Hi folks!
I'm going to wake this old post back to life.
Long story short, what happened was that for about nine months ago
I purchased the 3Pi kit from tubemax for a very decent price. Big
Thank you to tubemax for handling the the packaging and shipping from
The Netherlands like a pro!
It's been a slow long build alongside more important and urgent stuff.
(What could be more important than your favourite hobby? )
Since the crossovers were already built, the only thing left for me
To do was to build the cabinets. I had a good browse around the web to
Find a cabinet design that pleaseed me.
I think the Pi3 cabinets are quite wide and the bass driver being "only" a 12" I've found it be a bit out of proportion. I would say that the Pi4 with a 15" looks way better.
So what I did to make it look slimmer was to give the baffle generously rounded corners which will be coloured differently from the straight surface... The colour scheme is still to be decided on, but it might be a black baffle with walnut colouring on the rest of the boxes.
The looks are of course important, but what really matters is sound quality
I've had the half finished speakers up and running for a few days now. With only a few hours of listening there's been both smiles and a few questionmarks...
I'll tune back in as soon as I have had some more proper listening time
