You can't say regardless of driver, as Shortman, ASS scoops with 1850 are "currently" untouchable.  (Until tested against V18-1200+cab).

However put wrong driver in each of those cabs, and they'll be blown away by Superscooper with PD186/V18. However 1850 in Superscooper is not so hot.

Also the best design will sound crap with bad sensitivity if not built right.

I think question should be,

"If each design is loaded with optimum driver, which would provide highest, flattest SPL @ 30-70hz".

Which would also be ASS, Shortman +1850, and probably Rogs V18-1200 combo. 

EDIT:Unless Mykey's and or Hog scoop says different..

I thought the super scooper is meant to sound the best loaded with PD1850's followed by the V18's ?
 
Don't under-estimate ASS or Shortmans scoops loaded with the Wembley B-Line 800 driver.
If you've ever heard Lord Gellys sound system you'll know what I mean.
 
If you Listen Fable Sound system you'll hear the supers loaded with PD186's, which sound OK, but it ain't all that damaging.
 
This scoop shoot-out is well needed!!!

I know the truth hurts, Mykey; Hate the game, not the player... 

Fact of the matter is, Lots of heavy sounds have one of those two cabs with 1850's... End of... Don't really hear that much about Mykey scoops anymore...

Mike. It doesn't matter how much I polish my shoes, They always get covered in paint. And by the way, all you scoop lovers, now that we have completed the first batch of RXjnr's, which contain a deep cavity, we are now making the first RX 18 with the same cavity. Watch this space.

Tony what is the difference between the RX18 and the RX9?

Someone told me the RX9 was bigger and also had large chamber. Is this true?

Lev. If you mean the RXjnr. It has a chamber that is twice as deep as the RX 18. But it is 18" shorter. I finished painting the jnr's today so I will post pictures on monday before they dissapear.
