EMD Enclosures Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 New to the forum, been lurking around for quite some time and am on a couple other audio forums and my buddy told me to join this one since you guys have helped him out quite a bit.... anywho, I've been building enclosures for quite awhile but never have done a T Line, no one really asks/knows/talks about them around here but I've heard great things about them, so I'd like to do one for myself before someone else asks me to make them one but know nothing about them or how to build one... I'd much rather screw my own up than someone elses... anyways, I've seen lots of designs for 8s, 10s, and 12s but I cant seem to find any for 15s.. Anyone have any designs they'd like to share over just different subs? I just sold my sa 15s but am looking at buying some new 15s but I dont really have any set ideas, so if anyone has any over any sub/s I'd like to see them and if you've heard or use your design and opinions on it. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namosh Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 One of the many boxes I have had in my truck was for 2 15" DC XLs in a dual t-line. If you click the link in my sig and go to page 7 you can see some build pics of it. I don't really remember the specs on it any more so don't ask.....that was just too many beers ago.

Forevrbumpn Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 The 1/4 wave tutorial I wrote on this thread is a " Quarterwave for Dummies" type thread. Unless you plan on doing Tlines in home audio, the basic formula works 100%. Reason I posted that thread up was to 1/4 wave idea is not as hard as people like Martin King shows it to be with their mathematical formula. If you want to waist your time on that or other formulas which have almost no use in a car, go ahead. But I've tested and built over 100 Tlines in my days. When I realized the formulas were not intended for car, I knew there had to be something easier. So in car testing due to a compressed environment that the very basics are only needed to calculate a tline. Infact that you can make Universal prefab Tlines and throw almost any sub in them. As long as its in a car not a house. When I worked at the last shop I worked at, every customer that wanted just one sub, he got a prefab tline that I would keep on the sales floor. Tuned to 40hz not a single sub or box ever came back. So that is why I typed that thread up, just to show tlines really are not as complicated as most thinky I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
