Quarter Wave / T-Line tutorial-UPDATED

i dont think 1/3 wave works.

You are correct sir. In physics, octaves in this kind of setup follow the even lengths like 1/2, 1/4, 1/8.

also, you could do a full wave.... it would just be a huuugggeeeeeeee box

Current Setup in my 00' Hyundai Accent:

Pioneer DEH-P6900UB

RE.6.5C AUDIO 500w 6.5" COMPONENT CAR SPEAKERS

Eclipse SE 6500 (6.5 coax in rear deck)

two Kicker C124's in a t-line tuned to 28.6Hz

Kenwood KAC-7204

US amps 1600.4 V2

Upcoming Build this summer:

T-Line enclosure for two C124's tuned to 28ish hz O_O

amp my speakers with a US amps 1600.4.

Second Skin Should be fun ^_^

I've noticed all these t-line enclosures are powered by ~500 watts. If I build a t-line for my friend's 12" tuned around 30 hz with 2000 watts, would it be beyond absurd spl wise?

That mainly depends on the woofer. what does your friend have?

He doesn't have the woofer yet, but he's looking at a 12" fi btl (fs=37.9 hz, qms=5.28, qts=.19) or a Hifonics Olympus 2412 (fs=34, qms=3.8, qts=.513).

What other woofers should he consider if we're building a t-line for it?

also, according to one of the links somewhere around page 20 you can do 1/4, 3/4 and 5/4. If we're talking about a sinusoidal function, using a 1/4, 3/4 or 5/4 length it seems is tuning such that the wave is at a crest upon exiting the port:

(referring to the bottom sine wave)

I stand corrected. its been a long time since i took a physics class, but like i said, it is all physics :)
