I'd really aim for something cheaper, personally. That Selenium is about 250-280 PER driver, then you need horn bodies, which aren't really that cheap either. That BMS looks nice, but I don't believe there are any horn bodies made for cars that accept threaded drivers.

well if i get something i want to get a high quality drive and not have to rebuy things in the future

ninjawhiteboy12 you're ALWAYS asking questions about stuff you'll never buy honestly. i'm not sure why you even ask the things you ask.

THE POWER OF PRO AUDIO SHIT STILL HAS TO GET OUT INTO THE MASSES OF THE CAR AUDIO WORLD.
If you got alot of bass, pro audio drivers are the way to go.

they fun too, and attract more hunnies

I think I may go with horns but I am not sure yet. Still deciding on which way to do.

 

[ninjawhiteboy12 10+ year member]

are there any horn bodies that will work well in a car situation besides the ID's, the reason i ask is because im looking into 2in drivers and the id's are 1in

Use the ID-style bodies.

 

[ninjawhiteboy12 10+ year member]

wait the ID-style????? i wish ID made them in 2in, but all the other bodies i have seen no way resemble id bodies

I would love to try some horns out, especially for the very large system I have planned coming up, but I just cant see myself forking out 600 or so for some good quality ones.

You don't have to really. Get some horn bodies from ID directly for like 100. Parts express has plenty of high quality 1" horns for good pricing. Selenium, B&C, and Radian would be the three companies I'd be looking at if you want something that can potentially sound good as well as getting loud. ID has been selling rebadged B&C drivers for years, might as well cut out the middleman.... (I do own xs69's tho lol)

So horns from parts express, and the casing from id? What about issues with bolt patterns lining up, and mounting hardware?
