Onyx LS10 by TC Sounds

Does anyone have any relations with this sub? I found one and might buy it. From what I read they are really good for SQ purposes. Just wanted to see if anyone has had a first hand experience with them.

If someone is having relations with a sub, I'd say they need to find a woman (or man) fast.

I know who designed it. Solid SQ sub. No personal experience though. I have hear a pair before.

Although I am not a huge fan of TC. I am very confident in the designer. Are you thinking about buying this sub?

i did a quick google of the sub. it looks like the TC2 motor used on a lot of subs (like the SS RL-i series). i think you'll be quite pleased with the sub, although i don't have any personal experience with that particular one.

well someone is selling 2 for around 230 shipped and it sounds like a really good deal...I only want one though because they are rated at 1000rms each.

yes they are...good looking but the only thing i'm kinda worried about are those videos he shows. It looks like he hammers those subs to death. Besides that I would get them and probably recone them in the future. What do you think filter? It would be good for the all florida audio meet...

The other problem is, I dont need both of them because 2000rms is WAY too much for me. I am even debating 1000rms. I am not a SPL guy, I am more SQ. I am debating between the flatline and the onyx. Anyone want to buy one of the onyx's if i buy them both? It would come out to be like $115 shipped for a 1000rms SQ sub...

you don't HAVE to give a sub 1000 watts to make it sound good...

If I were you, and this is just my opinion. Since your into SQ more than SPL. Get a new Fi Q 12". $250 shipped with warranty. It will suit your needs as well as fit your budget. If you need any help with ordering or recommendations for an amp or box size just let me know.

We will be having an audio meet soon where you will be able to demo all four lines if you wanted to wait to make a decision.

How can anybody not be a TC fan? I admit, there's been a bit of a boner lately on some other audio forums, but TC by all means deserves the fanbase.

I don't know much about the Onyx but the TC2 and TC2+ are two different motors...RL-I's using the latter (which is better might I add)

I have just never been uber impressed with any of their offerings. Nor do I know anyone who has had experience with them. I am sure they make quality products. Just not my bag.

I ran their RL-i10 for a while, that little thing was no slouch in the SQ and output department. Good bang for the buck.
