T-Line box for a 10" Subwoofer

[PA5cAl1]

That's actually one of the simplest T-Lines you could possibly design. It's not tapered which is preferred because a tapered line is smaller and the sound quality is a lot better. Less spl tho. I'm currently making one for an 8'' TangBand driver. I tapered my line. It has a 2:1 taper ratio. T-Lines do have tuning frequencies. Normally a T-Line is tuned to the fs of the driver. Did you stuff the line?

[kctess5]

Alright guys its a transmission line box not a bass reflex therefore there is no tuned port. The whole box is tuned by making it the same length as a quarter wavelength of the resonant frequency of the driver, for 20 Hz this is about 14 feet so these things can get big

[TheBassChild]

I built the same one :D!! That design is great!! I have a 100WRMS subwoofer in it, and I have window flex!!

[andythewooferguy]

it sound very clear through your camera. what is it tuned to?

[calvinblinkee]

@andythewooferguy Turns out transmission lines have no tuning..

[andythewooferguy]

@calvinblinkee ahh right. i do see some t line boxes on youtube that have the Fb

[jamesodowd69]

whats the size of the box and all the other specs

[MrNielsen13]

whats powering that 10? and if its a cap amp whats powering ur amp?

[calvinblinkee]

@MrNielsen13 A....Sony Xplod =P. It's powered by a 60A computer power supply.

[bigblockvista]

Good shit, love seeing car audio in a house lol. I'm also really fascinated by T-line box's. Great video man!

[TheBassChild]

Hey man,

How much clearence is there for the sub? Any chance you could pm me the plans of the box. I like the design and want to make one for my 10.

Cheers

[calvinblinkee]

@TheBassChild I think there's like 6.5" or so. Not sure. you'll have to ask AnythingLoud.

[L1LJO3Y1313]

sick box. too bad its too big for the trunk of a car :P

[calvinblinkee]

@L1LJO3Y1313 Fits fine in my parent's Audi lol

[rainbirdman07]

is a T-line better?

[calvinblinkee]

@rainbirdman07 Louder than a sealed enclosure, yes. Theoretically it's also as flat as one frequency wise but that's not true in my environment.

[rainbirdman07]

@calvinblinkee But is it better then a regular ported box? well at least in our bedroom'z?

[calvinblinkee]

@rainbirdman07 I'm not sure. I don't have a ported box to test with lol

[777MMT]

does you family get mad with you when you blast it like that? PS that crap is sweet!!!!! :)

[calvinblinkee]

@777MMT Well I don't turn it up when they're home lol

[777MMT]

@calvinblinkee oh ok thats cool. my family is home almost all the time so i never get a chance to blast it for a good whale :(

[calvinblinkee]

@777MMT Same for me actually. I only get to blast it for like 10 minutes on a Thursday night.

[keepNitloud]

man who designed this box for you???

[calvinblinkee]

@keepNitloud Brandon why are you so fucking retarded!? (No offense) I've showed it twice on this page. In the video and on the description section god damnit. AnythingLoud is the kid

[barevids]

hows it sound compared to the original box?

[calvinblinkee]

@barevids Um, MUCH louder, but I think this box kind of peaks around 40hz~~

[barevids]

@calvinblinkee lol thought it would :D is there any noticeable delay in the response, like with a bass kick drum? sometimes there can be with t-lines just depends if you get lucky!

[calvinblinkee]

@barevids Yeah that's what made me disappointed. Well I can't say much about that. I don't have any songs or good equipment to compare from but I tested it with Hotel Califonia and I can say that the bass does not sound extended.

[cubanman2009]

Hey calvinblinkee what the name of that song 0:00 to 1:00 I know its a biggie small song but i dont know the name of the track.....Also that box looks sick ....

[calvinblinkee]

@cubanman2009 Can I Get Wit Ya - J Cole ft Biggie

[cubanman2009]

@calvinblinkee thanx dude Iv been looking for this song for a while

[BurningArtsStudios]

nice!



[ROCKNOTEAR]

nice man

[nirvanaconejito]

I like your Fire extinguisher .

[calvinblinkee]

@nirvanaconejito Come over and I'll put it in you!

[nirvanaconejito]

@calvinblinkee LOL actually?, im coming tmr then

[herbman786]

crazy bass calvin!

any thoughts on the new z906's? im tempted to get a set just for the sake of it.. but ive heard the sub isnt even as powerful.. what do u rekon?

[calvinblinkee]

@herbman786 Thanks mann. That new system doesn't look bad but the analogue controller looks disappointing just because the Z-5500 had a digital one. Looking from the specs page, the wattage has been rated lower but I just wonder if these are real ratings or not. For me though I don't plan to get computer speakers ever again.

[herbman786]

@calvinblinkee haha agreed, custom build systems is the way to go! youll have to show me how to build a nice sub box sometime :)

[99MLSMediaGroup]

I always wanted ot built a T-Line box for a sub, but i wasn't sure how.

[Xlay16]

me dont like t lines.. everyone knows that round ported boxes are the best, spl and music..

[calvinblinkee]

@Xlay16 Have you tried a t-line though?

[Xlay16]

@calvinblinkee i didnt, cause i heard alot of t-line boxes. and its about the same as a L port. but more flat bass, i can say its better than an L port, but no where near as good as an round ported box

[AnythingLoud]

@Xlay16 That's the point! People build t-lines for flat, accurate bass like sealed boxes but much louder

[gfhnk]

HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR IT!

[calvinblinkee]

@gfhnk A bill...

[djspazzin]

@calvinblinkee Is this a 10" subwoofer build? If so, tell me the number you want on that bill.

[calvinblinkee]

@djspazzin A bill is $100. Yea it's 10". Not selling it at the moment tho

[djspazzin]

@calvinblinkee Awesome. Well, let me know if you ever get tired of it. Thanks for the response.

[gfhnk]

@gfhnk WHAT SIZE WOOFER AND WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

[bassline123456789]

damn... enough said

[MagicalMrSkylar]

i know my 8 kicker comp in a tline at 40hz had the siding on my house rattling, so im sure this thing completely pounds! glad to see someone else embracing tlines! also, the low end gain would be alot better with mouth of the tline on the bottom, just my $0.02

[AnythingLoud]

Very very nice build! looks like it was well worth it

[samstar1412]

Damn that sub does work in a T-line!!

[1500Tb]

1 sexy bolts 2 sexy terminals 3 epic box 4 giant box 5 are you saying that a single 10 is as good as your pioneer premier 12"s?

6 was this box worth it?

7 moves alot of air for a t-line

8 seems like badass results

9 does it go down to like 25 as loud as it would 35Hz? or from 20 Hz to 32Hz? because for some reason im having a hard time picturing it staying like super flat. and last but not least 10: BADASS FUCKING BUILD MAN!

[calvinblinkee]

@1500Tb LOL THanks. 1 Stole em 2 Stole em 3 Designed by AnythingLoud 4 Yes it's heavy as fuck 5 No I exaggerated but my Premiers were weak 12's 6 Definitely for $10!!!! 7 A T-line is basically a port 8 Yes indeed, much more vibrations in my room 9 Yes it's flat as hell when i played Love Lockdown which has flat basslines 10 THANKS!

[1500Tb]

@calvinblinkee cheap ass box. thats awesome man. and LOL to the stolen shit. this makes me want a t-line or 2 for my 8"s

[XsubwoofermaniacX]

damn bro that sounds badass bro, nice t line, welcome to the group lol =P

[calvinblinkee]

@XsubwoofermaniacX Haha thanks brahh.

[1500Tb]
