Hi i have an Eminence driver 12" LTD-MK2 subwoofer from my in car thump thump days,
can not find a great deal of information on the internet I purchased it around 2001 it has not been used for years so i am trying to find out what size enclosure i need to build.
do not realy want to throw it away
It is to help out on my lampizator/endorphin p17 open baffle build eminence alpha 15A with saba greencones, the two alphas arrived this morning so got some work to do building baffle etc.And a bit of home theatre crash bang wallop
here is the parameters taken from this website

Those old Eminence subs (did you buy it from Maplin?) were really just cosmetically modified PA drivers. As such, they are not really suitable for home subwoofer use. Resonance frequency is too high and they need a big box.
How they got away with marketing them as car subs... well the market back then was a lot less clued up and developed.

i bought just one from a car audio shop in lincoln
now i know eminence did a range of speakers with blue and green foam surrounds with numbers printed across the the dust cap its not one of them
here is the email response from eminence when i enquired
Here are the T/S parameters for LTD-12MK2:
05-RE OHMS 2.65 13-FS HZ 37.85
06-LE MH .78 14-MMS GMS 57.10
07-QM 10.04 15-CMS mm/N .3095
08-QE .510 16-RMS NS/M 1.3536
09-QT .480 17-VAS LTRS 123.18
10-XMAX MM 5.60 18-SD SCM 532.36
11-BL TM 8.44 19-EBP 74.9
12-EFF % 1.27 20-SPL dB 93.1

If you scroll down far enough you'll see that this link is nearly a 'one stop shop' website with a bunch of different BR and sealed alignments along with clickable links to design your own sealed, BR, BP, TL alignments, though for strictly 'sub' duty, bjorno's T-TQWT that's not available there is probably the best choice overall.

hi bjorno
thank you very much for taking time on this, look forward to a box design
and thanks to others for positive replies
Hio Charlie,
Better late than never...

PS: Hope my cryptic pixels makes sense..

crypticly challenging
thank you very much for getting back regards design of enclosure
think i have got it about right

a few weeks before i get to build it as i am expecting delivery of 2 units of 2x4 minidsp to play about with my open baffle speakers.
will update as and when kind regards
