[QUOTE="req, post: 4050862, member: 555713"] well meg, i have a similar problem. but stage is all about perception. so i went around that by cheating (well its cheating to me) i added a second tweeter set. using the stock tweets in my sails, i hooked them up with only a few watts from like 16k up @ 18db\oct (thank you H701!!!) and it really helps bring things up a few inches. imaging (not including the midbass i need to T\A) is awesome with horns, as long as they are roughly symmetrical to each other placement wise, it will be great. stage width is acceptable, but it usually does not extend further than the rear view mirrors, because of the dispersion characteristics of the horn lens. but stage height has always been an issue for me. if you can, id suggest adding a second tweet as stealth as possible to raise it up. some big wig audio man guy (like richard clark or some crap) wrote an article about horns and i read this trick years ago. finally implemented it and i like the results with minimal effort because moving my horns is no easy feat!!! as said, height and my midbass image are my only big problems in my opinion. but i still gotta get some warmer weather so i can clean things back up. ps, james, good idea with the strap\bolt on the fire wall!!! i never thought about using the firewall as a mounting point!!! can we say RIVETS!?!?
