Why aren't more of you guys using horns?

Nothing wrong with the ID mids, if you have the coin I would recommend the XS drivers. I always try to explain to people, do it right the first time. I do 100% understand that $$$$ can be an issue though. Always save up and get the best you can afford. If let's say you bought the Ultra horns and a set of XS mids you'd be set with nothing better on the market for many many years. I honestly believe the ID Ultras and XS mids offer some of the best sounding front stages available. Remember, your going to need an effcient mid to keep up with the horns and the XS drivers do just that. DO NOT be scared of the 5x7 or 6x9 drivers no matter what ANYONE tells you, I run the 6x9's in both my vehicles and love love love them.

well i was actually thinkin bout gettin the xs mids...i couldnt get anyhting but 6.5 or lower b/c thats what comes in the doors...or would it be better to try to build some kicks for 6x9's?? and just leave the dash and doors speakers with nothing in them??

you could do that or just mod your doors a little

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

correct. i mean you can purchase them as they are great drivers but i myself would prefer a not discontinued product.

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

the x65 mids are an excellent partner for the horns if that's all you have room for. kicks are always a better choice then factory door location as you can aim the speaker better from kicks.

so these would be good for horns?? why does it say two horn body sizes with unique flare design that achieves proper sound dispersion and frequency response?? does that mean it comes with two differnt bodies or what?

 

[atsaubrey 10+ year member]

It says two different SIZES (full bodies and mini bodies) the flare design refers to the shape of the horn for car use.

I'll second all of this. I've got a set of xs69s in my kick and they are absolutely killer midbasses. I knew the horns would be good but I couldn't really demo my mids without getting everything fabricated first. I was really scared I wasn't going to like the xs69's. Honestly they are absolutely killer. The drum tracks on some of my sq disks are absolutely silly! Timpani drums and snare hits at reference levels are scary lol. Very nice mids. Only real complaint is they are vey revealing, bad recordings and radio sound ehh most of the time. Not the drivers fault tho, just very nice speakers.

agreed, the XS69 has some of the best midbass I have ever heard. Like you said the attack from drum tracks is just friggin silly.

They should be free-air. Vent into a panel on the vehicle.
