I'm addicted... (TC or SI?)

Not certain if anyone mentioned this but you're not exactly giving that sub that much power running the Sundown at 2 ohms (1.4 is DC resistance). I would try a ported box and about 2k for power before you give up on it.

 
As far as I'm aware, I haven't gotten free stuff from any company //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Not that I'd complain if I did, though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Well I am totally and irretrievably addicted to bass now. I installed my first "real" substage a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it... but I want more and better.
So right now I have a 15" TC-3000k in 3.1 sealed on a Sundown @ 1.4ohms, forward firing in my trunk.

Next paycheck I am thinking about upgrading. A couple words about the TC3k first though. It has very good tonal clarity and hits great in the 30hz range. Has decent to good authority at 20hz, but could be a lot better. It sounds pretty good tone-wise but it is a bit sluggish and muddy on drums. It is loud (I think), but not loud enough. I have never been to a comp or heard SPL setups so I can't compare how loud it really is.

Anyway I'm looking for three things in this order: Better sound quality with emphasis on very sharp accuracy, speed and control for kickdrums and electronic music, more volume, and more powerful lows in the 20hz range!

So there are 3 setups I am considering but I am also taking suggestions of course (I have about 5.5 cubes max to work with), whichever I decide on I will be adding a Sundown to strap for +/- 3500 watts:

1 x 18" LMS-5400 in about 4.5 cubes ported tuned to 22-26hz

1 x 18" TC-5200 ported OR with passive radiator box (concerned about SQ???)

2 x 12" Mag D2 ported in about 4.2 cubes tuned to 25-30hz

I was also thinking about a 15" 06 XXX but I have heard some not so great things about them, heating up, breaking boxes, etc.

Regardless of which of these I choose I will also be getting another Sundown to strap for roughly 3500 watts.

I guess my question is, which of these will do you think will suit my needs the best? It is absolutely necessary for the upgrade to have great sound quality and faster response, but I also want it to be loud as shit.

Figured I would throw this out there a good 2 weeks or so before I buy anything, to give me time to think it over and all that. Sorry for typing so much... I'm long winded, can't help it.

Thanks guys.

And this one is to companies like fi, and re;)
uh, not sure I want to get sideways with you on this one because I know what you are saying. However, I don't think that the situation here is quite as extreme as on soundbuggy. Over there it sounds like you are listening to PG's shareholders discussing PG products. And maybe PG products deserve that type treatment. I would really love to hear the Rsd. If it is nearly as good as some of the reviews make it out to be it's a dam great buy.

 
please no, lets not have a repeat of the ben milne love parade //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
