Design me a transmission line enclosure

Hi guys, I've been on another forum discussing my refit of a 12" sub into my logitech x530, its not really to my liking.
So, I think I'm gunna get..
Parts Express:Tang Band W8-740P 8" Subwoofer

Parts Expressayton SA100 100W Subwoofer Amplifier
So, I need an enclosure. Somebody recommended a transmission line enclosure.
This is for the home, but I don't want it to suck.
Could somebody design me a transmission line enclosure for this sub?

I would need diemensions of each piece and stuff.. I've never built a box before.. I can get ahold of tools/mdf.

a T-line is a very complex box design, If built properly it will sound amazing, if its out by a little, it will sound like complete ***!! i toyed with designs for all of last year, LOTS of building and I think out of 20 or so boxes I had 3 or 4 that worked GREAT! my best advice is, do alot of reading about them(simple google searches will bring up tutorials), and then build a different ones to see if you can get close to the sound your searching for!

I used a single 12" blaupunkt Velocity series woofer, and the box ended up being HUGE, Then I recalculated, added a 2nd woofer and it worked out not so bad, All around it was a very loud box, The only thing I can pass along tip wise, Just make sure you read alot of threads on the designs and post on some forums of people that design these for home use, they will offer a plethora of info and designs that worked and some that didn't work so well. This is where I did alot of my basic learning and then Of course trial and error!!! Just make sure you get your in car frequency and base your designs off it!!
