Well I don't have a Harmon Rotating speaker swapping device in my house, so I guess we'll just have to do the best we can as pathetic as that may be....Yeah, but to get truly accurate results of SQ, you need to do a level of analysis that just is not possible at such meetings as a practical limitation. That is, realize, 'my' standard of analysis is what I mean - which is of course not what a normal DIYer would ever consider practical.
Just listening in uncontrolled situations like this is making a conclusion with too many variables in place to make a confident conclusion.
I would EQ both to the same response, then record both at near field, then later mix the recordings back with a full range signal and listen over reference phones. For the listening test portion, anyways. For real time listening analysis, you need to EQ them identically, and have a rotation turntable behind an acoustic curtain that will place each sub in the same exact space.
My primary interest is a proper set of ground plane measurements.

But I don't think everything needs to be so freakin anal.... I can easily tell when something good sounds better then cr@p even through slight imperfections... I can sit around all day long and say my CR@P don't stink, but my farts will eventually give me away....
Think about it....
There will plenty of that around.... This is Milwaukee, we have a really bad reputation to uphold here.....I would just drink a lot of beer and have a blast with all the subs....
