im goin to be building new surround speakers and think pi1 is the right choice if possible i would love plans for them. bentblaabjerg@yahoo.dk best regards bent
thanks a lot i will post pictures after build panduro
Hello guys so sitting and ordering parts for my pi1 speakers. crossover calls for a 16ohm 10w resister, but my my preferred parts pusher only has 15 and 18ohm... will that make a differens or will that be ok? and if so should get 15 or 18 ohm? best regards panduro
hey wayne and thanks for your answer panduro
hello again, so now everything is ordered and I'm itching to make sawdust i would like to flush mount the drivers but i have not received them yet so i do not know how much i need to remove with my router.... can anybody tell me the dept and distance i need to remove to be able to flush mount them? best regards panduro
Here are the datasheets, with dimensions: Vifa DX-25 Alpha 8
ok thanks again found the needed measurement for the vita, but not the alpha . best regards panduro
It does show the inside baffle cutout and full outside dimension of the Alpha 8, which tells you how wide to cut the recess groove. But you're right, it doesn't show the depth. Make it 3/8".
So I finally Got my shit together and has made sawdust... The first set of pi1 are almost done, waiting for speakerterminals from vender and has to figure out How to get the pi symbol on it also... Coudnt find port as per plans so used some correctly sized i have had lying around for years. I finished Them with red autolacker that matches the fabric on my soffit basstraps. So after Having used Them for a week as main speakere both for movies and music this is my thoughts about the pi1. Fabulous value for the money spent... They are by no means sublime in any region, but are coherent, male voices has Enoughf body, female voices arent schrichy despite Being a speaker thats a bit bright sounding. It seems like it could use a bit more distance to lisening position than i Can give Them for optimal soundstage. It Can handle a good volume, but sounds stressed at reference level when set as large speaker in preamp. I have not yet lisened to Them with subwoofers, they Will benifit alot from subwoofers but i have enjoyed Them emensly without so far(messing some omph as expected). In a small hometheater like mine(13,5x 11,5 feet) i would not hesitate in doing a 7 pi1 + subwoofers system, that is actually what im gonna do, Well actually it Will be 6.4! My plan was making pi7's as fronts this winter but im very pleased with pi1right now so Will make more of those.. But in time i Will still build pi7:) Thank you for your Big contribution to the diy people Wayne Best regards Panduro
