T-line Subenclosure

[fischy fisch]

what the over all advantage with a t-line box and would it be a good idea to put one in an extened cab truck and if so can anyone design me one thank in advance

[amazinblazin10]

t-line are great for sound quality and they can really handle the lows with more clarity then an average vented enclosure, if you can fit one in your tuck which i'm almost positive you could, i would go for it

but then again are you going to be competing, would you rather have more sound quality or spl, etc. etc. these are things to think about but if not then yeah a t-line would be good

and another thing you need to check the specs on your sub, your Qts should be .40 and lower, and Qms 7 and lower, least these are the PREFERRED specs for a tline woofer, doesn't necessarily mean they wont' work if they are slightly over.

the only thing i would have a problem with is getting it over the back seats but if i could make it longer i could to it but my

qts is .36 and qms is 4.81 if that helps

ill build one but i need some one to design one because im lost on t-lines i can build with great amounts of quality but designing it i have no clue on

I used to design tline's for a lot of people, but other people started to charge, so I started to charge, and I would tell whoever I was designing a box for that I gladly receive tips, then I moved that to $10, and I only seen a payment once or twice- Since I don't have paypal

So I don't design boxes anymore for people, or I would. I' am just to busy myself to do free handouts

ya id like one but need a designs (so if youve got some time )(wink wink) but i go ported for a little while or something

[amazinblazin10]

designing and building a tline is relatively easy, you find your port length, max dimensions, and how big of a port you need and go from there.

1130/32 = 35.3125/4 = 8.828125*12 = 105.9375 so your port length would have to be around 106 inches in length if you decide to tune it to the fs of your speaker which is 32hz

and since i don't see the sd of your speaker you'd have to design your t-line off of the actual cone area of a 12" driver which is 94.985 sq. inches

so your t-line enclosure would have to have a port area of 94.985 sq. inches (can be rounded slightly for easier measuring purposes) around 106 inches long

if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask, there's a lot of t-line bass heads running around here on this site so either myself or anyone else experienced with t-lines can help you out.

ya you lost me there i think its because im sleepy

[amazinblazin10]

lol yeah but after you read it a few times and get the hang of it it starts to make sense

95.985 sq. inches of port 106 inches long is how i would sum it all up
