Wayne, could a studio 1 pi be maid into a corner horn similar to your other horns? Just a though. Turn it around, and put a back on it similar to corner horns. Mike

You certainly could do this. I've built a few little tiny speakers in this configuration. There is one thing though - When the midrange and vocal overtones come from a rear-firing driver, then those with rising response are better suited for this kind of application; Adding a midrange driver to the front is even better. So if you plan on building a cornerhorn with a piezo in front, I'd probably forego the inductor in series with the midwoofer, to allow the rising response of the Alpha 10 to be generated without attenuation.
Thanks for the advice Wayne. What if I use a CTS ksn1142a piezo mounted in a horn lense on the front. are you suggesting to leave out the 0.5m h inductor that is in your plan? Mike

If you are planning to have the midrange covered solely by the rear-firing midwoofer, then I would expect better performance without a series inductor. But I think it might be even better still to have a forward-facing midrange. In this case, you would probably want to crossover the rear-firing woofer to match. Blend the two in the lower midrange, and they'll smooth each other and reduce floor bounce.
