   ** From your graphs, the woofers seem close in level but there is something   
   fishy going on with the other two drivers.   
      
   Like you, I would expect the 4 ohm version to be about 3 dB louder in your   
   test  -  that it is not suggests to me that the drivers are non original in   
   the 4 ohm box.  The crossovers may be faulty or modified too.   
      
   You will have to do an investigation and use an ohm meter to compare the   
   resistances of each driver in each box.   
      
   At a guess, the woofer is an 8 ohm replacement, the horn driver is 16 ohms   
   and the tweeter is burnt out.
