[@felix991]

I have scoured the web and watch watched all the idiots on youtube that slap together a box with a lot of angles and call it T-line and this 2 part explanation is the only one so far that has any real explanation or scientific merit behind it. Thank you for the very detailed explanation and how one can figure this on his own without magic dust. Best line ever: Problem is when you put the speaker in the box, the box has volume and its going to change the free air resonance and that changes the line length but when you change the line length, you change the volume which changes the free air resonance which changes the line which changes the volume which...... I'm going to print that and hang it in my shop as a reminder to quit trying to build t-line speakers :)

The pulsating area of a woofer is NOT measured from cone edge to cone edge. It is measured from half a roll of suspension to half a roll of suspension.

"This methodology is obsolete"... it's right there, written in RED at the top of the article you chose to follow...

[@mer9706]

Yeah, problem is, the new method is totally reliant on specialized software and most of that is no longer available because this is such a niche application. So unless you can whip up a bunch of calculus and matrix models in math cad, this the approximation that was used for decades prior to "non obsolete" and now obscure to access methods.

[@rickynelson7384]

I built a 1/4 wave length transmission line back in 1979 using the math for tuning and an 8 inch woofer , because the design is so non precise you can be plus and minus 30% on the line length and it will still sound great , mine sounded amazing esp on bass guitar notes the definition was amazing , the TL sounded better than any other alignment I have ever listened to , they have been my choice of design since then , nothing else sounds as good !!!!

[@mr123leafman]

[@jamesdem1123]

i dont know if he mentioned it, but the 280 is one quarter of the speed of sound in the first equation. Also, if you use the program's equation solver and set it to solve a system of 2 equations, it will give you the exact length and frequency

[@jmkaudio]

Your video is great, I just would like to point out one thing. When you are measuring for cone area you need to take into account the movement of the surround, and how you do this is by measuring from the out side of the surround on one side of the driver to the inside of the surround on the other. From there it is math time.

[@spencerboaz2385]

Fine tuning can also be tweaked with volume and density of poly fill . Not to replace correct 1/4 wave length but just for fine tuning to reach a reasonable RTA . Good video on where to start .

[@RacerXGTO]

This is so fascinating! Yet, I cannot find these designs in any of the $10,000 thru $200,000 speaker systems on the market, namely, the Steinway Lyngdorf Model D

[@kbrown7570]

When I started my quest on knowledge of transmission line theory and design, I was stuck reading math by Martin King and others on the algebraic equations. That scared me off since I was a much better hands on person than dealing with math. I always used simple equations to find my answers. After 150 box designs and builds over a few years, I simplified the formulas to a 6-8th grade standard. No need for all that. But it makes it look legit, I'll give you that. Best bet is to have a good box program like Bassbox6.0 or Termpro box design. Also a wt3 or know called a DAT tester. Knowing the t/s of the sub, inputting them in to the program to find sealed box resonance (still trying to figure out why that's important and usually a lot higher than any number you would want to see anyways ) Also sea level is 1130ft per second not 1120ft. Anyways the simplistic formula ( as on the SMD forum, my Quarter wave tutorial states) Fs example 30hz (1130/30=37.66/4= 9.41) you can also find your 8th wave which is a secondary peak your box will create by (1130/30=37.66/8= 4.7) So if you built a quarter wave for 30hz you will also have a 8th wave gain at 60hz And here is the kicker, depending on your car these numbers barely matter. You will most likely build a line slightly shorter to save space and allow transfer function to take effect. Unless you want a 8" box in a box as big as a box for a 15". Either way, this is still my favorite box design, next to 6th order designs - very fun to build and experiment with.

[@MrDanielknew]

your theory came out as 9.41 feet (113 inches) of line length for 30hz, and his is saying 8 feet (96 inches) of line length. what do I do?

[@juststuff5216]

There are ways to get that number down!

[@RH-vh7el]

Excellent tutorial, was exactly what I needed. I managed to go one step further which may be of use to some people, if you transpose your formula you can end up with an equation in the form length=a*b*c*d etc which tells you the exact length of the line, ie you don't need to rely visually on where the graphs cross. It ends up a nasty formula but works great. Using the same program, make a transpose equation where "equation1 - equation2 = 0" (blue line - green line = 0 ie when they are equal), and then solve it for x. Put the resulting formula in a spreadsheet and you can just enter fs,vas and sd and it spits out the required line length.

[@jeskerr6632]

Me Athome Could you give an example formula? Interested to give this a try!

[@rickynelson7384]

it is the speed of sound 1123 feet per secant divided by the speakers Fs and then divide that by 4 gives you the TL length and this formula works really well my horns have only one fold and vent out of the back of the speaker ! instead of the front , instead of stuffing the TL I use acoustic foam on the back wall of the TL , since there are no hard design rules I experimented to see what worked and sounded best ! I found that is the best way to approach a TL design and built there is a lot of wiggle room !!!

[@juststuff5216]

SD² - Speed of sound ÷ frequency ÷ 4 x 12(inches) and you have the line length. Personally I've have better audible results with tapered enclosures. Personally I find t-lines to be the most easy to design. Building them depends on the complexity of the enclosure, but its not a problem really if you have even the most basic of woodwork skills.

[@Vorss76]

Also ppl do measure from cone side to rubber end. Need to check the difference in sound.

[@guido0582]

Excellent explanation. I have some TL speakers I designed with a friend, but I’ve had to replace the drivers. It would be nice to see if they are still within parameters.

[@ltitus8900]

Uhm, I am going to have to watch this a few times lol.

[@paddlehard5722]

Are you sure you really understood TL? Speaker driver has FREE AIR RESONANT FREQUENCY. Fs. This is frequency where all mechanical parts of driver start to resonate, giving the excessive membrane excursion and impedance peak. This is bad for the sound at that point. Physics explains that any air volume of closed or ported box has it's own resonance (of enclosed air), which actually has much greater force/impact than pure Fs of speaker. So it's canceling Fs to it's own value. Does it really matter where you have your box tuned to resonate? Not much. But usually you tune the TL box to have Fs between resonance peaks of the transmission line cabinet, in order to cancel the natural resonance of driver. If you take a closer look and put your amp meter to speaker, you'll notice there are actually two resonant peaks in TL, side by side in low spectrum, and many more as frequency rise, but you damp that with taper, or pure line damping. I'm afraid your enthusiastic effort is not much worth in real life application, unfortunately. Stay well.

[@maasgoudswaard]

paddle hard hey man, iappreciate your comment. iam a enthousiastic Young speaker builder and i am Building a T-line speaker system. 2 Towers with 8" drivers tuned to 60Hz and a subwoofer with 2 8" drivers tuned to 40 Hz. is it okay for me to Just get the 1/4 wavelength of those frequenties and make that my line length and the line size the cone area, and Double the cone area of my sub. i also would like to decrease the line size going Down to reduce resonance. is this a good idee. would Love some advice. cheers a mutual fanatic

[@janinapalmer8368]

You did well and I was following each stage perfectly until you "threw in " that extra 1000 sq inches !! I thought you wanted to determine line length , volume and the quarter wave resonance ? If you have a large volume immediately after the driver the enclosure behaves more like a reflex enclosure with a very long port ... Have a good look at the construction of the original B&W Nautilus enclose ... you'll see what I mean 😀

[@svtcontour]

great video my friend.

[@Kareggan]

Great Video. Is there somewhere i can se these numbers and diagrams in metric instead?

[@rhalfik]

Very good and interesting video. Even today I watched another misinformed video about the topic, which is sad. One last thing though. Why does the port tuning have to be at the system resonance? The answer is it doesn't. I needs to be close to it, but it also can be slightly below. You can use a simple sim such as Leonard Audio and see the resulting response.

[@rhkips]

Does the resonant frequency math change for multiple drivers in the same enclosure? Obviously the port area does, but as far as tuning, should I treat it as one speaker?

[@ragtop63]

Interesting video... I would point out that the surface of the cone area also includes the characteristics of the surround. That value depends highly on the design of the driver and has its own set of equations to determine. To be safe, just use the manufacturer's spec. Also, the free-air resonance of the driver is constant because it is the resonant frequency of the driver system (because the driver is a system composed of many components) while NOT installed in an enclosure. Once the driver has been installed in an enclosure, the system changes and the "Fs" is now the resonant frequency of the driver PLUS the enclosure. In short, worrying about how the resonant frequency of a driver changes after installing it into an enclosure is an exercise in futility because the driver is only one part of the system.

[@bujoun76]

If I use multiple woofers does that mean I will need to add up all of the radiating surfaces and make that number my tube area? Example: if I use two 8 inch woofer I would need to have a tube with 16 inches of area?

[@derek0606]

I got a line length that was 30% shorter than the quarter wave length? According the Martin Kings method, the line length doesn't change, only the cross section area. Great video, I'm just making sure I am following this correctly. Made a test, my first transmission line enclosureusing this method and it doesn't sound bad. However, am I loosing output/bass extension using this method?

[@-IE_it_yourself]

9.21feet is 110ínches. this whole thing would be nicer if you didn't make the wacky front chamber of 1000cubic inches because without it, i would be the output of your formula would be pretty close to 1/4 the wave length of Fs. and if the dimensions are a bit off the exiting wave would is not just be a bit quieter, because the output would not be he peak of the wave but slightly less. but then a slightly higher frequency would be amplified. a phase change would only happen at 3/4 wavelength of Fs. Do you even need to use Fs really? could you tune the box to spit out different frequencies.

Square root of 100 is 10, so you need the internal enclosure size to be 10" x 10". Ah! ... The problem is that the subwoofer is 13.5" wide. So then you have to adapt the enclosure a little; 10 x 10 11 x 9 12 x 8 13 x 7 14 x 6 - Bingo!! Now you have a 14" Baffle, wide enough to house the subwoofer, and the depth of 6" Then you use the formula (above) to determine how low you want to go. Its really simple!

[@Strobe_rockets_]

Would it be possible to build tline for 3 8s

[@knudsenuk]

This is a great video. But it would help if you stopped referring to the drive units resonance as "free air" when it's being placed in a defined volume.

[@ledzep3971]

It is the free air resonance that is being tuned to the TL port.

[@knudsenuk]

well that would be pointless as the drive unit wont have a free air resonance in box thats the same as the free air resonance

[@ledzep3971]

The idea behind TL is to extend the bass performance down to free air resonance. The boost from the tuned tl gives a greater boost to the speakers output as free air resonance is approached and less output the farther away from free air resonce. TL can become tricky since the TL becomes resonant at 1/2, 1, etc so a port tuned to 30 hz would also be resonant at 60, 120 etc. For subs this is not an issue but for tower speakers this may create overly entusiastic bass response.

[@knudsenuk]

No its not. Its to make the rear energy from the drive unit in phase with the front giving a 3 db increase roughly in the area the system is tuned to.

[@RennieAsh]

Won't the Fs of the speaker change if you put it in a closed box with equivalent T-line volume? Fs is usually measured with no box, that's why it is "Free air".

[@eianwahgener7623]

+Rennie Ash heck the FS lowers as the sub is used. I do not tune a t-line to the FS, i tune to the desired bandwidth. I tend to tune to 31-32hz (around 97-109" of line). This gives me a useable bandwidth of around 16hz-48hz which is.. perfect for me. A lot of this seems like bad advice.

[@everzamora9031]

Eian Wahgener I'm a newbie at this tline box building. I have a rf power hx12 sub with an Fs of 26. so what you are saying is that in order for me to get tline length and portsize for the hrtz I want which is like 35hz. use the frequency instead of the fs? I'm confused

[@lawrencestanley8989]

When you added the "1,000" to Volx, you stated that it was in units of in^2, but if that is the case, then the formula does not account for how long the larger portion of the box is in relation to the calculated Line Area derived from the Driver Area. If instead the "1,000" is in units of in^3, then that factors in a larger Line Area of box (let's say 10"x10"x10"). The formula then graphs the total length of the Line Area where the Calculated Line Area Length is simply what remains after the known Larger Line Area. Is this correct?

[@bobbysteelsnDerbyCit]

I agree. That "1,000" in the equation is incorrect in that it is olny defining the "larger sections" cross-sectional area and needs the 3rd dimension to define the actual "volume" of said larger area.

Take my latest project of the JL Audio 13TW5v2 subwoofer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6qpd4uupK6kjsU - Getting Naughty with the JL Audio 13TW5v2 Subwoofer Effective Piston Area (Sd) 98.26 sq in / 0.0634 sq m JL Audio 13TW5v2 subwoofer Lets just round it up to 100 sq in. Square root of 100 is 10, so you need the internal enclosure size to be 10" x 10". Ah! ... The problem is that the subwoofer is 13.5" wide. So then you have to adapt the enclosure a little 10 x 10 11 x 9 12 x 8 13 x 7 14 x 6 - Bingo!! Now you have a 14" Baffle, wide enough to house the subwoofer, and the depth of 6" Then you use the formula (above) to determine how low you want to go. Its really simple!

[@michaeltrainor194]

I am new to audio can you just email me what I need to do for a rockford t1 12 inch I'll pay you via PayPal for the blue print lol

[@amananca]

+Michael Trainor a rockford fosgate punch will do really well in a small closed box. Rockford fosgate has free plans to build around your t1. (good choice, btw, rockford ;))

[@ManuFortiMcCoy]

You do not want to put in any "wadding" in a transmission line box.

[@johnwohlheter601]
