Busy printing.
The centre line of the transmission line is about 0.8 m long. If undamped, this would have a 1/4 wave resonance at 106 Hz, this is quite a bit lower than the 175 Hz resonance of the driver in free air. However, the plan is to heavily dampen it to avoid issue with resonances. There may be a small amount of reinforcement around 106 ish Hz which would be helpful too. The little driver should see a perfectly absorbent transmission-line and give a clean and clear response with a pleasant and gradual bass roll off.
Going for too long a line was purposful, deeper clean bass, even if attenuated is quite nice. A roll off at the resonance would be perhaps a bit too high. Considering that they will generally be playing music from a PC that's running Equaliser APO, with a profile tailored to flatten their response and extend the bass a bit, longer seemed better than shorter. Also it looks cool.
