Strange horn install I saw years ago...

Steve Cornell is the only other Impala that I can find and of course all the build pics have been taken down.

I remember this car as well but I wasn't able to turn up any pics either. It will probably come down to some one actually having that issue and scanning the pics for us. That was an unexpected trip down memory lane though, for sure.

I do remember this car. Its was a pretty famous competitor but cant find any pics of the car.
I am almost tempted to say it was Earl Wills, but all the pics of his impala I have seen he had the horns under the dash so I am probably incorrect about that.

It does seem Howie Liwang helped build the car and if you ever saw his camaro, he completely built his own horn bodies into the dash so maybe its not the one I am thinking of.

But you have peaked my interest.

I believe it was Earl's from Talladega, AL. His son (Barry) had a Toyota comp. truck as well.

Edit: The horns in Earl's car were changed around a few times.

Im just happy Ive found some other people who saw the car, and remember it. After all these years of people not only saying no, they never heard of it... but also giving a look like wtf would anyone do that... I was starting to think I was crazy.

Earl Zausmer? That's the only Earl I recall form the 'old days'... but I dont remember where he was from. And he usually had BMW's.

BMW's and B&W's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Earl Wills, he owned/operated Airborne Express just outside of Talladega, AL. I knew and hung out with his son, Barry, back in the '90s.

Im not talking about cheap piezo style PA type horns guys. Horn loaded compression drivers only for me.

Yeah, FTW. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Remember the tweeter install that he had where the tweets elevated up out of the dash? They even turned to bias for driver or passenger listening position. And of course, his 15" woofer kick panel install was a classic. He hired some amazing installers.

Wait till you see the horn install im doing this weekend, lulz. 8 horns, all facing the driver directly, and 4 reflecting off glass.

That's not a horn install, that's Public Announcement. And this is the second time this has been mentioned here... how are these installs facing the driver directly, while simultaneously reflecting off the glass? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The car is actually now in Houston and has been completely redone, again. Last I saw it, there was Kicker equipment in it.

But if they had been redone more then once when he had it, then it is very possible that was the car.

Indeed, I still have some of those issues. Incredible work in all it's phases.
