Will a t-line work on different subs?

[mrpep]

I have a t-tile that was built for a JL w7 and now want to throw a pioneer champion in it. Both are 12"s and will physically fit but I wonder if it will even sound ok. What do you guys think ?

Give it a try and find out. Shouldn't be too bad. I mean come on it's not a prefab.

Since most T lines I see are built around SD for port and Fs for line length. Both are 12's so unless the Fs are way off, it should be close enough to try. I would say throw it in there and see.

Go for it. It's not likely to be a gross misalignment. A TL is basically a pipe with a quaterwave resonance damping feature, with varying degrees of supplemental output depending on how it's damped and/or tapered. Will probably sound just fine.

So I tested and it sounds really good. I can only crank so high then the amp clips. It is a peavy cs800x amp made for DJ's and things. I need more juice, lol. I then compared it to my JL HO110W6V3 and the JL has more output but the T-Line shakes the entire house. Once again the T-Line has a pioneer champion , the 3500 watt one , its 1000 rms. One thing I wonder about is the amp is bridged to put out 800 watts and the sub is supposed to be wired to 4 ohms but the multimeter reads 6.7 and 3.7 on the set ups. Can someone remind me or send a diagram for a DVC wired to 4 ohms? Thanks and Id like to post a video but I dont think the forum takes them. Anyway, I have a headache, lol. Will continue testing tommorrow.

P.S : this is a CCstang T-line . This thing is huge but amazing.

Check out the RF "Woofer Wiring Wizard": Rockford Fosgate® - Woofer WiringWizard just use the drop-down menus to select the number of subs (1) and coil configuration. I'm not sure what the configuration of your sub is, or I'd link the exact one for you.

It sounds like you might have dual 4s. The 3.7ohm reading was somehow for one coil and the 6.7 reading was for the two wired in series. Use the woofer to make sure you're doing it right. Because you're measuring DC resistance and not actual impedance, your reading will be somewhat off, but it should be close enough to round to 2, 4, 8 etc.

Thanks Jeff and looks like I did it right.
