[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1534247, member: 555320"] If you pushed the horns balls to the wall....they would probably drown out your bass. Not to mention....you'd [literally] be deaf when you stepped out of the vehicle [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] High efficiency horns are capable of over 120db...and that, at treble frequencies, is literally enough to deafen you permanently. Audiolife on here had his horns measured in the throat years back at 154db.....154db of treble is [I]totally [/I]different than 154db of bass. At 105db/w/m efficiency, you won't use more than a few watts on each horn while listening to them. I assume that amplifier you have is a 4-channel? Horns, active crossover and mids can be found for in that price range if you look for used. Image Dynamics CD-1Pro's or CD-2 comps are for sale regularly on [URL="http://www.elitecaraudio.com"]http://www.elitecaraudio.com[/URL] and you could find them in the $250 price range. Then I would pick up a pair of something like the XXX mids, or the 8" Dayton Audio 4ohm Reference series from partsexpress (~$100 shipped, don't know if they are on the website yet..might need to call to order them). Coustic XM6 crossover should work for an active xover aswell (can be found for $80 NIB on ebay from thestereodirect, an authorized Coustic seller). And that setup would have [I]no problem [/I]keeping up with your bass [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] But you would also want to think about adding an EQ at a future date atleast, or adding one now if the budget allows. BTW, what MSync's do you have ? [/QUOTE]
