[QUOTE="atsaubrey, post: 6292605, member: 566555"] Megalo, I followed your You Tube posts when you first got your horns and I feel for you not being able to ge tthem to work in your setup...the Hondas are prime cars for horns. I will say I have never had the "ringing" you talk about, tonally I think most would agree that my car is quite tonally balanced. I will agree that stage height can be an issue but that has more to do with phasing and xover points than anything else. I dont thing it is any different than a kickpanel setup, minus the dreaded rainbow effect (highly minimized with horns). I dont understand your point with horns being used as "tweeters" and the dispersion. Remember, horns were first used in cars to equalize path length differences. Also remember the key word, HLCD (horn loaded compression driver) as in CONTROLLED dispersion. Can a less then symetrical dash effect the dispersion negatively? Sure. Are ALL cars canidates for horns...no of course not. Can cars with the ability to fit horns properly able to sound really really good....yup. My own personaly competition car is less than ideal but I think most would agree it performs pretty dang well. Let's face a reality, where ever we choose to mount our drivers, we pick a battle. If we choose kick panels we deal with "rainbow effects and stage height issues along with other things. If we do tweets in the pillar or pods with tweets and or mids there we have to try and deal with the reflection issues and stage compression. If we do horns, we deal with height issues. I picked my battle and so far have been sucessful. Wouldnt you agree? Obviously I am not trying to steer anyone in any direction, just making the point of "battle choices". thought I might add your stage depth point is not correct IMO. My car after tuning is now beyond the boundries of the car. [/QUOTE]
