TC Sounds Subs

[Fyler 10+ year member]

What is the difference between single and dual voice coils? Also, I'm looking into picking up a pair of TC Sounds TC-1000s or DB-500s. Does anyone recommend these? They're going to replace my JL 12W0s that are blown to smithereens. Thanks!

some subs have 1 voice coil, some 2, some 4. it refers to the how many sets of coils are being used. singles have 1, duals have 2, quads have 4. it ussuall all comes down to haveing flexibility with your wiring options. with dual and quad voice coils, u can wire each sub up to a few differant impedience loads than if you had a single oice coil where youd be stuck at that one given load that that single voice coil reads.

only thing is you HAVE to have powe ron all the coils, cant power just 1 of the 2 or 4 coils, if one isnt getting equal power itll **** the sub up, and quickly too...

in the end, its mostly imp load flexibility so u can match ur subs to ur amps better

I pair of 1000's or db500's would demolish the W0's in output, given you do a good install. TC2+ is the motor that is used on the 1000 and db500, and some other subs as well, such as the SoundSplinter RLi.

well the box I have is a 4 ohm single channel, and I wanna keep it that way, unless someone thinks otherwise, my amp is a Soundstream Picasso 880.2, bridged. So would i be okay keeping the box single channel 4 ohm? Or should I rewire it? It's a JL PowerWedge if anyone is wondering. Well my install is flawless, at least I think so, just got done upgrading the big 3 last night. The DB-500s are only $110/pc, so I mean, for the price, you can't beat it! My W0s are like junk lol.

take my advice, he is dealer and can hook you up cheaper then tc

So he'd just give me the motor and nothing else? Lol what do I do about the rest of the sub?
