Re: 3 Pi sub questions
The three Pi sub kit is really just a woofer and port material. We also include the connector panel, a "π" logo and a printed copy of the plans. There is no passive crossover included.
The crossover, as you've rightly indicated, is specifi...

Re: 4PI Plans Request
High-pass at 50Hz fourth-order is fine.
As for the delay, please remember that what we're doing with flanking subs actually requires some delay. The modal range is caused by a multitude of phase interactions from reflected signals. There are mul...

Re: 4PI Plans Request
The flanking sub low-pass recommendation of 100Hz second-order is empirical, so you can consider it a starting point and not a hard-fixed number. However, I have found that the slope is always better being gradual than it is being sharper. Fourth-order...

Re: 4PI Plans Request
I think that's a good way to go. Run the flanking subs with a 100Hz/2nd-order low-passed copy of the signal sent to the main speaker each sub is flanking. Run the mains set to "large" so you blend with the flanking subs. The mains should be ...

Re: 4PI Plans Request
You've got mail!
I agree with Barry about the JBL 2226H. It is an excellent midwoofer. The flux stabilization ring in the motor structure reduces distortion down to the levels normally only seen in horns. When combined with a horn tweeter, you have...

Re: MiniDSP
Digital filters are awesome because of their flexibility.
In the case of loudspeakers - and particularly controlled directivity loudspeakers - you have to be careful with your choice of filters because they affect summing through the crossover region....

Re: Low Pass
The 100Hz at 12dB/octave (2nd-order) slope recommendation is specifically for flanking subs, which are a type of multisub arrangement. Distributed multisubs are usually run lower and with a quicker slope, often 60Hz at 4th-order or 80Hz 4th-order. The ...

Re: Three Pi and Three Pi Sub Plans
If you can mount the speakers in the wall, that's perfect because it removes self-interference from the wall as well as removing any baffle step. It really is the best option. You can setup the subs as distributed multisubs rather than flanking subs.

Re: Definimax 4012HO - End of Life
Check out this document from Eminence's website:
Understanding Loudspeaker Data
It shows what each of the electro-mechanical parameters describe.
As for flanking sub setup, generally, we want 100Hz, second-order. I've found some combinations that a...
