[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 2126963, member: 560148"] That's true but is he goin to have good equipment around? Does he even have the patience or ear to tune it? I'm just saying if his only goal is pure volume he's losing some of the better benefits of horns anyway, who cares about tonality at 120db of treble! That's total sensory overload. Sure lots of SQ installs have used horns, many fairly sucessful (stupid BMW's:naughty: ) That's not the point though if he's doing it to keep up with subs, which judging by his multiple mid install he's alreay using, he might as well not switch, there's no real benefit of going to horns at this point. He has all the volume he wants I'd assume and SQ isnt' a big concern. I'm not against horns, I plan on using them in my next setup actually. I'd say if when doing a horn install a 3 way is your best bet. It's hard to find a driver that will play 80-1k with enough authority to keep up with horns. To get the lower midrange in focus you usually end up switching phase which kills your midbass. Granted if you dont' plan on turning your volume up alot you can do fine in a 2 way, especially if you use a large/vented kickpanel, with a higher effeciency driver. [/QUOTE]
