[QUOTE="req, post: 2115073, member: 555713"] 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.
