TC Sounds TC-3000

Would this sub be good if I want top notch SQ with very good ultra-low end extension? I'm looking to use a sealed box.

Or should I be looking at a different subwoofer?

Im thinking about the same sub but ported for the Gf explorer

I never tried it ported but im shure it would have some wicked output.

Beat the crap out of the enclosure i made for it

L.A. area.

Does it have a tight sound to it? That's what im looking for. Nothing boomy.

what area code ? ( im in la county)

That depends on the enclosure.

The one i had was a 15, it was pretty tight and definetly dipped low.

i put one in a mustang firing into the cabin in a 5cubic ft box tuned to 26 hz. it was rediculous. gets low as hell, sounds amazing, and has crazy output no matter the watts. i heard it on about 300 watts. and on an IA 20.1 at 4ohms and 1 ohm. it wanged on all of them. but when we finally put it at 1ohm it was just outright crazy. i got some crappy vids if you want to see what it does.

310, Torrance. Dunno if you know where that's at.

By pretty tight, do you mean not boomy at all?

I know where its at, to far though

The enclosure has a major role in how the sub will sound.

Put it in a large enclosure, it will be boomy, small will be tight (in general)

There are tradeoffs doing either one.

 

[blackonblacksls 10+ year member]

when you say boomy what do you mean.

 

[cleanerupper 10+ year member]

By boomy I mean a jump in the lower frequencies which makes some notes seem louder (usually the lower ones) than the other notes. Boomy = boom boom boom rather than thump thump thump

I'm looking for something with a nice flat response that can still hit the 25-35 Hz notes with ease. And obviously have a tight sound while doing it.

Eq my brother...EQ

The EQ on my Kenwood X990 only goes down to 60Hz....

supa_c can you please read my other thread and tell me what you think is wrong. Thanks

Buy an external EQ, one that fits in the dash.

As for the sub sounding weird, cant help you, never owned or will own an AA sub.
