FI or TC sounds

[jaco 10+ year member]

i know that this forum is all about FI but

i've herd alot of good and bad about them, TC sounds have been making woofers for years and i hardly ever hear anything but good things about them.

i herd from numerous people that FI is a knock off of TC and copies thier designs.

whats the truth on this because the FI dose look alot like TC's

and i'm trying to decide FI or TC and when i pick 1 of those it will be between that brand and DD

for 2 10' or 2 12's in a enclosure ported to 38 hz

they don't look the same at all to me...

personally i would go with tc if I have the money, and because their sub don't need large box to perform well, judging by what they recommend.

If you're basing looks off of the 12 spoke basket than everyones been making knockoffs for quite some time.

 

[jaco 10+ year member]

yes i've seen tons of woofers with thay same basket, but i'm just stating what i've herd.

i'm looking at DD 2500 and 3500

TC 1000 and 2000 but the 1000 has more Xmax

and FI bl or btl

bit the FI's are the most costly out all the above

i know someone thats sponsered by DD and he can get me a great deal.

but i've never herd TC or FI

i'm curious as to where you heard this. not jumping on your back, just wondering.

you must be drinking... TC has a different basket, surround, cone, motor, coils... but of the two, I would choose TC if you're talking about the 3k or better. otherwise, i would choose FI.

 

[jaco 10+ year member]

i stated aboue that the baskets on FI are the same as TC 1000 7 9

but i've never herd or seen either in person or herd either.

Why are you considering such a wide variety of subs? The Tc-1000 and BTL are two totally different leagues, and just because a subwoofer has more xmax does not make it better then any other sub.

 

[dalucifer 10+ year member]

FI and TC are nothing alike. Some of TC's drivers come with 12 spoke basket. I would have to say depending on power and what you looking to do would depend on which company would be better for you. Both good companies..

 

[jaco 10+ year member]

i just looking for some thing to put in a fart box with a visonic v4000xd

and those 3 companies are the top 3 i've read about on this site
