Next you are gonna tell me that a 3hp motor is the same thing as a TC3000 motor....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

nope. not at all i know far more about these motors than you

For one, they use a different top and back plate. The 3k has a tall *** top plate and flat backplate. The 3hp had some variations but usually had 3-4 magnets, and the short top plate, with a bumped backplate. Look for some pics of 3hps and you will see the difference.

actually, the later models use the tall top and flat bottom plate they always had 3 magnets (4 is the lmt motors) oh, and lets not forget- the 3000 motor has a copper shorting ring in the motor, and a slightly different gap. i will say again- come back when you have a clue... how is it, every time i correct you, you come back with a different (even more ridiculous argument

Dude they are motors... there is no RMS rating, there is no TS specs. It two pieces of steel and two pieces of magnet.
You could build either to be a badass SPL sub, or a custom SQ ht sub. All depends on what parts you stock these with.

that part is true.

the wider the motor the more strength it has...Im sure we all appreciate the sarcasm of metal and ceramic costing a $1.00 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif . The coil has the RMS rating not the motor...The motor has nothing to do with the RMS rating of a coil..

ok...so i was asking, which one is the better performer for an spl application. is the tc3k a wider motor with more bl? or is the 3hp? thats not the deciding factor but it at least gives an idea.

if they are all motors...why bother making an LMT, 3hp, tc9? one maybe has more motor strength? dont know why you guys flipped the **** out.

and again....who said anything about rms? the only time i mentioned RMS was when i was talking about COMPLETE retail available subwoofers. so if i see a woofer thats a 4hp, rated @ 3-5kwrms....i would assume that motor design is more geared to (with the right coil) an spl application.

if anyone has a 3hp motor let me know

dude, they are all just motors, just grab an old kicker one....

can you try to answer my question?

i realize they are "just motors". never said they werent. but i dont know everything there is about these things. i USE car audio products, i dont design, or engeneer these things.

obviously the LMT motor, 3hp, and tc9, are designed for different purposes no? sure you could make it work for a particular application. but then why would you use a 3hp on a eclipse ti, and a 4hp on an eclipse ti pro? and then again, why even design the lmt motor?

am i missing something? or am i going about this the wrong way?

Motors have different characteristics. i.e. an LMT motor is taller to compensate for a longer coil which will allow for more movement. Also, the motor strength also depends on what kind of coil you use as well. Some former/coil materials will create more motor strength than others, but it is a trade off. Like copper coil/former. It will create more motor strength, but is heavier compared to Alum coil/former. Alum will create less strength, but is much lighter

If your looking for more of an SPL application, go with the tc3k and get a BL,BTL or MT recone done.
