[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8288756, member: 655960"] You aren't likely to hair trick with two 15s in a transmission line. But if you do, let me know the details because mine isn't tricking and I've had a variety of subs in it with a good bit of power. Low end extension is insane but the lack of internal cabinet pressure doesn't lend itself to violent air (or hair) movement. So far I've had Sundown Zv3s, Powerbass Extremes & CT Sounds Tropo & Mesos in the box. The Tropos were temporary and weren't on much power but the Mesos were on two 1400.1s each. They didn't trick but they were brutal. They also didn't like that much power with no acoustical suspension. That said, my line is tuned to 29Hz and line area equals Sd. I have reduced the line area by 40% in the last two feet of the line and that has increased air movement a bit so I'm thinking that an overall line reduction somewhere between 30 & 40% might be the trick for hair tricks.
