IMO, they are nothing more than what i would call a 'well built' box. Anyone w/ some box building expirience can build a box that is just as good. They are nice boxes, but a good box builder can build just as good a box.
I have seen their prices for a 2 12" box range from $300-$375. (1 15" was ~$300)
you have, hmmmm they talk about them on other forums like their gods gift to subwoofer enclousers, i allways thought they were good, and my frind has them and they are awsome, but i would rather spend $50 and build my own than spend $300+ for some "super" box.LOL
yea...if you know how to build a good box, you can build one just as good as a TCAB for $50. (literally)
in all their videos on the site they show subs doing 150's and people are amazed by that...but in reality those subs are seeing alot of power and the boxes are peaking near the vehicles resonance freq.
for example, the vid w/ the type-r 15" doing 150.7dB...that sub is on a hifonics colossus seing ~1500w after box rise. Dont get me wrong...thats a dam nice #, but when u see that the sub is actually seeing 1500w!!!...that puts things in perspective. (also, you have to realize that just becuase you have an amp CAN produce 1500wrms @ 1ohm doesnt mean your amp will actually give the sub that much power...you have to take into account the box rise)
i know quite a few people doing 150+ w/ ~900w on burp! (ex: laycan lobel---151.6db...2 SX12's wired to .175ohm DCR on a power acoustik PA3000db!)
yes, TCAB boxes are pretty nice...but they are not gods gift to car audio.
hey marshall just got done rebuilting that box for the 10 sx i rebuild that box 3 times from single 12 with 2 4inch pvc ports 2 single 12 with a slot port an now its been rebuild again for 1 10 sx 3x11.5x29 port tuned around 32hz ho0kd it up 2 my house system with about 150w @ 4ohms an it sounds great an clean as h3ll my boi just orderd the re 12.1 an iam goin 2 test it out in the fire bird when it comes its goin 2 b sick lol
i no right u think thats big check this 1 out i made for my friend its big enough 2 fit 2 10 sx in it 1st 1 is the rebuilt 1 its kinda sh1ty but pounds
firing back is definatly louder, my delema is that i can only fit a box that is 16.25"h x 31" wide x 23" deep if i am going to fire it back. i dont know how else i could fit a bigger box unless i build it in the trunk, and i dont really know how to go about doing that
what if i fired the ports straight back
or could i just make the face where the sub goes 16 or 17" tthen have it drop off so it will fit in my trunk?
I have my R's fireing up right now because I let a friend cut the pieces so of corse its not the right height I wanted the whole box height to be 17' and it is 19.5" so it doesnt fit right in my trunk. Altough I had them rear fireing before But I couldnt get to my amp and it sounded really good but they were not tucked away and I hated not being able to tweak my amp.
I am hopefuly going to get a chance to build this box this weekend. I am not going to install it untill I get everything perfect though.I dont even have my current Sealed box carpeted.
Hopefully ports will give me a little deeper bass.
