1)
People often ridicule something they have no experience with if it appears as something they wont like. Wouldn't it be nice to able to take your 6" woofer hi-fi speakers out to the deck for a party? Too bad they would explode, and a pi speaker with the right drivers and crossover can sound so much better too.

2)
The larger woofers generally provide better dynamics at much higher efficiency than small woofers. Thats the trade off. Small woofers work great with lots of power and give you a more compressed sound. For smaller more liquid tube amps, the higher efficiency speaker gives you better head room with less distortion.

3)
If you took a pile of sound reinforcement gear to your living room and just plugged it in. It would sound pretty bad at your house too. Using professional level drivers offers you some of the lowest distortion products available. Audiophile drivers are designed to give you great advertising power. Pro sound components are designed to give you performance. Its now up to the system designer to combine the right components and use the right filtering network to give the best sound quality. Sound production is different from sound reproduction. Using the same components requires a few different routs.

4)
If you slap gray carpet on your BMW it might then look like a Ford Pinto. The best part of buying the kits you have. Is that you can make them look any way that suits your decor the best.

Here is a pair of tower 2 Pi's with a veneer a little on the wild side.

Enjoy the kits and good luck,
