I'm planning to build 4-PI pro speakers. I've been advised by one cabinet maker that it is better to build with the horn outside the box, placed freely on top of the cabinet. The idea is to offer some freedom to move it a bit with respect to the woofer cabinet. My experience with speakers is that small toe-in adjustments do matter, but I've never fooled around with doing it with separate drivers. Could folks with experience here comment whether this is the way to enlightenment or madness? Thanks in advance, - Ken

Hi Ken! Whether you mount the horn on top of the box or inside the box is up to you. It's a matter of aesthetics, really. If you mount the horn on top, be sure to keep the mouth flush with the face of the cabinet and keep the woofer to tweeter distance the same. Wayne

adding another panel onto the front but I was concerned about messing with the port length.....it would be very difficult to shorten the wooden port on the 4Pi pros, it would have looked cool a solid hardwood baffle....next time. Kelly
