I need help Choosing subs SI MAG vs tc 3000

[mega1268 10+ year member]

ok i have a couple options here and im liooking for tight accurate bass with ablity to get pretty loud... but not loud whjere it drowns out the front stage. I have a 9.1 to work with.

Si mag 12 ported 1.8 tuned to 32 hz......... good thing about abuot this option i already have the box and it will cost me 400

SI mag 15 450+80 bucks for sealed 3 cube box

Or TC 3000 for 425+80 bux for the box.

Ive owned almost every sub with very little happiness. w7's xxx to boomy. IDmax was quick accurate and tight but i wanted somethign alittle louder. Same with the rlp it was alittle louder.

I had an uberwoofer which is sorta like the 3000 i would think. Only sub i havent tried i think is the SI mag

what didnt you like about your uberwoofer?

hrm i dunno it seemed like to much of a low end monster. It over powered the upper bass it was supposed to play. But out of all the subs that was 1 of my favs

You never told me you had a mustang

The 12 would work really well with that amount of space, and it in hatch it will get VERY loud. So I would just go with that. Even though I am porting a pair of 15's in mine:naughty:

It seems as if you need to work on improving installation before you work on improving equiptment. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I may be lil bias, but the MAG is a better sub than the TC's. TC makes great subs, but IMO the quality and output doesnt compare to the MAG. Im 99% sure you would love the MAG, and wont want another sub period.

I am a Mag owner and love the shit out of it. easily one of the best woofers I have every used or heard.

and going from your original post I think you would be happy with a Mag. I would go for the 15 if you can, deeper, a little louder than the 12 and very accurate. SQ is top notch on the mag while still having the capability to get very loud.

yep

If you didnt like the RL-p, the mag *may* not going to give you much beyond that if any (very similar performance and motor design, check the dimensions and T/S for yourself). You should step up to 4" voice coil.

BL 18.35 20.7

just to name a few..

fyi.. the current mag design.. is completely different then the TC9 based product you guys built for him a couple years back.. and from testing I've done.. performs much better too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you make good products.. you don't have to bend information around //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

*edit.. just dug up my data on the old TC sounds Magnums... and that data isn't close to the RL-P either..
