I'd like to have a look at the 6pi plans to compare them to the 7pi's I'm considering.

Thanks Wayne!~

Hmmm...
It didn't show up. I've gotten your e-mails before. Maybe the attachment is too big?

No, probably not. I'm at a customer site in Kansas City this week, so maybe the internet is kinda wonky here. Anyway, I've resent, so check your mail now. Should be at both addresses.

Got it!

So, after looking at both the 6 and 7 Pi plans, I'm trying to understand the tradeoffs. If you don't mind, I'd just like to make sure I got it right:

-both the 6 and 7 Pi have an identical crossover
-the 6 Pi cabinet is larger (2.75cu.ft tuned to 31hz)
-the 7 Pi cabinet is smaller (2.35cu.ft tuned to 39hz)
-the 6 Pi has more bass gain and extension than the 7 Pi
-the 6 Pi has less maximum output (112db should be plenty Very Happy )

If the above is true, I think the 6Pi may work better in my room. It is the main living area - 19'x34' with large openings to the rest of the house and a partially vaulted ceiling. The system will be used for music and movies, and I am hoping to watch movies without needing a sub. I might be asking alot of two 12's, but it seems the 15's won't go deep enough without a much larger enclosure. Does this all sound kosher?

All that's right, you sized 'em up. I'd like to add that both cabinets are aligned slightly overdamped. This gives a slow gradual response curve, and both are pretty similar really.
