    I can see how that would be beneficial. It allows 2/3 resistance/enclosure while allowing the the sound to travel and escape as well as the frequency which travels with it. Haven't had much enjoyment or success with open/bandpass boxes however designing and a reasonable amount of effort are warming me up to it. Still enjoy the hard hitting notes that come from a sealed box.

    T-line boxes sound awesome and the amount of sound you can get out of a single sub is crazy too!! Making it down fire like that has multiple benefits because I think they sound the best that way plus you don't need to worry about damage to the sub from a stupid passenger being careless with foot placement! When you were building it the cut out for the sub looked way bigger then a eight, but those little Skar eights do work for sure if you have a good amp going to them. I like it, I like it a lot! LoL

      gluing in the connector will help keep them from cracking from the pressure. and they make a lot of different kinds of metal inserts so you don't have screws that the wood holes strip. glue them in to seal them in. just some things you might have not thought of.

  • @Acoustic_Theory

    A transmission line speaker with a decoupling chamber behind the driver is called a Decoupled Antiresonant Line, or Daline. It permits more powerful quarter-wave resonance of the air in the line; it is like a hybrid between a bass-reflex system and a transmission line. In a system like this, the chamber behind the driver may have stuffing (or maybe not), but the line typically does not have any stuffing.

    • @juststuff5216
      @juststuff5216 2 года назад +1

      Albeit, the chamber is quite shallow, I call it a Daline, or simply a Chambered t-line. Admittedly, in my 30 years of designing t-lines, I've never tried to design one. Jesnen transflex ruclips.net/video/6yb2msOQw_4/видео.html or bandpass t-line ruclips.net/video/qm5K_VVRwXQ/видео.html is as varied as I get
      As for the measurements, to have a 'Line' that's 1 3/8's ... wouldn't perform that well. So this is certainly pointing more towards a daline, than a traditional 1/4 wave.

      Every t-line based on quarterwave that I have ever heard has the best bandwidth of any box I have ever heard. Recently heard a Sundown SA-10 that was amazing. Dug super low with rebassed tracks but also very musical with jazz and classical. Guy was going to sell me his box and hooked it up in his vehicle because he had audiofrog and was going strictly SQ for competition. Sounded so good that he changed his mind. It sounded so good that I wasn't even upset with him. He literally quit competing because he missed that box. Not saying everyone would feel the same but ridiculous bandwidth.

    • @uncledope77
      @uncledope77 2 года назад +2

      I would agree with that if it was made accurately for each individual subwoofer. A lot of these homemade T-Line enclosures don't sound right. Because they don't hit that quarter wave frequency spot on the money. Sometimes not having the proper spacing in the vented walls. Without that specific frequency & spacing that will tremendously effect the overall performance and sound quality.

    • @Teknakill
      @Teknakill Год назад +1

      Going larger then the recommended box size for a sub is not going to wreck them, it will be louder because there is less back pressure, but your sound quality will be looser sounding, or sloppier and less tight. Bigger the box the louder (more room filling vibrations ), and the opposite for smaller boxes. Hope this helps.

      @@tesla_3_performance Yeah I did consider a duratex finish. And yes it does provide additional protection, but I wanted a smooth finish; i believe duratex has more of a rough texture finish. Adding a mesh or some sort of cover to the sub is not necessary (it might look good, but it would not add any real protection). I ensured it had enough clearance at the bottom for excursion. A few years back I built my home sub with a similar design (down firing) and there's been no issue with dust, kids toys, etc.

    Awesome work, rumor is cabinet makers are always the best sub box builders ;)
    Love your work, I even just subbed! Would to pick your brain one day!
    My neighbors dad as a kid when growing up, was a cabinet maker from scratch, best/craziest wood work I've ever seen, and their cars would always slam with the smallest subs lol, the man knew his math, angles and had the right tools! Now as of today the man is in his late 60's still doing both! For some reason he loves birch wood (I assume its much more dense, MDF has crazy chemicals he says) in cars.. Not sure what he does for homes, my home had "builder upgraded cabinets" then I got a huge discount (for the house) before the market went up lol.

      Much appreciated and thank you for your kind words (and for subbing). I rarely ask people to sub to the channel because if people like what you do, they'll sub without asking. 😁
      MDF has been the go to material for speaker/sub box building. There's little to no material flexing when the subs are hitting hard. However, yes, there's some wicked chemicals in MDF. Plywood, also has some level of chemicals. Face masks, good dust collection, and ventilation is important when working with these materials.
      Stay tuned for more. I have another dual sub build. Will make another vid!

    1:17 man, don't do this.
    Never crosscut with a rip fence, use a miter gauge or sled.
    You are gonna get yourself seriously injured or killed, and someone learning from you will do the same.

    • @JViello
      @JViello 2 года назад

      Good advice...but question. At what point does a cut become a cross cut? Is it the point when width (East/West) is more than the length? (North/South) So anything wider than a square shouldn't be cut with a fence?

    • @joshua43214
      @joshua43214 2 года назад +1

      @@JViello Ideally, you should never rip more than half the length, and consider anything close to being a square with special caution.
      You can go for years without getting a kick back, and then one day it happens. I once had a full sheet of 3/4" plywood kick and frisbee across the shop with enough for to move my 1500lb planer.
      If a good after market extended miter gauge is too much, make yourself a sled. It is one of the few tools that will actually make you a better craftsman. Not only will it cut more accurately, it is worlds safer/

    • @FranksCaliWoodSpecialty
      @FranksCaliWoodSpecialty  2 года назад +4

      Yup, I agree with you. It would be pointless to have a loud sub if it sounds terrible. There are various articles and sites that give you the info you need to build a box for any specific sub. Simply search for t-line calculator. Of course you can find a calculator for any box design that fits your needs.

      This enclosure looks like a T-Line (quarter wave enclosure) that usually requires a bigger enclosure. That have to be properly tuned or they sound awful! Sealed enclosures are usually smaller but struggle with loud spl's at lower hertz. Also require more power than vented enclosures because they are less efficient. Please explore an enclosure that has a passive radiator. It can be the best of both worlds. It does require proper tuning which can be a headache in the beginning. But once it is done right, you can have an enclosure around the size. Of a sealed enclosure while having a lot of the efficiency of a vented enclosure. I have made passive radiator enclosures that HIT HARDER than a lot of bandpass boxes. But with a full lower frequency bandwidth. In my humble opinion 🤔
