TC3000, TC2000, SDX, or RLP 15" for HT sub

[bamaboy]

well thinking of replacing my tc2000 12 sonosub, just not the lowend i was wanting, but i think its a problem with room or box, im going to keep messing with it to see what i can do to fix it
but ive been wanting to do a 15 anyway, so

found a decent deal on a used RLP15 and a new Tc3000 15, both D2

amp is a ep2500

im limited space wise, so nothing like a 10cube box or anything
i mainly use it for movies, but lately ive been listening to some music on it too

im hoping to try 6-8cubes around 17hz tuning, maybe 19-20hz, i dont know if i care about the super low notes too much, never really heard/felt it so dont know what im missing

just trying to see whats a good option, im leaning toward one of the tc 15s just cause i like the look of them, especially the black cone and surround, but i havnt seen much on tc3000s for HT which i found a decent deal on one

thanks for any help guys

The best option for getting lots of lowend output from a smallish box is passive radiators, eg our new FW15.3 with the SDX15 and dual 18" passives, is 24" cubed. Could go a little smaller but would move the tuneing up. The 15" TC3000 would work in exactly the same setup. I will be measuring the tuneing frequency today. I will also be testing it with a TC3000/Adiopulse Axis, in the next few days.

Here is a pic the the unfinished prototype.

for low end in small enclosure funky waves is right, passive radiators work great if you can afford it. Another option you should consider if your not terribly concerned with low end is doing a sealed tc3000. This has been used by many with space restrictions. The ep2500 sweetens the deal because the tc3000 can handle tons of power especially sealed.

man that is exactly what I will do anytime soon, care to share how it sounds, good transient response, etc?
