too, Lev will have the details I think?

 If it has to be new driver then The Box is proper value, but a used XB or Sov Pro makes more sense if available IMHO.
It's everything, not everythink!

TSP do not look like a (backloaded)horn type driver.
