[QUOTE="lamsv, post: 8744496, member: 682984"] I've been messing around with transmission line subwoofers over the winter. I have kept them very simple: Calculate total length needed using speakers Fs, figure out how to snake that length to fit within the constraints of my car. I've used several 6.5" and 8" speakers to accomplish this, with mostly fantastic results. I'm ready to step up to a higher power handling speaker though. Which brings me to one issue. That past subs I've used where lower power handling, with shallow mounting depths. The shallow mounting depth helped with such small speakers, as the cross section area of the t-line has been very small (not much cone area with a 6.5" or an 8" speaker). The subs I have been eyeing to try next have vastly deeper mounting depths, and just won't fit inside a conventional t-line. Below is a screen shot of (2) different configurations that would allow the installation of a deeper speaker. I've searched, but not really found the answer I'm after. In the case of the configurations below (speaker mounted into a small chamber that actually feeds the transmission line vs. firing the speaker into the transmission line, with a small open ended chamber to protect the speaker), is one better than the other? Does it really mater? Thanks! [ATTACH type="full" alt="28488"]28488[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
