Re: Plate amp for 3pi subs
The SPA250DSP plate amp will work just fine, and yes, you'll need the DSP version for flanking subs because it will allow you to set the low-pass filter to 12dB/octave. It will also work for distributed multisubs if you decide to add one or two of those...

Re: four Pi and subs
Compression driver changes sometimes need different R1/R2 values to match voltage sensitivity. The amplitude and polar response is set by the waveguide, which is has much more influence than the driver.
The only things set by the driver are mass-roll...

Re: Is it safe to position a Sub facing a room's side walls?
Thanks. I looked at this thread here:

and another on Flanking subs. There some terminologies there which is confusing to me tbh but if I ...

Re: Is it safe to position a Sub facing a room's side walls?
It doesn't matter what direction you face subs if they are crossed over below 80Hz or so. But if they are run higher than that - and you need the upper-end response - then orientation can matter. The only times I would want subs run high are when they ...

Re: PI 4 Upgrades
If you have the H290C waveguide, it sounds like you're upgraded as far as you can go, at least as far as "factory upgrades" are concerned. You could replace the B&C driver with a TAD TD-2002, but I've never offered it because of the price....

Re: Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
Sounds good. I've always used monopole direct-radiating subs for flanking subs and multisubs. Hornsubs are just too large and dipoles aren't in my wheelhouse. But I would think dipoles might just work very well for various flavors of multisub setups, ...

Re: Horn loaded Corona Build
There are lots of other great build threads too. Some people have built some really great looking home theaters. Some have made super nice dinner theater installations. And there are plenty of great finishes from various builders too. Almost too many...

Re: 4Pi plan request and question.
You've got mail!
I recommend you use flanking subs with these speakers. This isn't done just to add extension, but also to provide modal smoothing and reduce self-interference anomalies from nearest boundaries. Some people also like to run one or tw...

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
That's right, exactly. Set the SPL so that 100Hz is the same level as 200Hz and 300Hz. What you'll also get is a reduction in the amplitude of the dip that results from self-interference from the wall behind the speakers and also reduction o...
