if a dash as the room under it and installed correctly you don't even notice the horns when they are in. the main thing to remember about horns is as far back and far out as possible.

Buy me some and I'll give it a try. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not that bad you could get the entry level

CD1 V.3 - Image Dynamics Controlled Dispersion Speaker System with these mids

CX62 V.2 - Image Dynamics 6.5" 2 ohm Mid-bass Drivers.

and spend abotu the same amount on a comp set

Meh, I don't want to join the ID forum just to look at your build. I'd most likely never return after checking it out. The car domain pics worked until page 9, so at least I got to see most of your gear.

I was really hoping you had a build log on ca.com...

Way to hijack thread wasn't letting me post for some reason. I just want basically wanted to try horns to decide where I want to go with my next setup, and some info on the subject of course.

My dad has a pair of home speakers(he just got them recently) that have a horn, 15" Sub for Mids and another 15" Sub for lows in them and they are awesome.(I think it was $600-700 for pair in boxes too, but they are pretty decent for the price) I guess I would want to setup my vehicle the same way? Horn Mid Low?

Question part:

How does a horn compare to my current 3-Way speakers?(Does it it all the notes minus the bass?)

Do I still need Tweeters in a Horn setup?

How much louder do horns get and do they keep quality as they get louder?

How much more power do horns need?

Would keeping the 3-Way speakers in hurt more than help?

What does the term "active" mean?

Do anything like equalizers play a role in setting it up?

Space wouldn't matter that much I don't even have my current speakers mounted in the doors or anything, just their own boxes, it a Suburban just for stereo so I have plenty of room and not worried about speakers sticking out from under the dash or anything like that. I may not go with horns yet, but for some mids can I get away with using my 2 channels on my amp that run 125 @ 2 Ohms? I looked at those 6.5 Mids you posted, but didn't see the specs on them? I am wondering though If I should just pick up another pair of those 6x9 3 Way kickers instead of buying just Mids?
