RL-i 8 in a transmission line

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I have asked about TL's in the past with little success, I would love to try the 8 in a TL or Snail Shell box, a sub that beefy in a really nice box could work some magic,

and since it needs a larger box the 8 would be the best choice for me to start with unless I could try a rl-i 10 with that design

(note: my initial attempt was to put eclipse alum 10's in a double shot style box but never could nail down plans)

i'm waiting for plans for a tl for my rl-i8..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hey kent, do you remember the box building competition on SD? well I would like to do something similar to the winner of the advanced class just without the plexiglass top and 10 layers of paint, but with a single sub, maybe dual would be cool, but 1 would be more fun

something around 1.75 cubes

I am thinking about using the RL-i eights for something like this as well. Mr Chill (Jack Frost) linked a great box a while back at CA.com, but I only dl'd the plans not the link. I will see if I can dig it up but it was a coffee table and the internals were in the shape of a W with the drivers at the lower outer corners and dumping into the room at the top center of the W. Looked cool and I like the idea of it being hidden in plain sight as a coffee table.

The Decware Wicked One?

http://www.decware.com

That's actually a 4th order BP, not a transmission line...

http://www.t-linespeakers.org has some good basics, but there aren't too many ready-to-go plans for a TL or folded horn for a subwoofer. There's always the Decware Imperial Horn - 28 cubes

I'd love to put a 15" LMT in a folded horn or TL when the time comes...I can only imagine

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

well not everyone has room for 28 cubes mister van

i'm down for some healthy competition. how do we want to judge this?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

oh I was not up for a competition, but I just was referencing a box that I liked, some very good ideas on the build

mister van

neener-neener

I'll do some more research, see what I can dig up.

[psycho72 1]

Yeah that's it, the wicked one. I was really checking out the plans at part's express too. There are some really nice looking designs that I would like to try.

[mrray13 30]

i've got the wicked ones plans sitting right here beside me..lol..

but i want a TL....

and effendi...i'd be game after a few week of steady employment..lol

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

We're getting our hands on 2 RL-I 8s and will be making a Double Shot for them. It should be pretty "magical" and we will post videos of it playing complete with a Termlab hooked up. We're also going to run them in a comp on the 22nd if we get them by then and you guys can see them going up against many different setups. Until then, have fun!!

hopefully there are numbers to follow on the snailshell. I don't recall seeing numbers from the pair of a-bahn 6"s that dropped pretty low. I noticed while watching it with a friend it seems as though it could just about always be talked over. I know none of my setups smallest being a single 8" Tc2+ ported similar to the Rl-i8 I'd assume could be talked over. You'd have to yell during breaks between notes and vocals . I've seen some other vids of snailshells like the one with the Treo SSX 12"s that didn't look too impressive either. But then again I wasn't too impressed with the CRX running a soloX 18" off two viper 2500d's that I beat at the last comp. He didn't have low lows and mine was tuned almost 10hz higher. I had alot more lows, didn't sound too good either lol. But I suppose a soloX off around 5krms isn't going to sound to good full tilt. But I'd also assume an MT 18" off a colossus wouldn't sound too great either. Not that I'm worried about sq much just don't like farty sounding bass lol.

I'd personally rather try the WO 4th order than a SS.

in a tl the line gradually gets smaller as it gets to the mouth, right?

wow nice collection, can I ask you point of view as to why you would take a 4th order box over a snail shell? I am very curious because I think the RL-i 8 beast would be sick to put in a TL or SS or some sort of technically advanced box
