Bandpass Transmission Line

[NcHalfrican]

When designing a bandpass transmission line, do you tune the t-line portion higher like you would a traditional 4th order bandpass, or do you still tune to the FS of the driver?

Ummm... how to explain this... you can tune higher because the sealed section will control the excursion, but you'll lose output down low because you're basically just playing a sealed sub through a tube (t-line below quarter wave length = just a wave guide)

I wanna see someone do a 6th order with the 'front' as a t-line. That would be cool. Need a lot of cone and motor force to make it efficient though.

Don't tune the t-line higher than the FS, you will lose low end output.

Ahh ok, I may try my hand at a 6th order...looking for an ''out of the box'' idea to do for my Senior Project

Thanks btw

t-line bandpasses are a bit out of the box, also an abc enclosure would be away from the norm...

[NcHalfrican]

Will have to check out ABC boxes...their known for low end extension and SQ right?

[korey_hofer]

if you want out of the norm then

[NcHalfrican]

Is that a tapped horn?

[korey_hofer]

yeah
