Hope I am not breaking any forum rules here (if so, then mods please delete), but craigsub's new company seems to be introducing some sealed subs at attractive price points for their size/specs. Some of you may have already been following these developments at the TCA forum. I don't have any interest in that company and I don't even know craig, but this was news to me and I thought other forum friends may appreciate the info.
With these new TCA subs, the new epik empire, ED's a7s-650 and the seaton sound submersive, there seems nowadays to be many high performance choices out there for us folks looking for commercial sealed sub solutions.
That dual 10 really seems interesting for such a small package, or even two of them.

A. Specifications common to all TCA Subwoofers:
1. Construction is Baltic Birch.
2. Drivers made in USA.
3. Amps made in USA.
4. Enclosures made in USA.
5. Finishes in Matte Black or Matte White.
6. Nomenclature will tell about subwoofer : CS is short for Craigsub, the first number is driver size, the second number is number of drivers.
7. Posted numbers as specs are also as tested numbers, including amp power.
8. All TCA subwoofers are designed to be within the 1/8 wavlength distance from the corner boundary, which will allow for a theoretical boundary gain of 18 dB. Of course, most of us don't have 3 foot thick concrete walls and floors, so typical boundary gain will be 9-15 dB.
B: CS-10.2 Subwoofer System
1. The CS-10.2 will have a response curve of +/- 3 dB from 25 to 200 Hz. The response curve is deliberately going to roll off at 12 dB per octave below 25 Hz to match the room gain of the intended room for a subwoofer in its size and price category.
2. The CS-10.2 will be 26H x 14W x 12D.
3. The CS-10.2 will have opposing baffle drivers, making for an elegant look for one's room. The Baffle facing the room will be a flat panel of finished wood.
4. The CS-10.2 will have an amp rating of 200 Watts rms and 300 watts peak.
5. The CS-10.2 will deliver the following SPL at 2 meters Groundplane:
15 Hz .........................86 dB
20 Hz .........................91 dB
31.5 Hz ......................99 dB
50 Hz ........................107 dB
20-63 Hz avg .............103 dB
20-31.5 Hz average .... 94 dB
40-63 Hz average ....... 107 dB
6. Target MSRP is $500 shipped in the Continental USA. Production will begin in December, 2009
CS-18.1 Subwoofer System
1. The CS-18.1 will have a response curve of +/- 3 dB from 23 to 200 Hz. The response curve is deliberately going to roll off at 12 dB per octave below 23 Hz to match the room gain of the intended room for a subwoofer in its size and price category.
2. The CS-18.1 will be 20H x 20W x 20D.
3. The CS-18.1 will have a front firing driver with an enclosure matching grill.
4. The CS-18.1 will have an amp rating of 400 Watts rms and 1000 watts peak.
5. The CS-18.1 will deliver the following SPL at 2 meters Groundplane:
15 Hz .........................95 dB
20 Hz .........................100 dB
31.5 Hz ......................108 dB
50 Hz .........................115 dB
20-63 Hz avg ..............111 dB
20-31.5 Hz average .....104 dB
40-63 Hz average ....... 115 dB
6. Target MSRP is $800 plus actual shipping cost. Production will begin in December, 2009
CS-18.2 Subwoofer System
1. The CS-18.2 will have a response curve of +/- 3 dB from 23 to 200 Hz. The response curve is deliberately going to roll off at 12 dB per octave below 23 Hz to match the room gain of the intended room for a subwoofer in its size and price category.
2. The CS-18.2 will be 40H x 20W x 20D.
3. The CS-18.2 will have opposing baffle drivers, making for an elegant look for one's room. The Baffle facing the room will be a flat panel of finished wood.
4. The CS-18.2 will have an amp rating of 800 Watts rms and 2000 watts peak.
5. The CS-18.2 will deliver the following SPL at 2 meters Groundplane:
15 Hz .........................101 dB
20 Hz .........................106 dB
31.5 Hz ......................114 dB
50 Hz .........................121 dB
20-63 Hz avg ..............117 dB
20-31.5 Hz average .....110 dB
40-63 Hz average ........121 dB
6. Target MSRP is $1400 plus actual shipping cost. Production will begin in January, 2010.
