Hi All

I just built my first 4Pi prototype and it looks bigger than i thought
I'm having serious WAF problems

I could try moving some furnitures and/or choosing a proper color/veneer for better integrating these 'refrigerators' (this is how my wife calls them! hehehe) into the room

Or I could try to make smaller boxes

Without changing components and keeping the standard crossovers, what would be the minimum box volume for getting a working 4Pi?

Omega Pro 15 works in boxes from 2 to 3.8 cu. ft.
Does it mean that I can do a 4Pi in a 2 cu. ft. box?
Will it sound close to the original?

Thanks!

Sorry, I wouldn't suggest any changes. The box is already a tight fit for the components it contains.

Good Attitude! You'll love the speakers. If you finish 'em darker and put them in or close to corners, they don't look as big. Emphasize to your wife all the good snuggling and wine, chocolates, etc. you'll enjoy even more with better tunes.
