through more research on t-lines that i've done over the past couple months i've found out that my t-line that i built is actually more tuned to about 23hz lol

anyways i came back here to post up my newest design i've came up with for a JL 8w3v2-D4

it's a folded horn of sorts and expands 50% and is tuned to 34.5Hz

here's the SPL response

and here's the drawings i've come up with. designing/modeling this thing was a B%&^

alright so i got the design i liked for it and i also found out it'd work great for a sa8 v2 so might be getting one soon to test it out!

got the wood cut out and also did my first kerfs today!

this is the test one i did and i didn't cut deep enough so that's why it looks like crap

how does it sound and does it get loud? what does it do on the tl?

well with the JL in it, it was just as loud as a SA15" in a custom ported box tuned to 32hz and both were on the same amp getting 300w in the same car ect. and for an 8" it does awesome. i haven't gotten any numbers on it at all on the TL so sorry. this box indoors sounds really good also.

and just to make sure you meant the folded horn with the kerfs right?

video ? nice work man

i don't have one of this box yet. i actually built it for a friend and im gonna be installing it here soon so i could get one then. or maybe if i sell my 24hz t-line then i'll get a vid of the horn in my truck.

i do have this vid of my 24hz t-line though. (i don't expect to get flex like this with the 8 lol)

I have to say that I really like the work you have done. I am especially drawn to that folded horn type box you've built. It's sexy.
