For designing a TL, Martin King's software rules.

What driver have you chosen? And why?

onis_uk · 29th July 2004, 10:52 AM

well i have chosen a eclipse 8708.4 because its a sub ive already got, not to sure if it will be good for a tl box ??
where can i get hold of this Martin King's software ???
cheers dom

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a pay-for-use service in our new "Market Place" forum to address this very question?

Looks like a win-win-win situation to me.

I certainly am not suggesting anything disparaging about the enormous and gracious contributions of Martin King to the world of TL design, nor am I suggesting there isn't a world of enjoyable learning to be had searching this thread or the internet in general.

But that said, if someone wants to learn to drive, must he first learn to build a car?

so x. onasis what directon would you point me in i went to the martin king web site www.quarter-wave-com but couldnt find much that was going to help me with the design of my enclosure ....

onis_uk · 29th July 2004, 01:53 PM

im wanting to construct something along the lines of this....

onis_uk · 29th July 2004, 01:59 PM

oops for give my ignorance but i think that pic is of a folded horn and not a tl

The problem, Onis, is that there is no quick and easy answer. There is much to learn. Searching this site will find many threads delving into the use of Martin King's worksheets.

You'll have to download MathCad to get his worksheets to work. Then tinker, learn and play with it. The learning curve is different for everybody.

That was one reason for my first post.
Here's a post to read.

And welcome to DIYAudio.

would i be better oto scrap my tl idea and build a folded horn instead...

x. onasis · 29th July 2004, 03:17 PM

LOL

You've hijacked your own thread.....

Post the parameters of your woofers.

Check this search out. Be sure to read Kneadles thread for something completely different.

And Planet 10's site too.

Save the backloaded horn project for your second one, and those nice new full range drivers.

Have fun.
