Quarter Wave / T-Line tutorial-UPDATED

the small bose jewel cubes use 1/4 wave technology, but the bass module I believe is a ABC box. Its basically a ported box, firing in to another ported box

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

I have a question for you...and anyone else for that matter.

If anyone here is familiar with "Waveguide" theory, you know that in order to prevent reflections, the radient of the curves (port path) needs to be greater than 2 wavelengths. (the funny symbol represented in the below figures = wavelength) 

Is this taken into consideration in the automotive environment?  It seems that the folded horn, T-Line 1/4 wave approach is very close, but I'm wondering how a perfect "waveguide" would perform (if it's even plausable in a vehicle).

Consider this; in theory, you would only want two "vent passes", not three.  Here's why...during the first turn the wave reflects causing it to be 180 out, then on the second pass it would flip another 180 degrees and once again be 'in phase".  The comment was made above that t-line boxes sound good, but meter bad. Is this because the waves are out of phase? 

If you follow waveguide theory, and wave propogation it is.

Does anybody have any input?

Here is an example of an acceptable curve

The reflections that occur at the 45-degree bends cancel each other, leaving the fields as though no reflections have occurred.

offend?  if tlines meter bad, why are there lots of people getting above 150 out of them? I honestly dont see the question... The cone and port are in perfect alignment/phase, that is why the line is as long as it is, because its perfectly in phase with the port. But if you feel that is not true, try building a bandpass tline. They get crazy loud, and its just the line, no woofer, yes louder than a conventional tline. But the bend your talking about, I dont see how that effects anything??
