Joe X Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 So you want to do a big flat box in the floor? I would probably prefer something vertically laid out, like many speakers are, just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Is it as many channels to get the volume of sub would need? which is 2 cubic feet The box volume a sub needs only pertains to sealed and ported boxes, its irrelevant to t-lines. Like ported boxes, t-lines are very flexible and give you a lot of control over the way the sub will sound. If you are going to be designed a building a t-line, it would benefit you to have some understanding of how the specs of the line effect output. Making the line area = cone area usually results in very peaky output and much lower mechanical power handling, very similar in result to what you get when you make a ported box really big. Instead of making the line with a constant area, you can make a tapered line. It will make the line perform like its a little longer than it really is, which can save some space, but its a lot more difficult to design. ok so then how do you decide what width of your entire box? Like Joe X said, it depends on the space you are working with and how long your line needs to be to get the tuning frequency you want. T-lines are a lot more restricted in their physical layout since you have get the proper line length.

Triticum Agricolam Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 i got a line length on 97.5 in using that program, so each channel line needs to be 97.5 in? No, the line length is the total length from the closed end of the line to the open end. So if you needed 97.5" of line, that could be divided up into three roughly 30" long channels.
