Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has had expierience with these tweeters. My cous wanted to get some of these or the "horns" To play around with. Anyone had expierience with the horns? I have never heard a tweeter horn. He has, that is why he wantes some to play around with in his van. I dunno though, any thought on these?

LOUD.

If all he wants is volume, they're a good idea. Very high efficiency, extremely bright...

I think that is what he is going for, He is wanting to slowly turn his van into his own little work of art lolz. Are there any that are loud and sound smooth, I always thought that it was one or the other. I know there is probably a way to get some great sounding tweeters that will also be loud as hell. But isn't that usually the toss up?

In that case I'd go with horns made for under-dash mounting, such as ID ones, or Illusion Audio, or USD...and compression drivers with more linearity. Horns can be incredibly detailed and realistic, but like anything if you let it overpower everything else, you can toss "good sounding" out the window

ComPression Drivers? Any advice on these Rick... I mean Jim I would love to get him something that is detailed and realistic and loud haha. He makes alot of his own music, So I think this would be a great way to go. Could you go active with these? I have been doing a little research and I would like to go active one of these days.

I wouldn't mind getting one and trying them out. Just to play around with some setups.

B&C makes compression drivers that actually have the potential to sound decent...I'd avoid using a PA horn in a vehicle, though, the dispersion pattern is wrong for how you'd have to mount it.

Going active is really the only practical solution for these, you could go passive but you'd have to pad the hell out of the horn to keep it from overpowering the midbass. These are finicky enough that you really want the ability to attenuate and change crossover points on the fly.
