"Strong motor and low qts equals less low end"

I think you mean different - it all depends on your goal. For example the V18-1000 was really designed for cabinets that didn't do much below 40, with a big peak at 45. Strangely enough, when I've measured scoops or rear-loaded horns in the real world, that's where their peak is and where the sound man has gone 'feel that super low weight'…

The statement holds true to some extent in a reflex cabinet because the drivers are not well suited to that cab design. You can get plenty of sub out of those drivers in a cabinet with higher air loading such as horns and bandpass. A reflex cab just doesn't load the driver enough to make use of the motor strength.

Not possible, "Scoops can't do deep sub".
Only 2x18s can go that deep

i have been told that scoops dont do sub  !!!!  

4 scoops yes, might go low. My 21 inch rear loaded horn goes to 32hz as one box.

Marjan, would be great if you could bring 4x 218s to Golden Palace, London, to face 3x other decent Scoop systems, to test your theory.

Problem is, I'd guess you'd want more than the 32A, alloted to each system.
