TC-3000 Vs LMS-4000

[Astyl 10+ year member]

Alright, Which One should i pick? i cant decide! Basically im a big bass head and i want some serious punch in my system. So basically i was thinking of one of these two options, because they are both the same price

a 15" TC-3000

Or

A 12" LMS-4000

Which one should i do up? Im more SPL Oriented, but i always like those serious, serious lows and some SQ. I know the LMS-4000 Is pretty much "the ultimate" SQ speaker.. but is it loud? Or should i get a TC-3000 for output and forget about it

people say the lms does the lows like nothing else but the tc-3000 has more spl. i would go tc-3000

Yeah i heard about the lows and the LMS.. I read a article on the LMS-4000 and supposidly they metered it playing a 20 hz tone and it measured 6 db higher @ 20 hz then any other sub out there

I'd go with the TC-3000....Or wait till the TC-4100. The TC-4000 is very inefficient...very.

Hey as long as i can beat this guy around my neighborhood that has a chevy blazer with two 12" JL W3V2's in a sealed box powered by a single JL 500/1, ill be alright //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would say go with the TC-3000, Its definitely louder than the 4000, but if SQL is your goal, a pair of LMS-4000's will embarrass pretty much anything, even home theater subs.

The 4100 is going to best the TC-3000 (as will the LMS-5400) for output and maintain that great linear quality. It’s a very expensive driver with a dual titanium former bifilar wound coil and a very big piece of neodymium in the motor with a lot of steel. The 10” costs more to manufacture than most all ceramic18’s drivers. We’re going to try to keep the prices reasonable for you guys, its easy when its direct.

thx

Why dont you set a higher benchmark... Then beating him... Besides a type r would be that... lol... or two for that matter. W3 are not power houses, yes they get loud when pushed but you destroy them in doing so, god knows i did.
