The TF1's are using the same motor eh?
I wouldn't mind checking one out sometime.
Can't be what I paid for them though.

I wish, my son pounds on that drum all the time.
I wondered how long it was going to take for someone to notice the toys in the background.
Boys and their toys.

godzilla1978 10-23-2009 12:47 PM

I've got a box!

Type-X 10-24-2009 04:30 AM

Very nice stuff, gotta love it when Fed-Ex bring toys straight to your house.

you seem to think everything relates to the TFone... why not say AQ's HDC3, why not the American bass HD series, why not the other bunch of 3 magnet motor structures out there

myx_maniac 10-24-2009 12:17 PM

HMmmmmmmm welll if they don't work you can always pay somebody to sit in the back with that drum and hit the bass notes with the song :P

ShockingCanada 10-24-2009 02:12 PM

motor looks like the TFone too bad they use garbage cones and probobly garbage spiders as well.

DaVibe 10-24-2009 02:20 PM

I like the "Dropped Off" concept ... aka, you paid and they shipped?
LOL this isn't Christmas! :smokin:

i'd take that sundown audio woofer over a tfone anyday

Weman 10-25-2009 12:26 AM

Nice socks, how much for them?

Really? I would take JL AUIDO, then SunDown then TFOne. :)

That is obviously based on personal preferance not on which woofer is better. The cone (and likely spiders and coil) on the TFone are far far higher quality, those cones on the sundown have some serious issues not only with the cone itself but also the longevity of the surround. Trust me I have had many woofers with those cones, they are fine but as soon as you put power to them either the cone will fold or the surround will start tearing (most likely the surround) and no that isn't with anywhere close to the power I can put on a TFone just fine

ShockingCanada 10-25-2009 11:24 AM

also to each their own but I would never own another set of high power subs with push terminals again. Push terminals are a huge pain in the butt unless you are using like 12-14awg wire.

i'd love for you to post this on the SSA forums to the americans running 3x the rms to their sundowns with no problems

id like to know how you came to this conclusion? I wouldnt pass judgement on an "spl" woofer til ive maxxed out its potential in my "spl build"

there are subs more suited to daily use than tf one, and nobody seriouse into sq would use an spl woofer to achieve tonal balance in the lower octave.

did you max out the potential of this woofer in your build? i doubt it, my subs seen more than 10k watts, jesse's subs see nearly 8k, and Yuli won North American finals in st.B with his. Are they the best sub out there? NO, but they do well for all of us who use them for spl.

I will tell anyone that those are crappy cone because they simply are. If I had to guess they probobly also use crappy spiders just because of the choice of cones. I would love to know how many spiders they use, likely its two or 4, if there were more I would be impressed but likely there are 2 or 4 meaning unlike the TFones these will fatigue quickly with SPL and you will start losing SPL rapidly just like people are who use the American Bass VFLs for SPL which likely are using the same spiders which fatigue quickly...same cone as these, took me about three burps to rip a 4" piece off of the surround...

Not saying TFones are the best, not saying there aren't other woofers that are very similar to TFones which are also awesome, not saying anything like that but I can not see any way in which I would consider these superior to a TFone and likely the price is similar.

ShockingCanada 10-25-2009 05:56 PM

I did think of something actually. THe dustcap on the sundown looks way sweeter due to a nicer sticker than the TFone...Yuli needs to get some better graphic design on his dustcaps

ShockingCanada 10-25-2009 06:02 PM

just was on termpro and guess what I saw in the first post I read

Frankenwoofer vs. Stetsom 14k 18v version

same cone and surrounds and an unsurprising sight...tape over the surround trying to cover a tear or hole

thump09 10-27-2009 12:24 AM

damn that set up looks good

Yes that car has had alot of surround problems with the woofers in there now... I seen it in action on sunday and he had another surround fail. I dont know if its from the low quality parts or the fact they are getting a true 4k each from the 14k and its a box tuned in the mid 40's thats built for and plays music tho lol :)

Do I sense a little hatred on Mikey? I'm almost positive that you had maybe 1 or even 2 tf 1's??? That little mono amp was pushing it wasn't it?lol

What would be your reason for doing so? Also I'm still waiting for my team JL stickers as well as my JL sponsorship.lol:smokin:

stephenfleming 10-27-2009 11:45 PM

I'm curious to know how my thread has turned into a who's ish is better than who's?
I mean really.

I'll get what I want

I enjoyed it!! lol

I suppose people are very passionate about their systems and the teams they represent. Cant wait to see the finished product on your build though. Nice equipment. :smilie_da

TEAM JL AUDIO is still in effect lol.

Listen, i'm not gonna try and start no beef, i'm just pulling yulis leg. My AQ/TFone was great for what it was used for.

I Just would rather use a nightshade over a tfone... and its just my personal opinion. Is what i say the final word? No, most definatly not.

PS... i'm building a TFone Killah for next season
