Hey Wayne.
I would strongly suggest you keep in contact with David Lee &
Mark Seaton on your project.
These guys have been in basically, every sub shootout held
in the States, and, can give you ideas on things you might
of forgotten.
While the Subwoofer Shootout in NY had the right equipment
to perform the measurements, and, a wide variety of speakers,
we were very limited on music CDs.
I guess we all basically got caught up on the technical
side of things, and, forgot about the bottomline....
The music.
Seeing that you will have guys passing through from
all walks of life, different styles of music will play
a factor on how each sub compete head to head in the
ears of the listners.
Another thing is amplifier power. I know your in the
early stage, but I'm curious what kind of power will
you have at your diposal to test these subs.
If David Lee is there, more than likely, two QSC PL
9.0s will be present representing his Bassmaxx.
Mark Seaton has already stated he has a TEF available
so, that will basically close the deal on precise
measurements.
However, if these gentlemen won't be available, for the
scheduled date, what do you have that will supply the
subs with the right amount of juice, and, take the
proper measurements in the open field?
Try contacting Paul Bell

goes on when conducting a Subwoofer Shootout.
