2,000w RMS in a T-Line?

[RF4LIFE]

Thanks for the links, should I look for more Surface area or larger drivers for lower notes? I lisin to some music that has 10-20hz ground shakeing bass hits and I need a lot more boom. This is my avarage Sd list without the Xmax figured in:

1 10" 48in^2

1 12" 74.5in^2

2 10" 96in^2

1 15" 125.5in^2

3 10" 144in^2

2 12" 149in^2

1 18" 187.5in^2

4 10" 192in^2

3 12" 223.5in^2

2 15" 251in^2

4 12" 298in^2

I can't fit anything bigger than 3 12"s. I was thinking like 4 10"s or 1 massive 18"? But will the 4 10"s play as low as the 18? I know they will be louder but I think I want lower more? Or should I just try to go with the 3 12"s that would be the loudest and hope they will be low

Woofer size has nothing to do with how low they will play, it's all on the box you build for it. Personally I would do 4 10s if I were to try something like urs, but that's my opinion. Go with whatever you want. I'm in for the results regardless

But don't typically larger drivers have lower Fs (which is what I tune to) ?

[RF4LIFE]

The 18" re xxx has a Fs of 15.6hz, I have never seen a 10" that low? Is it safe to tune Lower than the FS?

Fs of a sub almost doesn't matter when you put it in a box. Fs number just means free air resonance that's it, meaning no box used for the test. Now once you introduce a box into the equation the resonance changes.

Never go below the fs of a sub in a t line, because it's almost as if the woofer is playing free air with no back pressure to protec the sub from overloading and damaging the suspension, evetually blowing it.

Edit* I have an sxx12 it's fs is 31. The 18" version is 33, the 15" is 28, and the 10" is 31 also. Not always is that statement true.

Well if I'm looking for lower bass so should I just find the lowest Fs sub/subs and use them

idk man u should give it a try tho. usually ppl use lower fs based subs for sound quality.

This whole thread made me face palm

Here's my advice make 1 tline for testing back and forth no extra bends nothing, play around with it then build 2 more if you have the space! They take up way more space than you think

just cuz the tline is tuned to 40 doesn't mean it wont play stupied low!

I took 2 old cvr 8s and made a tline tuned to 45 ish slammed with under 200 watts

Ive also done some testing on tlines with full power, a dc 8 and a 1.2k at 2 ohms 780rms, it handles the power very nicely gets loud too!, same sub similar tline did 133.3 on music sealed on the dash with an OVERTATED POLK 330 240rms

i would listen to him more since he makes some sexyass boxes

Depending on the sub you will be fine! i have 6 500 watt tens in my t-line running right around 1k a sub and it has never had a problem!

. What is a t line?
