I have a pair of JBL 2360 horns with PSD3003 drivers. These horns are huge - like 3' long(2 pieces) with an exit size of 2.5'x2.2'. I'm thinking of just mounting them on top of my 4 Pi's and reworking the crossover to be 3 way. I like the midrange throatiness of the PSD3003 and this horn - so 3 way xover at 800 hz and 12 khz is what I was thinking or maybe I should just go 2 way and use the standard Pi crossover.

That would make an excellent system. You may be able to run as a two-way, but I think you'll probably want to add a super-tweeter. Those PSD3003's have gotten rare and Eminence isn't planning to have another 2" exit driver ready for nine months. So hang on to 'em.
Not sure if the PSD2002 would have a lot to add if crossed at 12KHz as it runs out of steam by 16KHz. A pair of APT80 crossed at 5KHz might be a better choice.

Personally, I like using a good 1" exit driver with top-octave compensation to compensate for falling power response. That will get you to 18kHz. If you want to use a larger compression driver, you'll need to use a super-tweeter for the top octave. In that case, I'd probably go with something like the JBL 2405.
