[QUOTE="gnesterenko, post: 7350856, member: 632028"] Going to try to resque this thread before it devolves into flames... also subscribed because I had not considered TC subs when I was doing research. That said, i've made multiple threads, read about 15 and looked into reviews and the like. Like you, BrewCrew, I wanted to get something that would take a minimal amount of space (something I could install in the trunk side-pocket area with a custom-fitted fiberglass box). Also was looking at 10 and 12", though quickly decided to go with the 12". My thought on that was a) I want more oompf b) the sub is one component that I will absolutely be able to transfer between vehicles, so may as well get THE right one instead of having to upgrade later and c) I wanted more oompf... did I mention that already? Anyway, it seemed that the consensus always led back to a Shiva X2 (annoying as they are still out of stock - though it IS june now [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]). I can't speak from experience obviously as I haven't bought it yet, but for the price and considering its popularity, I figure worst case scenario - I hate it, resell it at maybe $30-$40 loss, and try something else. That said, subscribing to this thread. Curious to see how people compare TC subs to the Shiva X2. My focus is also sound quality (flat response, warm, transparant, no boominess, but needed to be able to dig down way low - planned crossover is around 65Hz and prolly a 24db shelf), but I also like to feel the bass in my chest cavity. I see TC for sale pretty much everywhere it seems. Shivas are much more difficult to come by. I think there was one guy on here, CACO and DIYMA in the last 4 months selling one, and he cancelled the sale for whatever reason (original emergency must have passed). My point being is, it seems that people that buy em hold on to them. That right there is a vote of confidence for me. But then again, it may be that TC subs are just that much more prolific? Anyway, GL with your build. I'm starting mine next weekend (sooo hyped! - build logs soon!). Lets hear some more opinions on here too - TC vs Shiva X2. Who wins?
