2 18's in 1/4 Wave T-Line / Isobaric HELP?

Oh somehow I missed the isobaric part, what are your maximum dimensions maybe I can whip something up for you when I get off work in the morning?

Oh, and not sure what amp you're going to use, but for isobaric in a t-line I wouldn't feel safe with more than 1,000 watts for the pair on two 1800watt woofers.

EDIT:

Here's my design for the two 15's, I ended up wrecking my Mountaineer two weeks later so I couldn't build it.

*New vehicle and system coming soon.*

SPL FX1-5500 says 2500 watts rms at 2 ohms but im only expecting like 700watts rms each and thanks ill take a look and it would be great if you could draw something up would be most appreciated my max dimensions are

Length: 31.1024 inches

Height: 21.2598 (can go a bit higher prefer not though)

Width 37.7953

The pictures you have above is not a t line, looks more like a folded horn of some kind.

I did some quick calculations and came up with:

Tline length- 7.63 ft long but let's just round it to 7.5 ft

The displacement needed throughout the tline is 226.86 sq in. you can round it down smaller to 226 sq in. That is going to be massive!

Just some simple general calculations.

7.63 ft long at what frequency 226.86 Sq inches isnt it the subwoofer area which is 180.4450759 sq inches I don't know tell me if im wrong

The 7.63 ft long is at 37 htz, To my understanding is the fs of the woofer right?

And 180 sq. in. Seems too small for the cone area of an 18. I simply used circumference/ 2 X (radius X radius) to get the answer.

I am in no way shape or form a pro at this but I've read up on T-Lines a lot and have always wanted to design one and i just did my best at figuing out the measurements. I just realizd that the mounting depth of your subs won't work in this box the way i put the port but when i get off work today i will try and figure out a different way . but here are the rest of my measurements.

if i did something wrong with my calculations please tell me because I really want to learn how to do this the correct way

I noticed the mounting depth problem I thought I could make some spacers to raise it up some and also take some of the woffer displacement out of the equation thanks your calculations looks good to me but 226 sq inch port ? im not sure?
