transmission line enclosure

The TL is certainly NOT where you want to go for mid-bass - it's completely impractical there, due to their physical size. Are you asking about the whole system, and what I'd do, or are you asking about TL design? TLs are also notoriously INefficient. VERY good extension, and generally meant to be a true subwoofer system, you'd rarely, if EVER cross them over higher than about 60Hz, which is where I am with mine right now. Output monsters, they ain't, though.

I was asking if a TL enclosure would help me with bringing bass up front... I simply asked bc I have no clue how they work or what they are designed for... You've answered that it wont help me... So thank you, thats one less headache for me hahaha...

And yes, the MA's aren't just the best, but the store I work for didn't have a MA demo vehicle, So I put my truck to use.. And I get a nice price so I can't really complain... Most cars around here just seem to just be crammed full of mis-matched speakers and other crap, So from what I'm normally exposed to, MA sounds pretty nice... I really wish there where some of the brands around here that ya'll know about, but it's northeast mississippi... we're behind on everything... hahaha

Thanks for the help!

Haemphyst is the king of TL subwoofers on this forum, but a TL can be done for any part of the frequency spectrum including midbass or midrange.  I've seen TL-loaded tweeters... in any case, if you're really interested in transmission line design theory, HERE is a great place to start reading.

true..... but like I said, most vehicles around here just have thrown together mis-matched (mostly sony from different years) equipment.... 98% of people around here think it sounds great... but I smell what your steppin in...

Thanks, I'll deffinetly check it out!
