Greetings from downunder. Looking using the 4Pi and 1Pi for a surround system. Would love to get the full kits but the shipping downunder is crazy. As an alternative looking to buy the crossovers and sourcing the drivers locally.
So question is is there a 1Pi crossover? and do the plans and driver specs come with the crossovers.

We sell the crossover boards for the larger models, both fully assembled and just the raw board that you can populate with your own parts. But we don't sell the crossover for the smaller ones. The crossover for the smaller speakers is simple, and we build it into the cable assembles used to connect the terminal plate to the drivers.
But I'd be happy to send you the plans. You can source the drivers locally, and buy whatever else you need from us. You can probably get all the stuff you need there except the crossover boards and horns for the four π speakers. You can buy those from us.
Also, don't forget flanking subs. You'll want to include those for best results.

So 3x 4 Pi crossovers with three H290C waveguides should cover me with rest of the drivers/ parts sourced locally. Postage on the checkout still comes to $310 with USPS. Is this correct or is there a cheaper route. Wouldn't have thought the above components weight much.

Shipping is just so expensive these days, isn't it?!! The horns are kind of heavy, and they aren't small. That's the thing that pushes the shipping costs up. You can buy the boards unstuffed to save some weight, and that will help. But the horns can't be made any lighter or smaller.
Look around and see if you can find (3) H290 horns locally. It's possible there are still some available in Australia or New Zealand. That would really help keep the costs down.
