DB500 and EPIC/TC1000 are pretty much the same performance-wise. The main difference is the stamped basket for the DB500 to keep it a budget driver, while it was offered.

The db500 was the best budget sub ever made. The Tc subs back then were insane

IMO the TC epic is the best subwoofer under 300 dollars and 1000 watts. TC makes incredible products

They were reasonably priced too. I remember they has a sale on 8" TC-1000's for like 89 or 99 bucks. I grabbed my 15" TC-3000 (3hp) for like $300.

I got mine for $75 each by fare the best sub for the money I have aver had thanks for the help if they are pretty much the same performance-wise I know I cant go wrong with the epic
