I'm looking to build an efficient speaker to be powered by my Bottlehead Stereomour 2A3 Amp. Several weeks ago, I posted this (https://www.reddit.com/r/diysound/comments/584r1k/designing_a_crossover_for_a_conical_hornloaded/), where I got some fantastic advice. Unfortunately, the one thing I failed to check was the size - what I had designed would in no way fit in my living room.
SO - back to the drawing board. It seemed that another logical option might be looking at a quality full-range driver in a larger cab, perhaps horn loaded or in a transmission line. I stumbled across the Tang Band W8-1808, which appears to be a fantastic driver (and by most reviews, is), well suited for a larger bass-reflex or t-line enclosure. I decided to attempt a transmission line design.
I've designed the cabinet using Martin King's alignment tables (unfortunately it appears the MathCAD program is no longer available for modelling, so I couldn't do much actual testing). Here are the specs:
Tuned to 40hz. .33333 Taper along the transmission line. Approximately 66.8' tline length Cabinet volume: 3.174 Ft3
Here is a link to renderings and drawings of the speaker cabinets.

Greatest hits of all time. I'm looking for feedback on the design, as well as any advice one might offer on tuning a transmission line OR if anyone has any impressions of the TB-W808. Thanks!
