I see the 10pi's are designed for a 15-inch driver. Is it possible to "adapt" for an 18-inch woofer, which would mean making the woofer "box" bigger. A lot of times multiplying ALL the dimensions by 1.2 was the suggested way, but is that what is necessary here, or are using 18's just plain a bad idea. Thanks. John

Having a Mac, whithout the translator program I can't open the PiAlign file you mentioned. At this point you've already let me know the 18's I have won't work anyway as they have a Vas of 17.77, a Qts of .37 (which is higher than you recommend) and an Fs of 24.2. One of these days I'll have to get a computer that runs Windows just for projects like this. Thanks for all your help on this. What is your thought on the EV15L / EV 15B. ? Thanks!!!! John

Those EV's are great speakers. I'm a big fan of JBL Pro and the new Eminence Magnums, but there are plenty of other good drivers I like a lot too. Your EV's, TAD's and Altecs are good examples.How about using a PC emulator on your MAC? PiAlign.exe is an "old school" DOS program that doesn't take much to run. So you'll be able to use it just fine with an emulator.
