A dealer is attempting to sell me a Eclipse 12" housed in a TL alignment cabinet. I didn't get a chance to hear it yet so I thought about asking you guys what you thought about the TL alignment and it's use in car audio.

Thanks

transmission line is great, but for a quarter-wave enclosure for a 12" sub, that box would be extremely big.
Can't go wrong with Eclipse's Ti or Al lines though. great subs.

TL boxes give extended low end response with no coloration (unlike ported boxes) so they are extremely accurate and offer good cone control, but they tend to be rather large enclosures, and not all subs work in a TL setup. Not the easiest boxes to build.

Hi Glasswolf. I saw the cabinet and it was larger than what I originally envisioned my cabinet to be. However, my Toyota Corolla trunk internal measurements are as follows:

21"high

62" wide

32" deep

The cabinet would take up about half of my trunk space if my judgement is correct. I will get measurements when I have a chance to hear it in my trunk with my choice of music.

I will give my impressions and take some photos as well on Wednesday the 23rd.
