[QUOTE="Moble Enclosurs, post: 7458130, member: 634917"] it is likely that you will succeed in this goal as Tlines are made for SQ when designed properly, but give a great amount of output as well. Like the horn enclosure, this is mainly due to coupling. The difference is, the horn can be exponentially larger than a tline for that reason. The tline was nominally made for HT with stuffing to limit the ability for HF bands to pass through the line, but allow the LF band to go through it. This seperates the frequency range of the full range driver used to increase sound quality and accuracy of reproduction-simply put.
