Fish Chris Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I hear you. I got myself all interesting in T-lines a few years ago, and they do seem to have a lot of benefits.... aside from needing a LOT more space than a sealed, or even regular ported enclosure. My biggest problem was, I couldn't seem to find any exact formulas to predict the outcome of a particular build. Of course their must be an exact formula out there... It's all just physics, right ? But unless your a professor in mathematics, good luck. As so far as I know, nobody has designed a T-line calculator program Even among the successful T-line builds I've heard of, it seems that the builders were kind of flying blind, and just taking their chances. Of course like with most sub woofer designs, they can be adjusted after the fact. With T-lines, I guess it's common practice to use some sort of fiber fill, for damping, using more, or less, for the desired effect. If somebody could ever make T-line building easy (read: a program that gives me exact numbers) I'd be REALLY likely to try it myself. I had totally considered mounting my two 15"s face to face (turning them into one 15", with twice the motor) and using them in a huge T-line in my F150 Supercab > Walled, of course But again, I just can't go through all that trouble, if I'm not SURE about the outcome. Peace, Fish im looking for correct info on how to calculate and build one. its an interesting concept and possibly one i might be interested in so if anyone could help i would really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Ram designs might be able to help www.ram-designs.com no guarantees though. I'm pretty sure he can do t-lines though. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-money Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 i dont want a t-line tho i want a sono tube enclosure Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Chris Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Well, I suppose you could take a length of sonotube, seal it off at one end, and just have a cylindrical shaped, sealed enclosure. Not sure what the benefits would be. But generally speaking, a sono-tube enclosure "IS" a a T-line. Just another name for it. Another way of looking at at a sonotube sub set up, is just, that your speaker is mounted in a giant port, no actual box needed.

mlstrass Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just calculate the volume of a cylinder, same as you would a "square" enclosure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongmanDesigns Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) d x d x .79= cylinder volume. you can even slap an aero port at the opposite end and you'll have a decent spl enclosure.

Ricky A. Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 ive never heard of a sonotube enclosure? wouldnt the cardboard rip apart form pressure or something or am i just missing something?

The current featherweight bassboxing champ does 151's average with two 12's in separate 12" sonotubes with an aero port. NO reinforcement's.
