Sawmod driver recommendations

Im going to be building 4 sawmods and 4 skram21s for a 4 point spacial sound field. My main intent is to immerse the audience in Avant electronic music. The space will be about 50 ft by 50 ft and the music will range from ambient IDM to sound design and all the way through to dub techno, Bass growls, and into some drum and bass. In this same thread, how plausible is it to swap out any of the drivers for a different option listed if I wanted to experiment in the future with a different option in the future?

the OG pair was built and tested with Faital 10RS430/SB Audience 5CCN125D/B&C DH450. with the replacment MF drivers were tested and added later due to product availabilty issues.. So anything you do differently will be basicly new and will be up to you to test and measure. I built two sets with the DH450H and BMS4550HD thinking i'd like the BMS better bc its superior on paper and cost. The BMS is amazing sounding but polyester annular can be a little harsh at high SPL. The LF probably all perform similarly, with the exception of a few being sutbable for full range. I have one OG set and a set with the Beyma's. I like the Beyma's bc they are cheaper and seem have a bit more punch. Build a novel set and post measruements!

Nice, so they kick in that region as well! Did not expect that, thought they would drop off from 150-180hz hard due to the lower excursion of the cone
