What power will you be pushing them with? I would recommend if you are using 2 subs to get 3-3.5 cubes (1.5-1.75ea). Subs landed in NY today, then to NC then to customers! Finally!!

Would this box work for the sub? It's 2cf tuned to 35hz, if not let me know what would work. I don't have any ported box experience, so I'm not familiar with figuring a box, I like the size of this box though because I need to be no more than 14 inches tall to fit in my trunk. Also I really like the lows, I want this sub to reproduce low 30's with authority, would that mean that we need to tune a little lower or is 35-36 the sweet spot for this sub. I just don't want it to fall of before 30hz if that makes sense. 2@35hz

Thanks Kevin, I can't wait, please use a slot port design as it will be the easiest to build. I will review the speaker once I get it and get a chance to break it in properly Also I don't see the xmax listed on the driver, what can we expect in milimeters of xmax?

Give us the perfect ported box build sheet with a slot port and no more than 14 inches in height. I want to get it built before the sub arrives, also have a crossfire bmf1000d to power this bad boy, can't wait.

When can we expect to see this sub to our doors if we preordered?

We have an mj in the family and I think it is very musical, granted it is the original not the mjm. It does get really loud, brother replaced it with a wmd18 and the wmd gets quite a bit louder but not on the lowest of the notes. The mj is on garage system duty now, and rattles half of the house on a 500w plate amp, haha

It will be nice to have coil options in the future, especially for people that are wanting to use the IXL series with their 2ohm stable amps.

Mark or anybody that can answer, I have an mj18 that recently got a hole knocked in the surround and the dust cap crushed in, the speaker still sounds good but I would like to fix these issues if possible. Can I resurround the mj and put a new dustcap on it? How much for the parts, we have resurrounded speakers before just not the MJ. Thanks!

I have a tc1000 12 in my car, and I built a tc1000 15 for a home setup. I believe they are now called the epic line, somebody correct if I'm wrong about the new name. I will have to say first about the 12, I have it in a 2.2cf sealed box powered by a buttkicker silent subwoofer amp 800x1@2ohm (400rms). It sounds incredible, it really digs deep, and does well on all types of music. One time when TC was still in business, they ran an awesome sale, we picked up the 15 for like 149.00. It is in a 10cf sealed box, powered with a 300w bash and it has usable response down to 12hz. It you can find somebody selling any of the tc subs, pick one or 2 up you will not be disappointed. Honestly, for the money the best subs I have ever owned, much better than any of the previous JL overpriced stuff that i had years ago, although I do still wish I had my old Soundstream reference 500. I really like the tc 10 oem that they did, I have seen some of those for sale recently, and almost pulled the tiger eventhough I don't need them.

Mark, Do we know when the PR's will be available? At least a ball park, possibly a ballpark of price

Now I'm going to ask a really dumb question, so here we go, can I use this new PR with a sealed box?

Thanks for the info Mark, I had another thought, do you have passive radiators of the MJ that might be a better solution for a few extra DB's. Also we could give the MJ like 600-700watts instead of the 400rms it gets now. I wish he just had the cf for 2 MJ's then I could just run the amp 2ohm and be good, but that its an option. If you don't have an PR's do you know something that would work well for the MJ? Thanks for all the help.

I know we could just leave the amp at 2ohm and run the ixl in series but would it get louder than the mj18 in the same box with the same power?

Hey guys, I have a brother that I installed an mj18 with a buttkicker silent subwoofer amp for almost 2 years ago. It has been great for him but now he is ready to upgrade, currently since the mj18 is 4ohm the amp is running 4ohm. What I would like to do is keep the amp, and 3.6-3.8cf box and replace the mj18 with an ixl18, but I realize its a 2+2voicecoil config. So the buttkicker is 2ohm stable, but I have read that if an amp is 2ohm stable then it will be 1ohm stable as well is there any truth to this? Also the box is sealed, and I wondered how the ixl would do in the sealed box at 3.6cf. We really like the price point for what the ixl can do. The only other option I have is I have another buttkicker amp, could I just put 1amp per 1coil? I don't have any experience in doing that, so that is why I'm asking. If there is another 2ohm 18, that is in the around 300.00 price range, and sounds great let me know. Thanks for the help
