question about subs

the 1850 horn cab vs the super scooper which is a better cab

for what?

you could get away with using the Scoop for every application, although OK for PA but not the best, also you could use just one cab.

The 1850 would be good for PA, not good for reggae and you have to use more than one to get the best from them

I have never heard the 1850 horn but can get an idea from the drawing as to what they will sound like

so if you are not a pro PA company and do the odd hire for dance music etc, go for the scoop

Just to support what mike has said, I have always maintained that the 'scoop bin' is one of the most underrated sub bass cabs of all times. Too many people rely on a cab to give them a certain sound, without realizing that these cabs can be engineered to fit most applications. A good scoop is a very versatile bass cab, especially when only in a 3 way system. The pro PA companies have to bend to what's on the rider, but in general, the Rock and Roll business has rejected these type of cabs because they were pigeon holed. If there were more brave people out there in PA land, I'm sure there would be more scoops.

I'll try and find a video of Barry White on stage with about 6 scoops behind him

dought if they would have been used in the Main PA though

I think allot of engineers complain that they're no good is because they have never used them and don't want to be embarrased if they Fk up
