Is this T3 woofer worth it??

[BassAddictJ 5,000+ posts]

Found this local for cheap....

Pros:

T3 is/was made by TC Sounds, yes or no?

Coils read good enough and are the config I need (dual 2ohm)

Back of the motor is chipped but the slugs are all still aligned. No coil rubs when I press it.

Cons:

Some aesthetic blemishes.

Not sure if I have enough airspace or power (looking like 3-4cubs gross max, have 1400w rms @ 1ohm to play with)

Possible sag.

Thoughts on the price of this or specs?

Looks like the 1000. Not a bad sub..

The low lines where not made by TC. I wouldn't waste my time with it. Parts express had a buy out a few years ago and they where selling for nothing.

Any idea of rms, best box specs, or value?

I don't want to give away the price here, but it's pretty appealing.

In the first pic it looks like it has spider sag. Maybe it was a trick of the light?

Its not a t1000 the t1000 is a 2.5in coil and crappy woofer this is the older tss that is 1000wrms and 3in coil just a quick google search will pull up the t3 site with ts specs and box recommendations. 12s 2.3 cu 15s 3.1cu

closer to an atomic sub than tc sounds. parts was clearing these out for under 100 iirc. that had spider issues on the t1000. but with a nice recone def a mean subwoofer.

It did look a little more like a 3in coil. Will go back and double check. Possible spider sag. Coils were reading right at 2.0 ohms, might explain that.

This one is at $139. Might be a lot of woofer for cheap...

Edit: yup, def the tss

Man if I had to I wouldn't pay $50 for it. It's going to need a recone soon if not now
