Hey guys,
I need help from all of you out there doing research on TL enclosures,
I am reading and researching in depth on them and experimenting on fabricating a few,
I would like all of you to share all the research material, websites, magazines or any other stuff on TL that you got.
Thanks to all in advance.SMILE

Are we talking a true TL enclosure or a serpintine vent system here? There is a difference.
True TL enclosures use a single vent opening at the bottom of the enclosure and it tapers to a smaller dimension at the top of the box. This design has been around for a long time and best known in high end home audio applications.
How's this for starters?

There ya go pal... have at it and enjoy the readings. Can do a google search and just type in "Transmission Line Speakers" and see what ya get.

Thanks Dave, I am talking about true TL enclosures and not those folded slot port ones..
Well, thanks for the links , but i guess i have them all and have gone through them in detail. I have also learnt the Quater Wavelength theory from that site very well and am already making one enclosure on the basis of that theory.
I just want to make it sure that I am not loosing any kind of information out there floating in the Cyber space.

Guys please send in a few if you got them.

I remember that one. Amazing amount of planning, details and construction time went into this project. Guys' a bit fanatical and has money to burn, by the looks of things. Crazy... one man studio huh?

Yeah.. but i am sure it must be a Ground shaking experience sitting in that studio...GRIN
and i know another thing for sure too.. those subs wont last for long,,, cause they are all paper cones and he hasnt treated the underground construction for moisture and humidity.THINK

That may or not be true. Fresh brick and motor tend to attract moisture and absorb it well. If he used drywall to cover the brick & mortor, it will really keep things dry in the tunnels for a long time. (several years)
Both materials are very "hydoscopic" in nature and draw moisture out of the environ for several years. So, depending on how he did it, should not be a problem with the woofers as there is also a notable air flow created when the subs are pumping air.
If he does get moisture problems, he will note high humidity in that main room as a signal that something is amiss.
