DIY speaker enclosure, maybe TL?


I'm planning to make a pair of speaker enclosures for Accuton drivers, and people have told me I should go for a Transmission Line type. I've tried to read on the Internet about TL's, and realize that while the audiophile community owes a huge debt to Martin J. King and George Augsburger, their stuff belongs to an engineering grad school curriculum, with me being stuck somewhere around the 6th grade. I've ordered a couple of books, Vance Dickason's Cookbook for one, but before they arrive, can anyone guide me toward a practical design? I can do the carpentry but the details of a design still seem a distant goal. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have tried transmision lines MLTL Martin King design and ported etc. Sealed cabinet is always better IMHO, I put a big chunk of plywood covering the ports of Martin Kings design for Lowther DX3 and things got much better, I also changed the Lowther for Fostex 207, I get better balance and less detail.
Find a good quality woofer that will go really low and build from that, go for a 3 way!
Martin Kings is a good design but I always hear some reverb in the bass.
