tc sounds epic 10 on 1000rms?

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

Hey guys I'm looking at getting a tc sounds epic 10 for my solid audio f11. Will this be OK to give that sub 1000rms? I'm looking for a budget system and was thinking a single 10 to save room. Its already tight as it is. Other sub choices are welcomed.

Shouldn't have a problem with it as long as its clean power and you set your gains correctly. I assume its going in a sealed enclosure?

Most likely yes but it depends on the recommended size for ported. I was also looking at a skar or an sa but I figured the tc would have better sq and could also put out some power.

Don't do it. You will fry it. The most I'd put to this is 600-700 watts rms and thats all you'll really need to be honest. Its a 2" copper coil the power handling isn't all that great but the efficiency and absolute monstous low frequency output makes up for it so needless to say a good 600-700 watts rms will get it to full excursion. 1000 watts rms will cause that sub to bottom out I know from experience keep in mind this thing has only 1 8" soft spider so it moves with very little input power.

****. Well it ***** they don't have a dvc 4 ohm. My amp will only put out ~500 at 4 ohms I believe.

 

[basshead442]

What amp do you have? Just wire to 1 ohm and set gains accordingly.

Solid audio f11

Wire to 1 ohm and set gains a hair below 1/2.

Yea don't worry about the power just make sure the sub isn't getting beat to death. If you go sealed you wont have to worry as much about over excursion so that's good. It will take a clean 1k just make sure you set the gains with a dmm

1000 clamped watts will fry that sub or bottom it out to death. Set gains properly and you'll be fine I also suggest a sealed enclosure for better power handling.

Would I be better off going with a skar or sa?

Would I be better off going with a skar or sa?

For better power handling and output on the mid to upper frequencies yes you would be. As for the Epic it would get lower and sound better atleast it has from my experience.

Not trying to hijack but has anyone ever compared the TC Sounds Epic's to the Dayton HO's or maybe even SA, in terms of sound quality ?

 

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

From what I'm told, the tc sounds and Dayton are great sq subs. Sa is geared towards output.
