There are quirks to horns, and they can give excellent results, but typically require Eq (1/3 octave EQs) to get the tonality right. I recommend you look at the tutorial on elite car audio. Here's the link: http://www.elitecaraudio.com/article.php?sid=37 That will give you an idea what to expect as far as install and characteristics go. |

Many are over 100db for 1W/1M, and can take a good amount of power. I've seen competitors that hit in the 120s just off of their front stage when horns are involved  Horns are very dynamic and have a good bit lower distortion than conventional drivers. |
