TC Sounds Epic 10 or JL 10W6v2?

I agree trippy. For whatever reason Silver is under the misconception that the TC sub needs some massive sealed box, I think it's because he read it's a home audio sub.

Yes - I'm familiar with Qts... But honestly you are clinging to that question over comparing the TC to the clarity of a W6 with the output of a W7. The recommendation for a larger sealed enclosure is both from the manufacture (which you recommend to be ignored) and multiple forum threads I found when doing a brief search. It's certainly possible that the TC might work in that small .8 sealed box although I doubt it. It's a moot point about how low either will play as the Lexus ML stereo has a 35hz sub crossover, and very few do a full swap due to the complexity and level of integration the stock system has. I'm not comparing the IDQ to the TC - I run an IDQ, the discussion was W6 vs the TC - I don't think the W6 is well suited for that enclosure either. Like I said several times before people end up with JL because it's the default a lot of the shops push, and most people don't know any better. You can't hate JL because they make bad products - they just charge to much for them. And I know a lot of people - probably most readers here would never own JL equipment out of principle (nothing wrong with that). The only JL product I have now is an HD900/5 which is perfect for my wife's car. I wouldn't recommend the w6 for that enclosure either... Which is why I went with an IDQ not that the IDQ is a comparable sub to the w6. It's just more suited for a small sealed enclosure, and I wasn't looking for crazy bass anymore. I've run my re xxx for 8+yrs - time for a more reasonable amount of bass
