Pioneer B20FU20-51FW 8 TL?

[aznboi3644]

hey everyone this is my first time being here...I'm new to home audio stuff. Normally I design and build sub boxes for me and friends.

I was wanting to build a transmission line for a couple of these speakers.

Should I design the enclosure based on the 1/4 wavelength of the drivers FS??

Will it even sound good in a TL??

I'm pretty sure there is an ML-TL for these... the BIB and Chang. Half-Chang & Curvy Chang are popular. Add an appropriate tweeter and these are reported to so amazing well (and not only for their price.

I just built the Half chang and its definitely something to consider, bass is powerful but not overpowering with no immediate need for a subwoofer, I'll post a full review when they are pretty enough to show off

Using this line of reasoning, I'd never post one.

Greets!

I don't see why not, it's worked well in a wide variety of cab alignments me and others have designed/built already, though only Nelson Pass's is a TL per se AFAIK, which is buried in this recent thread along with some other designs: Why not much on Pioneer B20 MLTL?

Anyway, typically you design it a bit < 1/4 WL of Fs since the stuffing's resistance will shift Fp lower. MJK's Classic TL alignments will calc them based on Polyfil's resistance: http://www.quarter-wave.com/Theory/Alignment_Tables.pdf

Very true! I will have to post it soon, maybe tomorrow...

I did a search for the half chang...to looks like it will fit the bill

I tried searching for the how to on building it...came up with nothing.

Anyone got a link??

Thank you

Ha! That's coming from the man who used to build speakers with nothing but hand tools in the parking lot of his apartment building.

I resemble that remark! If I couldn't 'slam' a pair together in an afternoon I was goofing off way too much. Not that having power tools helped, though in my defense it was just a proof-of-concept made from house repair scraps to showcase Dave p10's doped/plugged 40-1197s:

Anyway, I normally left the finishing to the end user. For myself I didn't care since they were always big/loud enough that hiding them behind open weave drapes was easiest.
