Would (4) Lab Subs walk all over my (4) LS808's? Thanks, Rusty Irby

Yes. And, at 4x the size too. FWIW Evan

Actually, only about double the space- four LS808 (without wheels) take up 46.84 cubic feet, four Lab subs take up 105 cubic feet.
The 45 inch depth is a no go for me, and if you are going two or more high, the width could be a problem in small venues too.
I'll repeat something I wrote about before, even though I know 650Ps are not that loud:
Got to do a side by side gig with my system ground stacked onext to a flown Vertec 4889 system, 8 per side with 4 Meyers 650P subs per side.
16) 18” cones, 9920 watts ”burst capability”,140 cubic feet of truck space, 1768 LBS.
Headliner frequently pushed the 650P subs into TPL (TruPower limiting) and Excursion limit. The spectrum was 60 HZ boom boom, about 6 dB more 60 than 40 HZ, which corresponds with the cabinet’s continuous rating and spectrum.
At FOH, about 125 ft out, the system was hitting 108 dBC, the hard limit, no extra VU swing resulted in any more output, though it did sound crunchier..
My stage was doing dance groups with recorded music and one live act. On the last dance group, with some fairly heavy LF content, my 4) 2xLab 12” front loaded subs were hitting 104 dB, spectrum looking pretty equal from 40-80 HZ.
8)12” cones, 3600 watts, 31 cubic feet of truck space, 400 LBS.
+2 dB at 40 HZ, -4 dB at 60 HZ compared to the sixteen 18".
Not bad for something smaller than what Rusty currently uses.
And unlike a LS808, they sound really accurate.
