Sorry 'bout that Gar. No offense was meant to you or to Bill. Your speakers are awesome, and that horn looks great. I'll bet it sounds great too.

You know, there isn't a lot of material under 50Hz anyway, so having something strong above 50Hz is great and can sound thunderous. I only meant to point out that while the three π isn't a sub, it does generate deep bass. So for a sub to get underneath it and provide significant output takes something tuned pretty low.

A horn shifts to being a direct radiator below its passband, and since the rear chamber is a rather small sealed box, it has a hard time generating a lot of energy under that point. That's why I wanted to provide a suggestion. If you were running one π speakers or something smaller, a 50Hz horn would have made sense to me but in this case I would have preferred a subwoofer with lower cutoff, that's all.
