Hi Wayne,

After reading all of this positive reviews of everybody building 4 Pi's, I would like also to get the plans for 4 Pi and start slowly collecting the parts needed for 4Pi. Still not sure if I'll start with entry level ( all Eminence drivers ) or just wait for a very long time and go for upgraded version...

Best regards,
Max

Guys,

Next week I'll post some photos with the grills I'm working on The woofers are breaking in now Smile

I have a question on inductors, I've found on parts express 1.5mH, 1.0mH, but not 0.5mH 15AWG air core inductors. Can I use 0.47 or 0.55?

Yes, go with 0.47mH.

Vox grills arrived, I'll start the grills now.

I've noticed that when I made the recessed routing for the horn to make the front very flat I ended with the horn about 6mm forward than the original plans. Is this ok? They look great and sound the same so I think it ok, but I'm not an expert.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, that 1/4" shift only amounts to about 2°. It's totally fine.

Lucas,

I love how you did these and your woodwork is really great too! I have been planning to build some of these for a long time now, but it's ok that I didn' get to it, since now I can steal your design!!

Hehe, you are welcome David!
If you need help just ask. I think the feets looks great, you just have to continue the side panels with the tilt you like and then add some mdf sheets under to make them solid. I made them 3"x3", but I can check the heights if you want.

The binding post at the bottom is a nice detail too.
I forgot to put some magnets under the veneer so now I will have some magnets on the front, as I won't veneer again, at least not this year!

Good luck David!

Really nice looking build! I like the subtle slant to the cabinets.
