DudeWith4x4 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Jake-yeah man id like to hear it. Jhmeg-I couldve but I didn't wanna spend alot on this box. Maybe the next one. I will build two or three boxes for this sub just cause I wAnna experiment with them to see witch one i like more.

cc_audio Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I hope you don't think I'm trying to be a dick. I'm just thinking out loud, and trying to help. I totaly dig t-lines. Also admire any one who takes on the task of buildig one. I have built a few, and I found them to be great for SPL, but even better for SQ. T-Lines do sound great and will play very low, but they are not meter friendly at all. OP, if your trying to get some volume out of that sub, personally I'd do a fourth order or at least a ported box over a T-Line. T-lines have a fantastic response and can play lower than the depths of hell, but its difficult to get loud with a T-line without compromising the very reasons anyone builds a T-line in the first place. You've got plenty of space, do a 4th order. It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhmeg2 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Granted not great for meters, but.... from 8 10s slot ported @ 42Hz, 1780 watts, 8 volts input, 151.1dB, to a single 12 in a t-line @ 39Hz, 1100 watts, 4 volts input, and a 148.3dB, I'm pretty happy. However, my SQ is much better. Now, I'm using a single 8, in a t-line, 600 watts, 140dB, and so far the best SQ by far. ////Alpine, Eclipse, Load Boss, Pheonix Gold, MB Quart,Digital Desings, Memphis, Stinger, Periphial, MTX, Visualogic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeWith4x4 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I didn't take it that way jhmeg. Cc- would a 4th order be louder but still have good sq? Same question with a ported box? Personally I like the low notes but really like the ones in the 30hz range better. -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.

cc_audio Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I didn't take it that way jhmeg. Cc- would a 4th order be louder but still have good sq? Same a ported? 4th orders have the same output as a ported enclosure (at its peak frequency), but allows increased output along a wider bandwidth (meaning way more daily friendly). Whereas instead of just a peak at the tuning frequency like ported enclosures. There's a lot more to it than that, I'll send you a PM with the best noob friendly writeup I have seen, you should be able to understand it. 4th orders can be tailored for high SPL number, or can be built for monster low tuned groundpounders. But they make one hell of a daily box, the only drawback is a lot of people don't understand how they work or how to build them. And they take up a lot of space (but not anymore than a T-Line would).

DudeWith4x4 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Well I was proud of myself for partially figuring out a t-line. My re t-line sounded really good and was impressed but idk about this one. May just design an 4th order and build it. I may be asking your advice during the designing time as well as Zach (727designs) and I would like to build a awesome ported box aswell for it at some point. -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.

DudeWith4x4 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Do you guys think a precision power bp.8 would be good enough to control the freq. going to the 8? -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.

cc_audio Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Stick with the Epic 8" dude. Aside from the SA-8 (especially the new V.2) or the JL W7 8" the TC Epic 8" is the best you can buy as far as 8" drivers go. Hit me with a PM, if you have google sketchup installed I can help you with a 4th order free of charge. Cutsheets will cost you though It's all gone!

DudeWith4x4 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 The bp.8 is a processor. Lol I need something to control the subsonic since my amp doesn't have the setting. Would you recommend this? -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.

DudeWith4x4 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'll start working on a forth order tonight. I can't wait to build my first one.. Lol anyway it was black Friday today at the shop I work at and I got myself some treats Precision power BP.8 bass processor to tune my sub better to make the tline sound better Stinger 1.5ft RCAs 2REX8D4 one for me and one for my friend. Lol The BP.8. Will this thing having the subsonic really help? Notice the subsonic is on the remote knob. REX8D4 -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.
