15" TC-1000 single 4ohm

Item(s) Description/Condition:

This is in great used condition with some light marks on the cone. A true unicorn among TC products, ultra rare and ultra SQ. Hard to find and very highly sought after driver. Dead silent suspension and awesome output capability. Thrives on very little power and easily absorbs more serious power. Check out the specs below. This is a sound-quality-first driver, meant for lower power and larger enclosures. Please don't buy this if you want something to piss pound, lol. Works well in sealed or vented enclosures.

Specs:

Fs - 15.6hz

Qts - .346

Qes - .381

Qms - 3.82

Sd - 320mm dia.

Vas - 393l

Bl - 15.01Tm

Mms - 283g

Cms - 433um/N

SPL - 87.8dB

The TC-1000 is the ideal driver for anyone looking for powerful clean bass with superb quality for either the home or mobile environment. With a standard 135 ounce magnet structure, 2" wide all aluminum 4 layer voice coil, and over 2" of highly linear excursion, this driver simply obliterates the competition. Its innate low distortion quality makes it seemly intended for high fidelity applications, but because of its high efficiency, impressive power handling and class leading displacement, the TC-1000 simply embarrasses retail SPL drivers with motors half its size! It can handle 400 watts of continuous power, but don’t be afraid to feed it 1000 clean watts as the voice coil will harness that power and deliver surprising sound pressure levels.

Advanced FEA Motor System

Double stacked 1" tall ferrite magnets and bored T-yoke for long throw

135oz top grade magnet structure

Anti-flux modulation copper shorting ring to lower distortion

Low carbon steel used for the gap plate and t-yoke

Pole vent for lower distortion and cooling capabilities.

It has two 15" PR's on the side. Would 3.5 after displacement still be too small even with two PR's tuned low?

I'm sorry, I was thinking you meant only one PR. Yes, 3.5 cubes is still on the small side but tuning low will keep it musical.
 
What kind of power and box would you recommend for this, ported box.
Ideal situation is a large enclosure with low pwer, just a few hundred watts. This keeps you well in control of the moving mass but not anywhere near thermal compression. But if you have to go on the small side you can bump the power up to 800-1000w. You'd need it for the amount of applied EQ in the smaller enclosure. It sounds pretty good both ways.
Hey, bud.
 
Yeah im lurking around a little bit. My lms8 i had for my ht setup finally died. Debating what i wanna do there.
Well, I know I don't need to explain the capabilities of the driver to you. You know what the 8" can do, lol.

 
Beautiful low distortion high(ish) output 15". Digs deeper than most of you have ever heard and gives a velvety smooth seamless transition to your front stage.

Someone out there has to be interested in sound quality!
