True that but I do like the sound of the xb inna scoop. For me its not all about brutal spl its about what sounds the best. But for a shoot out you gotta take the driver within an inch of its life!!!!!! |

I would say test like this...... 1. first put into categories 15? 18? 21" mini-full 2. Test all flat 3. Sweeps 4. Test at full power (youngblood) 5. Test at designers preference (youngblood) 6.. Best in each category 7. Test with all genres of music 8. Best all round scoop of the day, taking into account, weight, size, sound should take a few hours |

So, Sir, will you be bringing your own drivers (TM's/PD.1850's or whatever) to be hammered to within an inch of their life and/or nailed to a cross in the name of 'proper soundman' testing.... or will you be expecting other people to bring their lambs to the slaughter whilst you watch and criticize from the back?
Perhaps consider calibrated tone generators and measuring devices and a single amp set at a specified level to ascertain spl levels at different frequencies and to get a feel of what the boxes can do.... ie, at xHz box A and driver A produced ydB, but with box A and driver B it produced zdB...... instead of throwing some badly copied/burnt/over eq'd track through someones system which will be set specifically to what they run or use.
Do some higher power track testing later after all the measurements have been taken to see how the aural results compare to the tone results.
Incidently, if you have to throw bucketfulls of power at a cab/driver combo to produce a similar sort of sound level to that of another cab/driver combo using much less power then that itself should speak volumes to you. (Note: I didn't use the the phrase 'quality of sound' in this paragraph, only sound level)
Classic!

Before listening to any music, you could run a sweep test at 5hz intervals into all the cabs through the same amp. Make up the graphs accordingly. This will tell you loads before you start.
I do this with all A/B testing i've done in the past. Paul and I also did this in the factory between two different chassis speakers. It would be a very good start and completely fair.
