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?
yes
Question part:
How does a horn compare to my current 3-Way speakers?(Does it it all the notes minus the bass?)
horns cover 800hz/1khz and up you'll need an effiecient midbass to cover 800hz down to 80 and let the subs cover 80 down.
Do I still need Tweeters in a Horn setup?
no, there are some competitors who use supertweets to add some more 20khz freq.
How much louder do horns get and do they keep quality as they get louder?
horns can get very loud if you start to distort horns you will know
How much more power do horns need?
ID horns don't require alot of power most ppl use about 20watts to them
Would keeping the 3-Way speakers in hurt more than help?
if you go with horns yes
What does the term "active" mean?
active is where you are using an external processor sending each amp the proper freq to send to the speakers
Do anything like equalizers play a role in setting it up?
yes
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?
