mtx or kicker

Looking for opinions on the mtx te1501d and the mtx ta81001 Also would you go with kicker or mtx for subs around 400 each.

On another note, what subs would you get for 400 a piece that are sq.

Diamond D6.

How about for $316 a PAIR, SHIPPED?!?!? That'll leave you $484 for installation, wire, parts, damping, and maybe a little bit of an upgrade to your amplifier!

The TCSounds drivers are FANTASTIC sound quality woofers, AND will play loud! Check the TC1000 line, VERY inexpensive for the performance, I rate the bang-for-the-buck around 11, on a scale of one to ten!

I rave about these drivers so much, because they truly ARE fantastic drivers for the money. They work well in small sealed and medium (DEEP tuned) vented enclosures. They are worth looking into!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

How do i get these. And how would they perform on my mtx thunder elite 1501d? i forgot to mention that my box will be sealed.

I found there site but they are out of stock. Also there specs are confusing. One place on the product page will say 650 rms, and another will stay250-1000 rms.

Listen to Haemphyst on those tc-1000's.  I was a little skeptical at first but figured I'd give it a try (single 10" for me) and there's no doubt about it--it is a fantastic subwoofer.  Granted I haven't heard a JL W7 in action but I have heard numerous kicker, mtx, audiobahn, soundstream, alpine, and rockford subs and in terms of sound quality the tc-1000 is by far better than all of the aforementioned (better in every meaningul SQ way; it plays cleaner, smoother, deeper and with greater detail and accuracy).  If you're looking for SQ you really can't go wrong with these subs.  And since the reccomended RMS wattage is 400 watts--your amp would be perfect for two 4 ohm single-voice-coil 10's. 

I'm not doubting the sub, if there's anyone opinions i value it's his. I want to know from him how this amp will work with these subs.

Where did you see the TC 1000's out of stock? All sizes and svc and dvc are in stock on their website.

That amp will be just fine. Get the SVC 4 ohm versions, wire them in parallel, you'll be right in the ballpark... 400 is what they recommend to be safe, (and quite honestly where I would START with the power band) but I have seen 600 watt amplifiers HARD clip into them an they'll take it all... 1kW is NOT out of the realm of possibilites, but enclosure at those power levels becomes paramount.

I don't know if you were able to find the website, but here it is, direct to the 1000 page. Try em, you'll love em!

What do you think about the tc-2000 12's, in a sealed 1.2cu enclosure.

Replaceable Top Assemblies:

Top assemblies are replacements for damaged drivers. All of our new drivers have detachable top assemblies. In the case of damage, they can be easily replaced in a matter of just minutes. All of our assemblies come fully assembled and ready to install onto existing motors. Our assemblies are strictly for our own products and can not be used on any of our OEM products or products other than the specific drivers they are designed to be used for because they physically will not install. If you have an older TC Sounds driver and you would like to have it repaired, please contact us and arrange for shipping. We can repair any of our older drivers if and only if we originally built them, and we will be more than happy to give you a quote. For warranty information pertaining to damaged TC Sounds drivers that may require a new top assembly or otherwise, please read our warranty process for information and procedure.

For one, or two of them? Not enough additional "bang for the buck" in my book, especially considering the power you have on hand. A better match, for the power avaialble is definitely the 1000's. If you had twice the amp, I'd definitely say go for it, but...

I see what you mean, twice the money. The 1000's are a go.
