2 sa-8's in a t-line... I plan on doing this very soon, hopefully. Just need to find someone to design a box for me...

and what space and tuning would be best for the tc epic?

SSA Shop - SoundSplinter Orphan 8" sub woofer
not an rl-1 but still a great sub

TC Sounds Epic 8" DVC Subwoofer | Parts-Express.com

i would get a tc sounds epic over everything

500 rms each get 4 and put it on an amp that does 2500 rms at 1 ohm u will be ******* out ur ears

The Orphan8 is very close to the old RL-i 8. Biggest difference is cone and no shorting ring on the Orphan 8.

You'll want to keep it small and tune as low as possible to prevent a huge dB peak at tuning.

Download WinISD and play with some designs, its pretty easy. There is really no ideal design for this driver, but its low Qts wants a bass reflex box, horn or TL.

Here is the full list of spec's you can model with

TL would be fun. What kind of tuning would you suggest with a woofer that has such a low qts and relatively low fs?

LEAP shows 27Hz 1/4 cubic feet for extended bass response - obviously not really possible.

Here is a design with 2 Epic 8's and a single 12" VMP. you can tune anywhere from 36hz down to 16Hz (any anywhere in-between)

this box is 15" x 15" x 16" a bit on a the large side, but you get a lot of flexibility with the vmp and of course no one will have a subwoofer quite like.

Thanks for that info, but I was speaking about a t-line.

If you're going to anything that deals with horn loading (including TL systems) you'll probably want to do some modeling because this gets very specialized.

This program is quite handy

but its a bit challenging to use if its your first time so make sure you read the guide before starting.
