Hi Wayne,
I've been using JBL LE8T-H woofers in a "mini EWave" using JBL 6" square waveguides for a while. The boxes are from EV Sentry 100A monitors. I ran the cabinet sealed to get some of the boom out. Well, the surrounds finally dissolved all at once. So I'm thinking of selling the LE8T-Hs and looking for Eminence Alpha 8As. Not sure I can find them at a reasonable price in Japan yet. I noticed the Sentry box is about the same size as the One Pi box spec. Wondering about port dimensions. Maybe I should just ask for plans?
Hope all is well,
Vin

Great to hear from you!

I've sent plans to your email address!

Whatcha doin' in Japan? I remember from emails that you were there, but I thought it was temporary.

Got it, thank you, Wayne!

I sent an inquiry to HiFiDo in Tokyo to see if they want to buy my LE8T-Hs. If I had room for bigger boxes and space to work on stuff I'd keep them. They really sounded good in the 2 ways, but they needed a much bigger box.

I'm in Japan for family, I have a 7 year old boy. Back when I first came over I thought, "Man, we should get Pi Speakers over here." But I'm not much of a salesman and the language barrier is rough. Though my son is a pretty good translator. Smile
