There's talk of this driver upstaging the Adire drivers. Looks pretty mean.

Doesn't TC Sounds manufacture the drivers used in SVS's subs?

I think this is the first time consumers can actually order their drivers from them directly. Their website used to look much different and their driver list was different. The specs look nice, except for that 82db spl on the LMS-4000, it'll require gobs of power to reach over 110db.

Wow, I thought my Dayton 12" Reference High Fidelity woofer was a beast. That thing is ridiculous, reminds me of the MTX Thunderbird 9500 (or whatever the 50 pounder was).

 

[Hi Ho]

I wonder how it compares to the Alliance 18".

They used to, but I'm pretty sure they no longer manufacture SVS's drivers.

These look pretty sweet though
