theyre all relying on AP for top parts, recones anything they need. people with motors are ****ed more or less. there will be a couple parts left, but not as many as motors out there

i did too until they jacked up their prices sky high, and sent me a is101 for a replacement for my tc10 OEM. i sent back a dvc2 and they sent me an is101 SVC4 and i couldnt use it for sh*t. and i loved my tc10 OEM, i asked them for anything other then the is101 and they said that is the best they can do so i never bought from them ever again.

critical mass is making it

i would like to see their profit margin. even then, their most expensive driver is a good grand less than tc's top driver.

yeah that sucks. I will be afraid to push my rlps now. Other companies could recone them but it would not be the same sub.

well shit, when you charge 3 grand for a speaker how the hell do you expect to make any money?
you gotta have customers to make a profit.

I disagree...

They were in trouble when they lost their biggest customers of all, the people they were OEM'ing for. Who gives a shit about the kids, and that's all they are, on the forums. Those aren't the bread-and-butter customers that are going to keep things going strong...

i was talking about retail. but ok. i dont know much about tc sounds, but i assumed they were being sold retail in authorized stores too which is where my comment came from.

Maybe once you reach a certain size this is true.

But it seems to be working out well for companies like Fi, Sundown, and IA. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Interesting. Why is AP going to be sold at Part Express if TC no longer exist?... I would not go around showing people's emails over the internet as the authenticity could be in question.

If I think back, they must have been doing he price leader crap, basically taking a loss/breaking even to get into the market place, then either shifted gears to late or got to greedy at once and lost their customer base, resulting in a much deeper hole.

Purly speculation
