MACnonsence6 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 so a t-line is the best enclosure for a subwoofer but does that fall true for other speakers like would a 12" woofer perform to its best abilitys in a t-line same question for a 6" full range and smaller speakers? Quote I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 TL applies to the bass and sub bass range. Parts express has a TLine kit for home that uses two 5 1/4" mids and a tweeter...

RooTxBeeR Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 They are better than most all enclosure types. Allows them to most of the time be able to play a very big range of notes, even going low. Amazing sound quality. As for how it effects the power if it can take more as some boxes help with that I do not know how that works.

nCOMP1337 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 lol, who ever told you a tline is the best enclosure for a subwoofer? he possibly got that from the tline tutorial where forevrbumpn says Over the years I have learned tricks, and short cuts to tlines. I stick with tlines, because personally, its the Perfect box, for your sub. No more of that, "What box sounds best for my sub?" If you do a tline based on your subs Fs, That IS the perfect box POSSIBLE for that sub. Its in the environment that subwoofer is built for, with absolutley NO amplifier strain, yet huge db outputs.

jsawdy212 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 they are efficient but are not the best for a subwoofer. The best box for a sub woffer is ome that is build for that specific sub. And every woofer likes different boxes! That being said no a full rang speaker is an ib4 and is meant for "free air" but they will work in a box Quote 2007 caliber 2 Fi ssd 18's rd audio 3250 xs power d3100 (need 2 more) stock alt (soon to be singer 350a) 2.75:1 4th order in progress!

Quiet Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) TL applies to the bass and sub bass range. Parts express has a TLine kit for home that uses two 5 1/4" mids and a tweeter... so a t-line would be ideal for use with a subwoofer and a woofer but not with a mid or full range speaker? "and" meaning both in the same enclosure? I wouldn't unless the mids were the "sealed back" type. As a general rule, you shouldn't use two different type drivers to reproduce the same range of music. Doubly so for the same enclosure. Typically you can use a TL for a full range, like the Tang Band or Dayton Point Source drivers. Using a TL on these will help you get the most out of the low end when compared to a ported or sealed enclosure. Edited August 28, 2011 by srp365 Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet.

Autruche Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not all subs are happiest in a t-line. Subwoofers have a rather narrow bandwidth. We really only expect them to play about an 80Hz bandwidth, from 20Hz up to 100Hz. Full range speakers are expected to play over many octaves, and have a very wide bandwidth. It wouldn't make too much sense to put it in any type of tuned enclosure because you'd really be wanting a flat response out of it. It could be an interesting thing to do with midbass drivers though, I know that some SQ competitors will port their midbass. It can be tough to find T/S parameters on midbass drivers though.
