horns are for people who are afraid of tweeters

**** those are some huge horns

when the mids is playing max, theres a 10 foot radius, where you cant stand to listen to the music because the mids from above 1200 hertz emanating from the drivers will kill your ear.

only on max volume,

plays with exceptional quality.

I've heard the 2-bay multicells, and they were the most dynamic things I've heard yet. Can only imagine what the bigger ones sound like //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey Mir, I saw that you had some ID minis at one point...how did you like them, and what model driver was being used?

And bass_lover, I like those prices...but those response curves are ragged as hell. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Your point? A big center console is going to **** with FR enough to where those graphs are nice, but not all that meaningful. They'll give you an idea of its bandwidth, but not really close to what it will do in car.

And you're crazy if you're considering horns without a quality dual band EQ.

sounded shitty compared to my setup now with the Tangband ceramics. I could never get the stage high enough, and had some tonal issues.

We should meet up sometime so you can hear my current setup. It completely sounds different from the last time you heard my car.

Megalo was too noob to tune the horns. user error.

Those things are HUGEEEEEE

I'd love to hear the new setup, and you're not too far away now either. I'm right at Plano Parkway and Parker, so you can't be more than maybe 10 minutes away. You change your setup so often that the last time I heard your car(which was maybe 3-4 months ago at Audio Depot) was probably 3-4 setups ago. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I'm just having a hell of a time deciding on what I'm going to do next as far as tweets/horns/2" fullrange array goes. What TB tweets are you using? I've been using the $19 1" fabric neos for almost 2 years now. I've just kinda gotten the itch to try something new/worthwhile, and I'm wanting high efficiency so I don't have to damn near kill the tweet to get it at the level I like to jam my Zeppelin and Pink Floyd at.

edit: Found those TB ceramics...looks like a pretty flat response straight out the box, and can crossover low as well(exactly what I need). What crossover point are you using for them, and how's the distortion when crossed around 2khz with a pretty steep slope? The tweets I'm using now just kill me with low-end distortion. I have to limit myself to a 24db slope at 3.15khz because the saxophone/guitar/Robert Plant's voice just drive me crazy if I drop them any lower.
