I've got a used pair of ID CD1's that haven't had the horn flange trimmed at all. I've also got a pair of IDQ 8's to pair with them. They've been sitting n my closet waiting for amps. I possibly would let the horns go if SQEAK //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif could suggest me something to pair the IDQs up with. I'm planning on going active...

CD2's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Or, just sell me your IDQ8's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

yeah, that's what I figured. What's a good EQ to run a 3 way setup (germaniums with an extra mid) and coax's in the back? I will also be purchasing an LC8.

How many inputs/outputs do you need the EQ to have?

Horns DO NOT sound like crap. Tonality is great if you know how to use an EQ, they are very dynamic and image well. Many SQ national champions have used horns in their cars....

too **** lazy to check through this thread for a duplicate post, but, this statement is severely misleading. The horns in question are horn tweeters, the SQ Champions have Horn Loaded Compression Drivers (HLCD's). The speaker is actually a small compressed driver that when coupled with a custom waveguide, produces frequencies that aren't only tied to Tweeters, but to midranges as well. In my previous system, I had a set of ProTech custom HLCD's coupled with dual 7" ProTech Midbass drivers for my front stage. Had a 4ch MRVF-400 V12 amp powering them. Was **** loud, had a pair of EQT's for equalization, and with a fair amount of positioning time, imaged like a sum***** too. Both seats had excellent staging and imaging.

Horn loaded tweeters will do nothing for your staging or imaging, but in answer to your question, they will get loud.

I wasnt' really relpying to the original poster. When someone else chimed in that horns sounded like crap, I assumed he WAS referring to HLCD's.
