That AA V2 is ugly as hell in my opinion. Obviously performance is more important than looks though.

I came across the post from the owner earlier and can't find it again for the life of me. Something of the nature he purchased 50 of them last year, and that although

Scott "may" get a %, so does the person who tools the basket.

Tantric is owned by the owner of TC (to the best of my knowledge), and no, they are not allowed to be using that basket.

**Again, this information is to the best of my knowledge and is no way an absolute fact.**

Here is a direct comparison of the ZCON Motor (on the left) vs the EVIL Motor (on the right)

Both models are 15" Versions

Tantric sounds is tantric sounds, period. They oem for other manufactures too. They're built about an hour away from me. The owner is responsible for some of the beastly subs made, the first gen SS xxx and the first gen TSNS are two many drives he's designed. From what I know, they're in the process of tooling their own baskets soon. But I highly doubt the owner of the patent or tooling is going to do anything....

Not really fair to compare those subs though lol. Price wise per performance don't have a chance against the SHD

Anyone else think it's weird the Tantrics just magically handle more power then all these other companies?

They are 10" slugs, SP4's are 8.4".

What sub is that?

You are correct, the owner is in the process of tooling his own baskets. And who said anything about comparing?

Anyone else think it's weird the Tantrics just magically handle more power then all these other companies?

They don't "magically" handle more, the Level 6m2 is rated at 4500, and the SMDv2 is rated at 5000 as well, it is not uncommon for subs to handle this much power daily. Hell, even my zcon can even though its not rated to.

From the owner:

yes we use the ti frame because I owned over 500 of them when I opened the company last year and they were bought before scott atwell bought the appearance patent..if he wants to come after me he can but it will just be a heartbreaker for him and there has been no companies put out of business by scott or aa as worse case scenario would be whatever company would have to pay a small amount of profit from speakers sold with that basket and only if scott could come up with the funds to sue said company as he would have to sue all 7 companies currently using the basket here in the states. the real kicker is that Jonathon Demuth owns 73% of the frigin tooling so for every basket bought he gets a frigin percentage of the profits....killin us all from the backside..so appearance patant for the 15 and 18 owned by scott atwel....appearance patent for the 10 and 12 owned by thilo stomper and the real money being made by the guy that bought the tooling....im in the process of tooling all new baskets so I can bypass all this mess...lol...
