Re: 3Pi or 4Pi?
The three π model is slightly larger than the four π, that's true. Both have similarly sized baffles though, and they're large enough that baffle step happens right about the Schroeder frequency. So below the baffle step, we're in the room's modal regi...

Re: Corner horns & flanking subs?
Constant directivity cornerhorns don't benefit from flanking subs. The anomalies created by reflections from nearest boundaries when using traditional loudspeakers don't occur in cornerhorn installations. The sound source is acoustically close to the n...

Re: Three Pi and Three Pi Sub Plans
I've always loved ribbon tweeters too. Back in the 1970s, the EMIT tweeters in Infinity speakers were oh-so sweet to me. They offered much greater extension than compression drivers of that era. But they lacked dynamic range. They were relatively fra...

Re: 4PI Plans Request

As for the mods you are considering, I am glad you understand the potential for anomalies from standing wave modes in large full-range cabinets. That knowledg...

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: 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...

Re: Definimax 4012HO - End of Life
Do not forget that this design almost requires flanking subs for deep bass response. You can consider it to be a three-way design with the woofers detached.
They are adequate without subs, but certainly not optimal. They get better bass extensio...

Re: 3 Pi plans
Flanking subs are really just "helper woofers" except that they are generally tuned to provide deep extension. That way you get both benefits - Blending in the 75Hz to 150Hz range gives SBIR smoothing and extension below that gives more deep b...
