I don't know what I should do this will be my first transmission line and I think I am going to use a Dayton 2khz crossover with a Dayton RS225-8 8" woofer and a Dayton DC25T-8 1" titanium tweeter for each side of the 2 channel pair or the two transmission
 
Umm look at what lol after that the message ended umm I don't know really much about home audio it's a whole different beast than car audio

Ya any suggestions on tweeter, woofer, and c/o combo keep in mine I got ripped off on my receiver and the sub out rca does not work may possibly just be in need of resolver I havnt cracked it open but everything works fine and as for quite some time sorry I'm a talker but with the receiver having no rca out for sub that I would want a decent low end from. My fronts this is for a 5.1 channel setup. I need satellites and center too but I'll tackle that later
 
My 2-way RS duets paired the RS225-8 in an ML-TL with an RS28F crossed at 1400 Hz with a Cauer-Eliptical filter. The performance is quite good and this speaker took 1st Place at PE's 2013 MWAF.

What Is the component I need for the cross over and is this fairly easy to make crossovers I usually only solder wires together I don't like circuit board they are too tiny and cramped

Is that box transmission line of it is obviously is probably a double fold of axis port but what is the quarter wave set at

Would the port being off axis make a difference & on sound or are a majority of the frequencies under 80hz so they are are like bass note and it isn't directional sound waves

Also I joined this fourm today haha so how do I like photos from my iPad so you can see them I was using a calculator from online and have the results in my camera roll
 
I'd build the design Paul posted (if I recall things correctly, Mark K was involved in the filter design there). You will probably not even get close to that quality if you go out on your own. As to combining 8" woofers with 1" tweeters, once there was a time... Take notice that such designs suffer from a power dip in the 1 to 2kHz region. That may be beneficial or bad, depending on what room you are using.
 
I am curious about the circumstances that might make it beneficial?
In the (unlikely?) event of a listening room with acoustic very hard boundaries considered at mid frequencies a lack of off-axis response reduces reflected sound.
There's also a speaker involved effect: when using a narrow dispersing tweeter (horn) the increasing directivity of a relatively large mid unit matches this horn better than a small cone.
 
It seems you've decided on the line's configuration and dimensions without regard to what the woofer would require. You need to choose the woofer, then design the line to work with that woofer for optimum results. If you're interested in the RS duets send me a private email with your email address and I'll send you a writeup.

So I was thinking about 80 inches long for the port and also would I want to use poly fill or something in the enclosure or just leave it I heard you have to build the poly fill into the design too
