Posted April 26, 200520 yr Admin 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)
April 27, 200520 yr i'm waiting for plans for a tl for my rl-i8..wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 27, 200520 yr Author Admin 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 funsomething around 1.75 cubes
April 27, 200520 yr 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.
April 27, 200520 yr ^^The Decware Wicked One?http://www.decware.comThat'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
April 27, 200520 yr Author Admin 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
April 27, 200520 yr 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.
April 27, 200520 yr 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..lolwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

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!!-John Nolte

May 14, 200520 yr 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. Tsome of my toys, so my reply isn't wwop

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
