Burp it, blow it, and win. The only way to accuratley faceoff two subs is to keep as many variables constant as possible.
I could also take my Jeep, throw a 200 shot of nitrous on it, trade my mud tires in for racing slicks, and beat a stock Mustang GT. Regardless of blowing my engine up.
On a side note, who the heck are you? I see this debate has leached it way over to other boards, so I guess we can expect a trolling insurgence of naysayers now.
Not naysayers, just an observant person.
Why not make the optimum enclosure for each subwoofer? The 13W7 is a much better sealed woofer box than the more SPL-geared woofer that your competition is using, that's what i'm trying to get at.
Why is making a ported box for each woofer no longer a "constant"? You don't need to make some crazy off the wall box for a 10" to make it outperform a more expensive woofer, this has been proven very often.
I know you are trying to make things look "fair", but you keep adding more and more addendums to this competition to make things "fair", and frankly it makes me think (and probably others witnessing this) that you are a little more nervous about this whole competition since it has gathered so much attention.
