compression drivers/ sql 2-way

[SIDEWALKSISSY]

alright, here it is... i wanna go deaf. i like my tunes loud as hell. i'm tired of buying comps and not being satisfied. this time i'm gonna build a very loud sql system. i think my only option without running multiple drivers and tweets is to go with an active 2-way system. does anybody run horns anymore? they were huge like 3 years ago. i wish the Image Dynamics CD2COMP's weren't so exspensive. are the lower lines comparible?

also, who maks a good 7"/8" midbass driver that will match-up pretty good with horns. i plan on powering these mids with either the zapco 750.2 or the audison vxr 400.2

Maybe you could use Dynaudio midbass drivers, they will handle a lot of power....

Start saving for your hearing aid soon.....

Parts Express has a bunch of Goldwood piezo drivers for about a buck and a half each, last I recall...

A hundred of them would accomplish your goal of going deaf rather fast.

sounds like a "line-array" home audio set-up. lets keep it to car audio.

I don`t know the price for the Image Dynamics. A smith horn would be flat and also fit into a car. But this one from Visaton isn`t cheap, either.

What's scary is I've actually seen installs like that in a vehicle

Absolutely no potential for a good soundstage...are you actually concerned with getting a good stereo image or are you just concerned with volume?

[SIDEWALKSISSY]

volume and imaging. i want good sound quality with plenty of volume. is it possible?

These would both go well with horns

If you want to go with horns it's usually cheaper to pick up a pair of used horn bodies for about $100 and buy the drivers seperately.

I used these BMS drivers and really liked them

These Radians are also nice as well

i had someone tell me theres no such thing as sql. he mentioned that horns are pure sq and that i would not be happy with the sound if i listen to mainly metal. what do y'all think/

what is the comparison between image dynamics amd bms? i thought the cd2 pro neos were the best

[ca90ss]

I listen to mostly metal and my horns played it better than any of the other speakers I've used.

The cd2 pro neo drivers are just rebadged B&C DE500's

I liked the BMS drivers because they are a very smooth sounding without the harshness some other horns have.
