Well I am about a month away from sound heaven. I ordered 4pi (upgraded with JBLs), 2pis, and 3pi subs about 5-6 months ago. My cabinet maker is currently making the boxes and speaker stands. He is veneering the boxes with oak and making the stands out of solid oak. I decided to stain with the color "Early American" and use a gloss varnish. I cannot wait to find out how everything is going to look and most importantly sound. (Anyone in Chicago have 4pis?)

I am going to use this thread to ask questions as I proceed with the build. My first question is how do you attach the R13 insulation? I am thinking spray glue but I am up for different ideas based on others success.

I run a bead of white glue on the surface to be covered with R13. Spray adhesive is probably much easier.

Don't have them yet, but also thinking about getting 4pi's in Chicago. Would you mind telling me who your cabinet maker is? Thanks.

Most updated. Components are all fitted. Now time to stain and varnish and install internal components.

Looks like a hell of a system!

What kind of wood are you building the 4Pis with? From the 4PI photo it looks like MDF but I thought I saw a ply or two of ply?

ARe you going to pull the driver out before you stain? I would pull all the stuff out.. woofers, horns, etc and then stain and do the varnish.

4Pis up front. 2 Pis in the rear and then the two 3 PI subs?
