What size box for 15" TC-3000?

[mlgreen 10+ year member]

Well I ordered one of the very last TC Sounds TC-3000's last week. I did a search and still couldn't really find a recommended box size for this thing. I'm going to port it and run it off a Sundown SAZ-1500d. What size should I go with? I'm looking for a nice SQL blend. I'm thinking 4.0 after displacement tuned to 32 hz. Sound good? Any 3000 owners want to chime in?

Sorry to "hi jack", but could you find me the specs to a 10" 3k, and rms please? Thx, Vic. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

4.0ft^3 @32hz was too boomy for me. Building a new 3.5@32 now. IMO Id stay between 3-3.5

What about my old box from my single Ava setup? It's 3.2 ft^3 (after dispalcement for the 15" ava). Would this box work, or should I have bjfish build me another box along the lines of 3.5 ft^3 after displacement for my 3000?

Try 3.2. Should be pretty sweet. Cant wait to put mine in its new home.

3.2 @30hz w/ two 3" aeros... thats straight from kyle at TC

Cool, i'll give the 3.2 ft^3 box I have a try, it's tuned to 32 hz. What's the displacement for a 15" 3000 anyway?

not sure on the displacement... im sure its a good bit with that beefy ferrite motor but i dont have to worry about it since mine has a small neo proto motor (6 times stronger than the regular ferrite) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif

you think it's way bigger than my ava 15? I want my 3000 to have at least 3 ft^3 after displacement, and like I said my box is 3.2 after displacement for the ava I had in it.

if that box was after displacement then you should be fine... thorw it in and see if you like it, if not then you can go from there
