Thanks for the response. These are the reasons why I ask questions here before I purchase or do anything.

I am finishing the 4pi's (and stands) this weekend. Any wiring suggestions or tips before I start?

I have the stock 4pi crossover with upgraded JBL 2226h and de250

My amp stand is complete and I made 2 posters (20x30) on photoshop for above the 4pis (my and my wife's favorite bands). Oak Frames for the posters come this week to match the speakers.

That amp rack looks really nice. Those posters are cool too - will really look good framed!

As for wiring, I like to mount the crossover to the inside bottom panel of the speaker cabinet, and run the wiring up through the insulation. Leave enough slack to make it easy to connect the drivers but not so much there's a lot of wire dangling inside. Insulation will keep it from vibrating, even if there were enough it was coiled up inside but I still like to use just enough to reach, and no more. Use good quality pure copper stranded 14 or 16 guage speaker wire.

Well I finished the 4pi's (Still need to add the pi decals). I will be hooking them up tomorrow when I get back to my condo. Here is a picture of how they look.

Nice!

Well done. Give them some run in with some loud music to break in and then report back on how things sound.

Thanks for posting!

Very nice looking. I love the look of the veneered port, don't you?
