Bringing up this old thread to ask a somewhat related question.

In consideration of saving space in the room,
using a forward firing 2226h bass bin under the 7pi (or should I say, under a pi mid horn and tweeter horn) it looks like one could save approximately 8" of depth............ but.........

Has anyone tried this with their corner horns?-
.
1- What does the bass bin of the 7pi bring, that a forward firing 2226 would not?

2- Is there acoustic loading on the bass driver of the 7pi...like the mid horn and cd horn above it?

3- If so, is there an increase in spl and a decrease in excursion/distortion as a result, like many other horn loaded designs?

4- Besides some (if any) directivity loss, how dramatic do you suppose this difference (direct radiator vs. rear firing (horn) would be?

If the answer to question #4 is "much less dynamic" (punch and drama), then I would consider the idea a non starter.
