Hey Wayne,

Well I was sitting on my couch and envisioning my four, huge 10 pi's flanking either side of my crappy television, and I started thinking about home theatre!!! I figure if I ever had a big, big tv room, that I could use these four as front left and front right and the two sourrounds. But... I would have no center channel!

I also figure that another 10 pi would never fit properly standing up under a tv set, and you couldn't place it off to the side.

Here's what I came up with. The picture that I attached is a top view. As you can see it's basically a 10 pi, but rather then one large horn, there are two smaller ones, each taking up half the woofer's cone area, each with half the port area and volume. Same box dimensions, just a smaller horn loading off both sides.

What do you think? Would this have the same effect or no? Also, would it cause the setup to act as an MTM speaker?

Thanks.

Adam

Sorry, port area should be mouth area. I would probably add two 4" ports so each side had a port loading into it.

You're talking about a "W-fold" like used in the Klipsch La Scala instead of the spiral fold normally used in the ten π. That's fine as long as path, area and expansion rate remain the same.
