only thing is those 6.5's have 0 midbass. but ive heard them and i like it(with subs) so thats all that really matters

anyways, they do get pretty loud, and they sound really clear doing it. i like em. youll hear them whenever i get them installed...dont know when thatll be

you need too look at the x over slope too. and if you have the room horns are alot easier to mount than making any kind of pod. looking for a mid/mid bass to go along i would look into a pr of beyma power m6 6.5's. again x over slope will be important as with any set up i have done with horns 24 db was used and with that phase was either 180 degrees off or right on. fire them from under the dash straight out. a horns weakness is not heigth the disperse very very well up and down its width they can have an issue with (hence the shape of the horn body) that being said if done right they kill regular speakers in staging and as far as being "in your face" it gets no better.

depending on what set of horns he gets he may need more subs lol back when i had my firebird i had a set of cd 3 ultra comps turned way down as they would over power 2 idq 8 dvcs and 2 15" idws rather easily. when i rolled my windows down you heard the lyrics every bit as well as you heard the boom from over a block away with much traffic noise.

in an old school outlaw spl contest (before the filters where put on) set up exactly how i had it (roughly 12 watts turned down max amp the would do is 25x2 rms and the speakers could do 100w rms) it burped a 153 in the throat to flash dance lol. granted they dont use mics like that anymore but in my firebird you couldnt yell loud enough to be heard from the driver side or the passenger side (for the other person to hear you). in the opening of marilyn manson's "sweet dreams" you couldnt hear yourself scream. that horn had a sensitivity right around 109-113 db

or if you want something like your eminence look into beyma ast-09's http://car.beyma.com/downloads/Catalogo_BEYMA_CAR_Mayo_06.pdf are pretty loud too but imo they dont do what a bigger horn will do without propper aiming.

aiming a full body horn is like trying to p@@@ in a side of the car compared to finding the magic 4" area where they sound best. just my opinion though

i am looking into getting minibodies anyway because my xover only goes down to 1.25k

 

[audiolife 5,000+ posts]

seeing as how these reccomend 30 watts @ 8 ohms....and i am getting 50 @ 4 ohms... is it safe to assume 25 watts (approx) at 8 ohms will be sufficient??

what slope are you useing?

6,12,18,24,30

whatever works best, i am running active from the 880

97x has the eminences...I have the RE RE Comps
