cure the dry sound two ways: add wood blocks to decrease the internal volume or shape with EQ...the latter being the better way to go...not hard to eq some midbass into the alignment...AYK, the tc3k already sports a 3dB sens advantage over the Tumult...add 3 dB more (rms x 2) and it becomes less of contest...spl wise anyways...on one hand, you have the distortion advantage of the xbl^2 coil...but on the other hand you have a driver that won't have to move as far to produce the same spl...and won't compress as easily...so there's some mitigation here...i too would be concerned for the Tumult in a box that large...it's .75 cubic foot larger than my old Tumult box...that spider/tinsel apparatus seems not to like a big box...the Tumult is at home around 3ft3 and powered up the wazoo...Bosso would tell you this all day long...i think the Rhythmik is using a version of the TC1000 from tc sounds, so it won't hold up in that box size either...

the tc3000 is just a magnificent driver for sealed applications, large or small...very flexible...just keep adding drivers...i'm up to three now...i guess i'll eventually end up with four...two 2x15's in anything south of 2000ft3 would give all you could handle in VLF ...unless you're looking to dig up 5 Hz...the 3x15 is absolutely gut wrenching...@ 3.5 meters: 109 dB @ 10 Hz (10% THD) ...most pristine 10 Hz sine i've heard/felt yet...

Thanks a lot for that Guess I should order up another while they're still on sale
