Wayne, could you please send me the 8 Pi plans as well as address a question for me. As an owner of Altec A7s, I find the 8PI very interesting and similar to the A7,frontload horn rear reflex. I have seen some of the guys on the Altec board Modifying A7s for more bass by blocking off the rear horn area from the lower reflex area, mounting an 18 inch JBL 2241 0r 45 (ported) and putting it together w/ an electronic crossover. Now, back to the 8 PI idea. The one thing I do not like about the design is that I would like to use JBL drivers. I know, the eminece driver is PERFECT for this application, and all that and agree,
BUT... I would still like JBL drivers. So, why not similarly use the jbl 2312 in the PI 8 and cut its rear area off (to standard mid horn size) from the reflex area below, and mount a JBL 18 inch in the lower part of the cab? One of the 18 inch 3 way corner horn crossovers should be easily adapted for this use? Is there enough volume in the lower part of the cab for this? (w/ JBL 2241 0r 45 )
Thanks, Russellc
