TC Sound 3000 specs?

With that much power he would be better off with some tc9s *laughs*

2ft^3@30hz works out well. They are super inefficient as Tuan said, so a larger box with a little more port area should make it more efficient.

I was thinking, would work great in a home tuned to 20hz!

It's only one sub.

How about 2.2cu/ft tuned to 30hz?

I know the specs say 20hz but raising the tuning would make it peak higher, where would it peak?

They do like smaller boxes. I had the original quad 2ohm TC3K's and tried a single 15 in 4ft^3 tuned to 32hz...it like 3ft^3 tuned to 30hz much better. Inductance is a pain though, transients just sucked.

I'm stepping down to 1.8cu/ft tuned to 31hz.

Damn, looks like more airspace = louder/efficient doesn't apply to this sub.

It didn't work well in the 4cf box probably because you're compression is improper. 3.0 is way too small for it and like you said: high transient response.

I have mine in a 2.25 cubic foot box tuned to 32hz.
