Please Give Me The Scoop On The TC Sounds TC-3000 15"

F3 of 40 Hz is excellent. About as low as any production sub goes, that I know of, is an F3 of 30Hz sealed. Actually... Dayton doesn't make the Titanic 1200 anymore and the Sonicraft SC-1250 seems to be gone... so maybe there aren't any that do 30 hz anymore.
But yah, 40 Hz is great sealed. It'll drop hard. And no, it won't hurt the top end //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh, thats good to know.

See, i thought that if it is only 3db down at 40hz + cabin gain boost at low frequencies, it would make it have a sound similar to a ported setup, where the lowend is significantly louder than the upper bass.

Also i noticed in WinISD that if you go ported with that sub, and tune ANY higher than about 22-23hz, your gonna have a HUGE peak in bass response. If you port it @30hz, you get a 6db spike, lol. I dont think its just WinISD either, bcuz TC Sounds forum says the same thing. They talk about people tuning to like 30-32hz and getting a 10db peak. That is HUGE, lol. They strongly recommended against porting it that "high".

Im going sealed though so it doesnt matter to me. 30mm xmax and good cone area should make for some pretty incredible displacement capabilities.. Plus it looks sexy to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanx for your replies guyz:fro:

I've got two TC2000's sealed and they sound great. Best of luck with the TC3k.

I was going to sell my tc2ks and get a few of their 15's but their price increase has really turned me off their subs. I'm mainly a SPL guy (ironic with having the tc2000's) but I cant see their drivers being the best spl for the buck drivers with the new price increase.

I talked with Heather Robinson at TC Sounds earlier today, i know tha deal. She told me that they will see if they will make a DVC model for me before they quit making them, which will take 2 weeks due to alot of orders. She took my name and email and said that in 2 weeks if prices have gone up i can still get it at the current pricing. And she agreed that if they didnt make a DVC for me, that i can still get a QVC model at that time for the current pricing, which is $385. So I'm straight.

Thanx for telling me though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
