Sub Box For My Room

[LZTYBRN]

I'm going to building a t-line box for a REX12 to go in my room. I was wondering what would be the best way to build the box (mostly worried about port placement here.) I wasn't sure if it would be better to have the port up or forward.

I made a quick picture for my ideas for the box.

As you can see, I kept the subs at the bottom, because I've always learned they're supposed to be down low.

Which of these is better? Or would you recommend a better design? I'm open to suggestions.

If it matters at all, my room is about 12x12

Put 45s in it. And I feel like the 2nd one is a more common design, but Im not big in the t line scene

There will be 45's. I'm mostly worried about where the port should end.

definitely the second option and with 45's it should be nice and good.

Cool, so it's better to have the port come out the front then?

I think you will have a better bass responce with your T-Line, with the port facing the wall directly. From the bottom, or middle, or top, I believe the output will be the same as far as DB's but where the bass goes will change. Id Recommend A tuning of like 28Hz and let it hit out the port right against the wall like 1ft away or less. It will reverb the best that way. Dig the Idea. Im gonna do teh same with a TC Sounds Epic 12" just gotta sell me stuff. lol

Really with a room 12x12 its more of were the box is placed then the port.. Personaly id make the sub downfire with port forward.

Edit: oh and toss it in a corner farthest from were you sit

Yes. Yes I guess that could be true.

Another option would be to put the sub faceing up, port forward. The reason im saying face it up or down is to help out with the bass being extreamly un even in the room because the room is a perfect square.
