they lost their contract with eclipse. so to make up the money from that they need to raise their prices 150% (current plus half of what they're worth so a 400 dollar driver will now be 600).

additionally they're going through some rough things with other companies.

Thats a shame. It still wouldn't stop me from buying their subs before the price increase. However after the increase, I'd probably look at Fi Audio or Elemental Designs.

HAHAHA...whatever! TC Sounds is one of the , if not the premier driver build houses in the USA. You sure you're not thinking of Adire, which just closed up shop?

TC Sounds has been adjusting and re-adjusting their pricing structure and CONSUMER product availability over the past few months due to a re-focusing of products and new management. They're certainly NOT going anywhere. Spreading rumors and bashing other companies in favor of eD is poor form.

Big deal..they "lost" the Eclipse contract (which at this point is still unverified - and IS rumor). Until you post a credible source, please stop spreading hearsay. TCSounds future isn't in jeopardy from ONE company pulling out; they're the OEM for many, many companies.

Ask eD about pulling contracts and using several build houses...

i can post up some pictures tomorrow after work, but its a simple uncarpeted box, sub & port back. so don't get your hopes high on some fabulous setup. you will be disappointed.

Have you gotten it metered?
