  1. Here is the install with Kicker subs. i will update it when I get the new box built. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2350773 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds like you need to EQ the drivers a little. Get some decent measurement equipment and try to flatten out the response. I'm sure once you do that you'll have the best sounding system you have ever heard!

    We made the subwoofers for the Z3 if you got the upgraded stereo system. It was sold through sunfire, but we designed the mini sub. It was pretty bad ass. A little 5.25" active woofer with 2 passive radiators. The box was very tiny and made some pretty good bass for its size.

    Thanks for the complements, I had flash installed and I was ready to do something interesting, but then I realized every time I went to kicker.com and soundstream and mtx, I just got annoyed. I think the kicker site is very nice btw. We have wanted to release our own product line for a long time and I finally kicked Thilo in the ass and got the site done for us. We have been working non stop on projects lately and pulling all night
  5. 3/4" MDF is plenty strong enough for the walls, but you need bracing, even with 1" or more you would still need bracing and if you don't you'll lose a lot of power from your subwoofer because that energy is going into moving that box, not creating sound waves. On the baffel go with a 1.25" or more.
  6. Believe it or not, the fact that your sub is loud inside and not outside is awesome! Basically if your car resonates or vibrates anywhere, it will leak sound outside from the inside kind of like a big passive radiator. This will inherently take energy away from the inside of the car (where you listen from), to the outside of the car (where you don
  7. "dry xbl^2" as in being so clean as to not have the "warmth" that most typical drivers have from the distortion inherient in their design. personally, it wasn't so much that as that the rl-p jsut flat out dropped lower, was just as crisp and fast and almost as loud for less money. and the rl-p isn't as box picky. and tom, your right, the new XXX is SG technology, not xbl^2. if believe it's a version of sorts of LMS (they can't use LMT anymore) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, the xxx doest use our coil... at least they better not, lol.

    We have some new stuff coming out, but you'll have to wait a week or so for our new website.
  9. I dont know who owns that frame, but looks like that black one will do it. You really need to get a drawning of the basket and make sure hte spider is at least 10", it proably is based on the picture. good luck!
  10. You have a PM with my source. I sent you an email on the 14th about this as well. I have every intent on staying in good terms with TC Sounds. Please get in touch with me via email (info *at* ologyaudio.com) or preferably via AIM: OlogyAudio. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey thanks, and if you need anything for your project, let us know.
  11. Regarding the choice on 4-spoke Eclipse basket. I'm not sure who is supplying them to you, but we designed that basket in 2001 and we have a 14 year patent on it. I'll be happy to give you the patent # if you like, but the problem is that this is not a "generic" basket. We paid over $20,000 to have the tool made and we really don't like it when other people use our baskets and make it seem generic. Eclipse, one of our bigger customers and they hold a license for this basket. They are the only company by contract who gets the rights to use this basket for car audio, and we supply them. We legally can not allow anyone to use this frame, or the 6-spoke 15" and 18" for that matter. Thank you for understanding. If could please tell me who supplies you with the frame, I would greatly appreciate it. Kyle TC Sounds
  12. I'm not sure I understood all of that, but COOL! TL and m3's are you talking about acura's and BMW's?
  13. Don't bother with teh names, just kick the ass! =D
  14. We're really sorry bout that Mike, our vender got a chit storm for this. It takes over 2 months to re-order the damn things.
  15. Aint that the truth, considering that is costs about $10,000 for a well made casting tool (per driver, per size) Its no wonder why people just opt for the off the shelf 12-spoke. So for a 10, 12,15 and 18
  16. it doest matter which way you wire it, red to red, or red to black. All that matters is if you wire it in parallel or series. Also when you measure it, try not to move the cone because that will throw off the resistance measurement. My moving the coil through the magnet by hand you actually invoke current in the coil. Sort of like a reverse speaker, you
  17. You'll have to wait a few weeks and find out...
  18. Great tip wit the battery thing, we do this at work a lot. I can't believe we let that out the door, but it happens. We must soldered the terminals on the wrong side of eachother. No harm done, but the colors are backwards from your other speaker. Its easy to do because the voice coils are not color coated or anything, and neither are the spider leads so its a matter keep the red on the left and black on the right. I'm guessing in your case it was reversed? In anycase, the the red wire should goto the left ternimal adn the black to the right. MAke sure you have it like that on both subwoofers. Right now you either have it like that or reversed. If if its reversed, your subwoofers will be out of phase with your car speakers. Not a huge deal but it will cause a bit of a gap in the crossover. So double check! Again, I'm really sorry about that, we shouldnt fudge up like that period!
  19. Ya, these subs are totally underrated, I hope eclipse steps the marketing. but they have done well with everything else so I have faith.
  20. I am curious the differences between the 8200, RL-s, TC 4Hp <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rl-s is off the 3HP I think, but its pretty much its own deal. Its has the same 3" diam vc as the SW8000 and SW8200 but its a longer VC for more Bl, hence the use of the quad magnets. the TC 4HP is our high end subwoofer platform. 4"vc and 500 ounce ferrite motor very expensive. The 4hp
  21. Thoes specs are kinda skewed, but its because of the LM. I'm really not too sure. but anyway, the fs is 20hz, not 16.
  22. small sealed is ideal.
  23. A little cleaner than the SS LMT because of the surround and 1 less spider, but not quite the excursion due to shorter coil, it will still pull 3" peak to peak if you push it. Its definitely in the category of a LSQ driver and certainly is the best LSQ driver I have come across. Sounds a lot better than a 12W7, and the head to head tests I did on a klippel confirmed that.
