Re: Am I in the Right Place?
Going a little larger - to 5ft3 - adds a smidge more bass and remains properly damped. You can model it and see what I mean, or build a physical model and measure it. Going smaller reduces bass output, but again, remains properly damped. So that's a u...

Re: Pi3 vs Pi4
The posted measurements are for the fully upgraded models, but the differences in response aren't major. The benefit of upgraded midwoofer drivers is mostly reduced distortion because the upgraded drivers have shorting rings.
That's not the case with...

Re: Speaker stands for Pi 3 or Pi 4
Thank you so much, Wayne!
I will build new stands then!
I already have two tapped horn flanking subs but I was thinking to build two of your 3Pi subs to flatten the low section of response...
Yes, I definitely should change the horns! I think I'll order...

Re: Speaker stands for Pi 3 or Pi 4
Incredible looking speakers! I love 'em!
I've run my speakers on low stands, just like yours. I like the way they sound that way, but I do think there's an improvement in sound raising them to ear level and employing flanking subs. So that might be...

Re: Subwoofer amp and crossover
Wayne,
Thanks for the tip. Now I've gotten the deep dive on flanking subs and have a better idea of what I'm doing. With the idea of blending in that range I can understand the 12dB instead of 24dB taper.
My understanding is the subwoofer Amp isn't sup...

Re: Subwoofer amp and crossover
I would suggest using a flanking sub approach. Do a search for "flanking subs" here and on the internet at large. Lots of good information about it.
To describe in a nutshell, flanking subs are basically stereo subs with specific placement...

Re: Horn loaded Corona Build
Truly excellent.
I hear you about subs that are smaller than the midwoofer in the mains. It just seems "wrong." And you can get higher efficiency from a larger sub, so there's definitely an advantage in using a larger subwoofer.
But the...

Re: Crossover slopes
It's really just a guess without measurements. But it does sound like they intended to run the subwoofer up pretty high to match their mains. So it might just work as a flanking sub.
One thing you can do without measurements is to run the sub by its...

Crossover slopes
Hi Wayne,
There are a couple of old Triad subs in the house that were purchased back in the 1980's. Pulled them out to sell them but figured they might do OK as flanking subs as they aren't too large and would fit in my living room. Don't know their c...

Re: My 3π adventure
I meant to add some comments about the Helmholtz frequency in each of my responses above, but forgot. It was more important to me to discuss the use of flanking subs and multisubs, and the reasons for needing them. So I became involved in those respons...
