I've been lusting after these for a while, but I have some questions.

How far apart and how high off of the floor should these be ideally? I would like to make a custom console/tv stand combo that contains them.

Are the baffle cut outs different between the two woofer options?

Can I have the plans for the 3 and 4 pi subwoofers as well? I would like to consider incorporating them into the design.

Thanks, Kyle

Set the speakers at ear level height. They should be outside the listening area, back enough that their axes cross in front of listeners. See the link below.

No, the cabinet is the same regardless of options chosen.

You've got mail!

I've sent plans for the four π mains and the three π subs. There is no four π model subwoofer. The next step is the 12π hornsub, which is overkill.

The best way to incorporate the subs with the mains is in a flanking sub configuration. Each main speaker has its own subwoofer set slightly below, beside and behind. This approach smooths room modes and self-interference from nearest boundaries.
