3hp is no slouch. Really even the TC9 still holds up well for a 1000-1200W platform.
I love the TC9 platform. Honestly one of my favorite offerings from any builder. Realistically, I could have settled with something 3HP based for my build. But I've learned I like high motor force, low Fs, and underhung woofers. I made some compromises to run the 5100s, but it's going to be worth it.
