I will have to check out the mounting hardware...I just wish it had said they didn't come with it. I finished putting the cork gaskets on the horns and woofers on the pair of 4pis I have finished, and all of the new headcap screws pulled everything together nice and tight. Now I will focus on making them pretty before moving on to finishing all the other speakers and subs. I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Using my Onkyo 709 in conjunction with a pair of Crown XLS2000 amps in bridged mode (1,300W RMS) I turned the amps to the 50% mark and the AVR to the 100% mark, I figured the each 4pi would receive a max of ~600W. Did that with TranSiberian Orchestra music. Needless to say, it was much...much louder than what we could stand for more than 15 seconds. There was, in fact, no distortion and it was indeed clean at that SPL level. I could probably get away with running a pair of them off one XLS2000, but I already have my server rack configured to use three of them in bridged mode for the LCR channels. One thing is certain ... running each of them on its own I will have NO clipping issues whatsoever.
