I'm in the process of building my 2 Pi's and I have a really stupid question about the port length.

On the plans, is the listed 1 7/8" length the total length including going through the front 5/8" panel OR am I supposed to have 1 7/8" length total after going through the front panel (IE - the total length would be 2.5")?

I'm assuming the port length should be a total of 1 7/8" but I want be absolutely sure.

Also, what is the maximum power handling capabilities of the 2 Pi's?

Thanks,

The port is 1.875" total length, which includes panel thickness. In other words, the length of the duct that extends past the panel should be 1.25". I like to glue the duct inside the panel because I think it looks better and also there is more surface area joining the duct with the panel, so it is more secure. But however you fasten the duct, make sure it's 1.875" in total length.

Max power 100 watts? Hmmm. Somehow I just don't think that the Paramours I have on order will even come remotely close to that...

I was actually woundering if I could hook up the 2 Pi's to my 50 watt receiver to see how the Pi's sounded & maybe break them in a little until I get and assemble the Paramours.

That's good to know that I won't have to wait for the Paramours to get a taste of how all this work is going to turn out.

Now if I could just decided how I'm going to finish the speaker boxes (used particle board, and looking back on it now, I wish I had used Oak or something along those lines so I wouldn't have to deal with veneer or whatever I decided to slap on)...

Thanks again,
