I have a question about the mid-horn enclosure for the 7-pi Studio. I am going to try to set up the construction to allow for some horizontal angle adjustments, but that feature may require that the mid-horn enclosure be modified for clearance when placing into the corner. What are the restrictions associated with modifiying the mid-horn enclosure? Size, depth, height, width. Obviously the driver itself and the horn "flare" dimensions are a limiting factor, but are there other restrictions to consider?

As I recall when I first asked a similar question about the mid horn was that it just had to be at least 1/2 cubic foot. ( I dont think it is possible for you to make it any smaller) apparently it isnt that critical about size. More to prevent a back wave off the rear of the driver then reflecting out of the corner and messing with the sound off the front of the horn. Is that about right wayne? Hope this helps.Russellc

What I was thinking is that I could use the same enclosure for the high and mid horns, essentially making a taller enclosure for the mid-horn so that I can pull the sides in a bit for left/right clearance. I don't want to make it very long because then I lose range of motion due to a long tail sticking out the back. Of course, without looking at the detailed plans, there may be very little I can do because of the real estate taken up by a 10" driver sitying behind a horn. It may already be as small as it can be.
