Horns

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif Don't take up much room? I'd definatly not reccomend the full bodies then, lol. ****ING HUGE!
They are very long....but once installed they don't take up much room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Did you ever get your horns EQ'd ?

 
Nope.

We need better people on our team.

 
You can always try mini-horns. Image dynamics makes a set of mini's for the cd1 and cd2's. You can also sand off part of the outer horn if it's getting in the way. Horns are physically large, but once in place take up no room, nothing else goes below the dash anyway.

 
Are there any horns that are round and a not much larger than regular tweets? Those long horns might be a little tough to mount in my car.
those arent made for a loaded enviornment like a car. the symetrical and small horns (like horn loaded tweeters shown before) are for open air, or large rooms. they simply dont have the right kind of dispersion effects to play in a car. it will get a really weird soundstage. the reason the pros use HLCDs like the waveguides and the image dynamics series, is because they disperse the sound out and to the other side of the car. it just does not work with the little round ones. they are mostly used for home theatre applications. im not saying they are bad or sound bad. they just dont work for the application of the car stereo.

and most of the time, heavy EQing is needed for horns in a car, and an active crossover network, so its quite difficult to get started with horns and go in the right direction too.

yeah, horns tend to have 70% of their sound of axis. Nice for cars where you want to minimize reflections. Everytime I see your door pods I get more and more sad about my terribly designed doors.

 
Thanks for the help guys. I'm definately going with an extra set of mids (my final decision), I think it'll just be an easier install and easier to tune overall. I'm just throwing a stupid question out here and wondering if anyone has done it. Has anyone ever put coax's in the doors and built kick panels for components?

 
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.

I like my Audiocontrol DQT, I'll like it a WHOLE LOT MORE when I get an external 3 way crossover and I can use it on my WHOLE system instead of just my tweeters.
