For those of you wanting to experiment with the multi-sub concept, I found an inexpensive crossover that you can use. Get one or two of these and use them with existing amps. If you don't have amps, this won't help, but if you do then these little crossovers will let you press them into service easily.

Wayne, appreciate the pauper's alternative.
May I ensure that I understand this idea correctly? Here's the idea: a Pioneer M-25 power amp 120W per channel ( http://www.silverpioneer.netfirms.com/m25_amplifier.htm ), each channel feeding into Pyle active X/Os, each which control a subwoofer.
I have a Parts Express cart full of Pi7 drivers ,etc. and would like to complete the order with two recommended subwoofer drivers and the crossovers. If anyone can recommend subwoofers from PE and some cabinet plans, I'd be very grateful. I will build the subwoofer cabinets myself. There are so many designs out there, but I'd like a design optimised for my specific situation. I will build Pi7 with JBL 2226H. The dedicated, acoustically treated listening room dimensions are 6m (20’) X 3.8m (12.36’) X 2.3m (7.64’). Link to room: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=183941&highlight=dedicated

That's the idea. We have plans available for subs, and that's what I would recommend. We have kits available too, not just for the subs but also for the mains. Check our shopping cart for prices, available options and for more information.

Are there plans available for the 3Pi subwoofer kit?
Is the subwoofer used in 3Pi the Eminence Lab 12 GenII 12" driver?
Thanks in advance, Ant.

I'm sending you the plans. You can use either the PI-12 or the LAB12 woofer in it, either will work just fine. We only carry the PI-12, but you can use either one in the three π subwoofer.

Our PI-12 woofer is essentially the same as LAB12, but machined to fit our cooling plug, used mostly in the 12π hornsub. That's the only difference, ours has the pole piece machined to a tighter tolerance.
