Quarter Wave / T-Line tutorial-UPDATED

That sub wouldnt work to great with the space/tuning you want... Its a higher Fs sub, meaning in a transmission line it will naturally want to play the higher tones... after break in period I would assume 35hz would work, but- you would be more looking at a tline tuned more to 40-45hz

a bandpass tline would work best for that sub in my experience

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.

Hey forevrbumpn or anybody with good experience in designing t-lines, I have a Q Power "New Deluxe" series 12 inch subwoofer that is 1200 watts probably about 600 rms. I really want to see how a t-line sounds and my demensions are 14 high by 38 wide and about 16 deep. This is for a trunk car so should i face the sub to the back? I can't find any sub specs but I know I wanna hit lows and a little high notes, well basically want it to sound good on all music but freaking slump on rap.

We, need specs.

At least the Fs of the sub to determine where proper tunning is.

I have an MTX 4508-04 8" sub in a sealed fiberglass enclosure up front in the kick panel of an Envoy. Its powered by an MTX Thunder 102 (100 watts). I wanted to just take the strain off the mids, but now I just want a little more. I am thinking of trying a slot or a t-line. Slot would be real easy, but i did all the math on a t-line, but just can't seam to figure it out to have the driver and port mouth on the same side. I have space to work with, but it needs to be 46 wide, watever the rest is fine. Can I get some help on it? Fs:34.41 Sd: 39.67, however unfortunatly Qts of it is .582, and Qms is 9.51. Might not be the best but to try it..... what the hell right!!!

Not to be a dick but your sig is fucking loooooooong.

I suggest a 35hz tuning.

Make sure you have the room for it, though.
