Why aren't more of you guys using horns?

[treylittlefield 10+ year member]

that's an old site and hasn't been updated. those "sets" have been discontinued for awhile now. but if they do happen to have old stock then it should work. also fyi those xovers were more for the mid then the horn.

so what would you use to crossover the horns with?? is there any crossovers i could buy and them work??

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

it depends on which horn you buy. i myself use the xover in my HU which is an Eclipse CD7100. if your wanting a passive xover i think there's a layout over at the ID forum that shows you wat you need.

it depends on what your lookin for both of the horns they have now are excellent choices it may have been deleted as i said it was awhile ago. what does the rest of your system compose of?

will soon be 2 btls's. i have infinity plate speakers and 3 way door speakers. they started messin up so im wantin somethin to keep up with the 2 btl's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and i think horns are the way to go and put some mids in the door and i'll be set

if you ad horns you are going to want some sort of a processor so a new active capable headunit is your best bet there. then you will want to find the horns you want, and a nice set of mids. feed them some decent power and they should sound pretty good.

there is more to it than that but you should get the idea

to properly run horns you are going to be dropping a pretty good penny, hence why i never have been able to run them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

well i was hopin i could find some used //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif haha whats so special about a headunit that makes it to where u can run it active?? what would be a good set of horns and mids and a good SQ amp?? i figured i'd have to use the mini bodies beins my truck is so little. lol

im guessing you have an s10? you said door speakers and plates so that sounds like an s10.

also it is important to be able to run active due to not all speakers being created equally and are not ment to play certain frequencies. with an active capable deck you can set your own xover points so each speaker plays the frequencies you want them to play

are those ID horns made to sound good and detailed or can they get loud as well??

 

[atsaubrey 10+ year member]

yes and yes

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

are you planning on installing this on your own? the hardest part on horns is mostly getting it as far out and back as possible. you might be able to find a set of horns for 250 up to 500 used. depends on which one. keep in mind the cd1e v1 and v2, the cd1pro, the cd2pro have all been discontinued and i'm not sure if repair parts are still available. if your just lookin to keep up with your subs i'd recommend the cd1v3 they are an excellent beginner horn. what hu do you have now?

i currently have a kenwood head unit. i honesly dont remember the model number. so what would be a little better than the cd1v3?? if u were me what would u use as far as mids, amps, horns, and processors and deck. my headunit now has a option on it to set the front and rear HPF it goes from 40-220 i beileve...
