It's not available, but I did do some initial investigations, basic models, etc. So sometimes when people are looking at prosound applications for my midhorn, I point to those 9π Hornresp models as something to think about.
The thing is, my main market is home hifi and the prosound stuff is something I only got involved in sort of on a dare. I was asked what I would do to make a prosound sub, to improve upon the LABsub, and the 12π hornsub was my response. That's what I would do. It become a fairly ambitious project, and I ended up developing flat pack kits, cooling plugs and OEM drivers to fit the cooling plugs.
The next logical step was to build a top box to go with the 12π hornsub. I fooled around with a couple ideas, one was the 9π, and another was a hung line array, based loosely on the three π or four π. My thought was to rotate the speaker, laying it on its side, and possibly using a trapezoidal cabinet to make it possible to make a curved array, if needed. The horn flare (now beside the woofer) would be rotated to the proper orientation, perhaps putting two of them beside the woofers to decrease CTC distance between horn flares. That was just a thought, something I'd work through, but basically I never got to the point of completing either the 9π or the flown array. That was about the same time 'lil Eddie was born, and now days, I don't seem to have as much time.
