Anyone using/used the RL-S 15"?

[SQBubble 10+ year member]

I'm looking into a new sub to replace my single tc-10oem sealed. the other one started making weird sound.. and one tc can't keep up with the b&w... even when I had two it wasn't keeping up too well...

so now im looking for a high excursion sub, 15" or 18", and the rl-s is the only one that i can think of.

I have 2krms of power, and 12.2cu.ft gross, I could fit a 15"rl-s in 9.98cu.ft NET sealed and thats with 1" all around and 2"baffle, not including brace, i'd assume .3cu.ft of bracing so somewhere around 9.5 NEt.

I'm basically looking for same or better SQ as the tc-10oem, deep, tight, but i just want it louder and able to keep up with the b&w. I really wanna feel the deep bass shaking me in the movies.

I did search, but it seems that this sub is very unpopular, and I think it's because it needs a big enclosure so nobody really bothered on buying one... But i'm really curious on how it perform in it's optimal sealed enclosure with good amount of power.

any thought, help, suggestion is appreciated.

one of them start making annoying sound at high excursion, the voice coil is absolutely fine, I think its just a problem of the alignment, i'm using only one right now, and I need more bass . . .

Those TC10OEM are suppose to have 'lifetime warranty'. Is TC Sounds/Audiopulse still going out of business? When I had mines the motor had shifted.....Someone fixed it and it started to make weird noises at certain frequency.

my vote goes with either a RL-s

or one of these

I think they're going out of business... if anyone know the latest news about tc plz let us know... if they really are going out of business, then its really a waste... I never had such a great subwoofer with such excursion.

the css looks REALLY nifty, but I'd use it for car audio application more than home, plus its a canadian compagny I won't have to pay customs and broker fees for once!!

I guess i'll stick with the rl-s for the home setup though!!
