It's taking me longer than I thought, but there's progress. I thought anybody interested in the 8pi would like to see a nearly framed up pair. I have the back to finish - the plan is to make it removable. I'm also thinking I'll use wood screws and a gasket to make the front baffle removable. I think the dimensions are pretty close to what Wayne intended, 24 wide, 16 deep and 36 tall. Halfway back the sides break and taper to 12 inches wide at the back. Total volume is 7 cu ft, but the horn and material takes up about 1.2 cu ft, and I've recessed the front baffle 1" so it should be down to around 5.5 cu ft. The front ports are 1.375 circles ( I didn't have a 1-5/8 cutter) cut on 3" centers and the ovals cut with a saber saw. That works out real close to 16.8 sq inches total area, per Wayne's recommendations.

I'm putting a page up with all the pictures I've taken. This has been fun. Let me know if you have any questions, or suggestions to make the descriptions more helpful.

• Building the 8pi

I would like to try and build something like the 8 pi for a secondary system down the road.

I would like to say hi to Wayne and the others, I have been busy with a lot of things lately and not posted here recently, but do take the time to read the posts when I can. Not Pi system, but I am taking the plunge and waiting for my Edgarhorn system parts to be shipped from Ca, Bruce is still finishing my horns yet.

I am looking at reassembling my 4 Pi clone(2226 and 902 on Edgarhorn). It is interesting how I fought the urge to use 1.6Khz crossovers back a couple of years ago, but I have been experimenting with lower crossovers, even using different tricks to help them along. In the end, I see that is the best for my 2 ways with horns.

Later, Ron

By the way, another project of mine will to use a JBL 4648 cabinet (8 cu' tuned to 40hz) using one 2226J and a Edgarhon where the other 2226 would go. Not sure if I want to try a sealed system and powered sub, or a EBS alignment. Too many things going on now to worry about at the moment. but will find out one of these days.
