So I have been researching what kind of box I want to build for my next subwoofer setup. I have done sealed and ported boxes before, which worked fine for their application, but I wanted to do something more involved and try to learn a thing or two on the way. So while researching I came across what some article called T-line, or Transmission line boxes. In the article it stated that this was the most efficient and accurate box to make, but due to their size it usually is not practical for use in cars. However, I am not trying to squeeze 13, 47" subs in the back. I would like a single or dual 10's, perhaps a 12 depending. So after hours of reading articles online and browsing several car audio forums, I decided to work out a design for a single 10" Rockford Fosgate P1. Took a while to get all the dimensions and parameters right, but I did it.
Now, fast forward to today. I decide to consult a local car audio shop on my idea, as I purchase from them with some regularity, and he was vehemently opposed to the idea. First he said it would be too big, then that it has poor frequency range response, then that it would be heavy and cost me too much gas mileage.
I say all of that to ask this question:
What is your take/experience with Quarter wave/t-line enclosures?
