12 TC-3000 vs12 FIQ vs12w7

[Peaks 10+ year member]

Ok after 4 months searching for subs I have narrowed it down to these three.I need help in making my final decetion.I have been looking for a sub that sounds realy good and can get loud.It also needs to be under 50 pounds and dose good in mediem sized ported boxes( around 2.2cu).I do not have an amp or box yet, I am starting with the sub first.

I have searched all the fourms trying to compare the three but with little info.I am leaning more towards the TC-3000 because it is on sale,but would it do good ported,and how would it compare to the other two.

I need info from somebody that have used these subs,As I am having some serious bass cravings and can not wait any longer.

I'll be putting a TC-3000 is a 2.35 cf ported box at 33 hertz here in a couple days, Ill send you a pm with the results that i get. I would suggest the TC-3000 just because of the price, I mean, you could get 2 and throw them in a 2.5 cubic foot sealed box if you wanted for the price of one W7 give or take a couple bucks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

x2.. the TC-3000 or the Q would probably be your best bet. the Dub 7 is still nice, its just too expensive.

I have my Q in 2.3 cubes @ 31 hz, with about 1300 RMS and it wangs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You can't go wrong either way.

Never heard the 3000. The w7 is nice, but way to expensive and the Q I have, but very dissappointed with it. Mine is sealed getting bout 900 watts and it just dont sound right. Currently is in bedroom. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

In what way does it not sound right? What size enclosure do you have it in?

I have only heard a Q and a W7 but I would definately go with the 3000. All around higher quality sub.

For the price of those TC's right now, I'd get two of those 12"s.

Why are you comparing a Q to a TC-3000 and W7 considering the Q is only $260 and the TC-3000 is $335 and the W7 is probably close to $400? Wouldnt a BL be more comparitive than a Q considering it takes more power with the cooling options and costs around but just under a TC-3000?

Idk, but thats just me.

Budget = Q.

Money = TC-3000.

PS: I bumped this bc I was searching ideas on what subs to get in the Search.

btw the op did this thread back in the beg of march when the tc3k was on sale for $250

Honestly I'd take the TC-2K over the TC-3K, Le is WAY too high on the 3K for my taste, the 2K is better overall for musical purposes, and the 3K will take more power and abuse.
