Tc sounds 3000 vs audio pulse axis

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

Ok so I've yet to get a straight answer on this, but what is the difference between the dual 2 voice coil tc 3000 and the audiopulse axis? They have the same motor, and what appears to be the same flat wound 8 layer 3" coil.

I own both and can't tell a single difference besides the name on the cone. I read somewhere though that the t/s specs on them are different. Does anyone know this for sure?

no real difference....i can ask my connects but im sure there is no difference

See that's what I think, but the tc 3000 has a bl of 22.7 and qts of .407(according to one source) and the axis had 26.x and .357 respectively. So this makes me think the gap is tighter, or coil is different, or something with the shorting ring.

I would say that the coil or gap is slightly different.

bump for any more details? i've got 3 of each version and want to run 4, but it looks like i cant get away with mixing and matching.

They are not even close to being the same, The AP axis is a much better built driver then the 3k

 

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

In what ways? And they are pretty **** close to being identical lol

Bump on this? Cmon where are all my fellow tc nut huggers?!

if you want run them ...the only way i would think is a chamber for each

 

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

Box I'm getting is single chambered. Hopefully I can run my lone 3000 with the other 3 axis woofers

I wouldn't do it since the lone 3k will act a little differently in the same enclosure...it'll more than likely reach mechanical limits at a different time, have different group delay due to the different inductance between the two subs.

Thanks ram, that's what I was looking for. They are just SO similar it's hard to believe they wouldn't work together
