This is my TL right now. If I decide to keep this enclosure I'm going to finish the enclosure so it looks better.

Sweeeet...
Dude. I love TLs and you did a good job on that. I think you'll be happier with this if SQ is what you are desiring. Output? Go with the vented enclosure.
That is absolutely the fact. They simply don't get loud. However, you CAN use more of the amplifier if desired. They don't unload due to output, they unload (just as does a vented enclosure) due to playing frequencies below tuning. If you aren't trying to play below tuning, (i.e. you've got an IMPLEMENTED subsonic filter) crank it...
Good job.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Okay I'll set the gain a little higher becuase I have it really low. It's not that I'm looking for a lot of output but I want a little bit more, lol. Hopefully that will take care of my problem.
So I guess I have to finish it now, lol. Even my friends keep nagging me to make sure to finish it and not leave it bare MDF. I do have plans for it though so I'll definetly post some pics when it is truly finished.

The specs on my TL are:
About 85" length, stuffed dense near the sub and gradually less dense at the end. It starts at about 150% Sd and goes to around 50% or so. I used Acousta-stuff to stuff the line.
