Item(s) for Sale:

I have two TC Sounds LMS-R 12's. These subwoofers are absolutely insane. I wish I could run these in my truck, but I simply just don't have the space to do it with. I have a crew cab 2008 Sierra so you can understand why I cant fit these. I want to run ported, which is why I am going with some SA-8's ported.

You can check them out here which are sold exclusivity through Parts Express for $369.05 a piece PLUS shipping.

I have read that people who are not running the recommended wattage, which is 1000wrms, are running anywhere from 1400-2500 watts rms to each subwoofer. These subs really dont start to shine till you break the 1200 watt barrier. These subs also perform exceptionally well in a ported enclosure over a sealed enclosure, HOWEVER, they do have a very flat response curve for a true Sound Quality driver if you decide to use a sealed box. These subs just really dive down extremely low, if tuned low, in a ported box. I will place bets with anyone that these subwoofers will dive down lower, louder and deeper than the subs you have.

Once again, I wish I could fit these in my crew cab truck. I just simply cannot. I can only go by hooking my amp up to my friends pair of LMS-R 12's in his Explorer and watch that Ford nearly come apart with so much percision, accuracy, no distortion, super ultra deep lows, and SPL that would blow your mind. I even had, which unfortunately is now my ex girlfriend, do the hair trick in the Explorer with the two 12's and my 3000wrms amplifier.

Item(s) Description/Condition:

BNIB. These have never been powered up or anything. I was thinking of running a temporary box by using my 40 part of my 40/60 rear bench seat, but I just dont want to turn my truck into a 4 person truck. I already have a center console so the front is already a 2 seater. So I will be going with some SA-8 V2's once I get these sold.

I have taken out the subwoofers to take ACTUAL pictures. I have also assembled the top and bottom assemblies so everyone knows what they are dealing with. I have not powered these up, so they are considered BNIB, straight from TC Sounds.

Currently my truck is in pieces so I dont even have a way to put any power to these subs anyway. Trust me, I have been itching to build a box just to hear what these things can do in my truck. All I can go by, is what I heard from my friends Explorer with two of these same 12's in his Explorer with 2500wrms in a 3 cu ft box tuned to 28hz and it absolutely just murdered the lows like I have never heard before. I just wish I had a Tahoe, like I have been wanting for the past couple of years, so I could just throw these in a 30hz tuned ported box and let these wang, but I just simply dont have the room.

Price:

Price from partsexpress.com has them at $369.05 each plus shipping.

I am willing to let these go for $340 shipped each to your home. I won't break these up unless I have two committed buyers, then I will split the two up.

So for the pair I will do $660 shipped.

The magnet weighs in at 30.5 pounds. I had to test this out by taking it to my scale and weighing just the magnets themselves. Total overall weight of just one subwoofer is 38.5 pounds. With the packaging and subwoofer, we are looking at 40 pounds. I will ship these however you prefer. If you prefer to have them shipped as TC Sounds shipped them; upper assembly in one box and the bottom 30.5 pound magnet in another box or I can ship each subwoofer ASSEMBLED in one box.

Shipping and Miscellaneous Item Information:

Price includes shipping, which will cost me about $40-60 to ship EACH since these weigh in at 40 pounds packed. They come with TC Sounds warranty

I'd prefer local pick up since these are so heavy and costly to ship, but I have everything to ship these in since I still have the boxes that the top and bottom assemblies came in with. I just took them out for pictures.

Very odd that everyone seems to be interested in this sub individually instead of wanting the pair. I have always found it harder to move a brand new single sub than a pair. Most people want a pair.

 
So it looks like I have a guy committed. "It Happens" will be sending over the funds at the end of the week so if anyone wants the other one, let me know. The second sub is ready to be purchased and shipped.

However, if I get money in my paypal account for both subs from one buyer before the end of the week, I will be sending those out, but otherwise, the first one is spoken for till the end of the week.

So c'mon guys. Great price for some bad ass subs that will destroy the lows like none other. Great for Home Theater use also. Super low distortion and dives down into the teens if needed. I have alot of interested people, but alot seem to be short on cash at the moment. Very sought after subs. These wont disappoint if you are looking for that super low frequency responses, low distortion, and can take some power. Works great in sealed and ported enclosures.

 
As stated above I won't back out but you do what ya gotta do to make that cheese!!!!
Im sure you wont back out brutha, hence why I said one was already spoken for; meaning yours is. I just need to be able to move the other subwoofer is all. I cant be stuck with one LMS-R 12. Its yours. Just trying to get the other one sold. Yours is spoken for unless someone wants to come in and buy both, but from how things have been on in this thread and all of the PM's I have received, it looks like everyone is just wanting one each. So you should be set. I would actually lose money if I sold these together since I am offering a discount to sell these two subs as a pair. Like I said, I just dont want to be stuck with just one LMS-R that I will need to move. I can feel that once I sell one, someone on the board will PM me or hit me up for the pair when I already have one sold. Its just my luck. LOL

So everyone, I have one LMS-R 12 still up for grabs! Never seen power. Only took it out of the box to take pictures of how it was shipped; top assembly in one box and bottom assembly (motor) in another box, then with pictures of it assembled. It will cost me quite a bit more to ship these like they were shipped to me straight from TC Sounds in San Diego, rather than ship the subwoofer assembled. Its just cheaper to send one box versus two boxes.

Wish I didnt have my electrical, my amps removed, center console and rear seats removed out of my truck and a box to put these in so I could feed these some power to test them out and see what kind of super low frequency damage a pair of these would do.

 
Had alot of interest in these subs, but no one has came through. Had a guy said he was going to buy it at the end of the week last week once he got the money, but havent heard from him after sending him a couple of emails. So alot of interest from the thread and PM's, but I still haven't received any payments.

So like I said, I am willing to trade towards an H.O. alternator for my truck and/or batteries. Im also willing to take offers, but no low ball offers please. I know how much I paid for them and they are BNIB and have never seen power nor have they been in box.
