[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 595192, member: 555320"] What kind? If you are in need of a pair of horns, I have a pretty rare pair for sale [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] The key is to have VERY strong midbass drivers. IMO, no point in taking away the horns efficiency and output advantages by "choking" them off and lowering their output a lot to level match them properly with the other drivers. Instead of lowering the horns output, bring the rest of the system up to the horns abilities. Majority of people who run horns, are also running 8"-10" midbass drivers. 6.5" drivers with good amounts of displacement may suffice, but you'll still likely have to tone down the horns some (or a lot). If you go with a 8" or 10", you'll likely need to run a 3-way system (midbass, midrange, and then horn). For the midrange, you'll want something with a lot of cone area (5.25" driver at a bare minimum, 6.5" would be better). For pure midrange, excursion isn't really important which is why you want as much cone area as possible. If you go with horns, are you going to be using a passive or active crossover? I use them, I'm in love with them [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
