Memphisman Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I am helping a buddy of mine come up with a new box, and i was thinking about creating the schematic for a Tline box, it will be just 1 memphis pr 15' sub.. i know it will need something like 6 cubic feet, but if i cut it down to about 4 cubic feet, will it still sound decent? or will it sound absolutely terrible? im not sure on the specifics on how big it will be.. just need to see if its even worth designing Quote

You'll want about 8.5 ft of port at about 170 Sq/In. Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music
Memphisman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 im new to tline boxes, i know that i have to angle the corners and whatnot, and have alot of port, my question is still if i cut that port length down to fit it into my application, will it even be worth building anymore?

Toxiccasper Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 No you cant just cut things down there isnt any physical "airspace" the sub sits in, it sits in the port Quote
Toxiccasper Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Picture of a t-line I made for my 8 inch rockford to give you an idea Quote
Memphisman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 ok because my buddy has been askin about it and wants to fit the t-line box in his accord, and i told him we wont have the room to do it, but i wanted to check and make sure, Quote
Toxiccasper Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 an 8 could fit in the trunk with ease and maybe fit a 10 if you dont want a backseat Quote
Memphisman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 yah i am workin on the design right now, and i've got a 10.5 cu ft box designed with 120 sq inches, i dont know the actual dimensions that i have to work with, but its not as big as i had expected actually.. i did the math and thats exactly what the 15 will call for.. now i just got to see how big the trunk actually is Quote
Forevrbumpn Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Ive done a 12" T-line in an Accord in fact it was a bandpass tline 12" and its sounded damn good with a JL 500/1 Quote 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.
Memphisman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 oh nice, this will be my first t line ever so i hope it sounds ok, its for a buddy and he has 2 hifonics 12's but he wants something to hit harder and deeper... i dont want it to be bandpass, im not to big a fan of bandpass Quote
