TC Sounds Motor's

If magnets had the same charge, Q shifts should be minimal, and I'd like to point out that the LMT from the RL-s line has a tc9 top-plate and a qts over 1.00 lol. My Old school TC3LM 4K's have the exact same Q as my tc9 lms drivers

The reason I chose to compare the SW8000 and the LMS4000 is the coil, it's exactly the same between the two. The same can't be said for the LM10D2. Coil and soft parts are the same on the 10" SW8000 and the 10" LMS4000, only difference is the motor. Gaps and top plates are the same between the two motors, the SW is a TC9 and the LMS is a 3LM. Q is much higher on the SW8000.
The LM10D2 uses a TC9 but it has more coil density as the Mms will show when compared the the LMS4000. Compliance on the LM10D2 shows this as well, it's stiffer to counteract the added mass. It's also got a higher BL product, again more coil. Can't really compare the two in that regard. Different beasts. More like the new offerings than it is the LMS4000.

If the lms4K gen 2 wasnt in my scion I'd get pics of the top's beside one another and some micrometer measures of WW, Coil ID/OD and Gap's. I'll try to get them from my 3LM and SW8K and LM10d2 asap.

glad you posted this...i will be using this sub for my set up soon

2.2 sealed is awfully nice when fully stuffed and near golden ratio!!! lol.

fully stuffed?? 2.2?? darn i was gonna use .7 lol

the original manual thing on the box said 1.0 max sealed.

Manuals??? people use those fraudulent listings still lol.

lol it was on sonixelectronics.. and yes i believe it cuz i dont wanna break anything..what do you mean fully stuffed?

3/4-1lb acoustuff or polyfill per cube.

That's the Qes I was expecting to see with a TC9. A bit different than the .6362 on the LMS4000 with the 3LM. I know you could take a TC9 and a 3LM and give them the same amount of charge, I realize that. But I do believe the whole point of the extra slugs in the 3LM was to add B so as to bring Q down, though, and not to allow for more stroke. You can get the full 3.5" stroke from a TC9 with 1" slugs, I've demonstrated that over and over. Anyway, not huge deal. They all sound phenomenal when implemented correctly. They love their airspace, lol.

oh lol that stuff!!! lol...gahh youre making me spend a lot of money lol! you do know this is going in a car right!?

You can get a bag of 16 ounces at Walmart for $2.97+ tax.

This.

lol it was on sonixelectronics.. and yes i believe it cuz i dont wanna break anything..what do you mean fully stuffed?

Phill has this pretty much down to a science considering he pulls actual tsps and graphs them.

I'd definitely wouldn't trust what sonicelectronics "suggests" but that's just me lol.

It's all up to you but i'd atleast give it a try and see how it turns out.. if you don't like the performance than switch things up.

In case anyone is doubting this... Both use the TC9.
