i was first interested in the 4pi speaker kit, but upon further reading it seems the 3pi with a 12" woofer is more appropriate in an HT application (with 4x 15" subs).
any thoughts? also, why is the 3pi cab bigger than the 4pi?

I'd say they're both equally competent for home theater or hifi applications. Both have similar characteristics, tonal balance, directivity, etc. The four π speaker is slightly more efficient because of the larger midwoofer.
Really, you should make your choice based on the midwoofer family you prefer. If you want AE, go with the three π. If you want JBL, go with the four π instead. Of if you plan on using the Eminence drivers, the four π has the cast-frame Omega 15, whereas the three π has the stamped frame Delta 12LF.
