CD1MH V.3 - Image Dynamics Reduced Size Mini Horns

nothing cheaper than that really right? thanks for the find tho

you could try some h ome audio drivers like eminence etc most important part is the horn body. and where your gonna install them. with the ID horns they go under the dash as far back as far out as possible. it'll bring your staging and imaging up above teh dash and **** close to center.

ok cool thanks, yeah i was going to put them under the dash my buddy had a pair of ID's and we put them in my car to see if they would work and they did, just cant get my rainbows loud enough with out the protection cutting them down and its starting to piss me off haha

if going horns make sure you have the processing necessary for it. also what do you mean by the protection cutting them dwon? perhaps you just need a bigger amp?

 

[tyoung87 10+ year member]

what processing would i need? and they have something that if the tweeters get to much power it will take some of that power away by lighting up a bulb with the extra power and after it does that for a while it just like cuts the power off to the tweeters i guess, i dont think its the amp being underpowered due to that

you don't need ALOT of processing but a lil helps i was running horns off my old Eclipse Cd7100 and the built in xover was plenty. you want at least a xover of 1khz at 18db to 24db for the horns alone. then for the mids i'd go 80 up to 1khz

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

i've always hated those lil bulbs

if you don't have any processing and are handy at building things liek a passive xover network you could build this for the horns i linked

You could always get the horn bodies from ID and check out partsexpress or a site like it for the drivers. Saves a ton of $$$
