is a horn in my jeep the best option?

[klampykixx]

Hi guys, nothing here is set in stone. more, long the lines of an open discussion.

my mate and i feel that a horn tuned around the resonant frequency of the cabin of a vehicle will give the highest gain for max SPL in attempt to win sound offs relatively easily.

so my first Q, is ^^ this mind set correct in thinking a horn works like this in a small space?

second, will i be able to maintain a degree of fidelity in order to have war volume, but also have good range of sound coming out of it? as in, his sub is designed to be a one note wonder, and it does it well, but sucks musically. iv always loved my musical sounding subs, and generally make them go pretty well and also sound good. but this time i want to try something new. I have a pair of SS15 Jbell horns. and I LOVE THEM, and want something similar in my Jeep XJ cherokee for when im out in the bush.

here is my layout.

and i have two Pioneer TWS254C subs

any suggestions?

ive been bored, so was playing around with hornresp. tell me if im wrong with my numbers, but i was pretty good at geometry in school so like to think i got that part right at least.

here is a horn based on the SS15 (Jbell) folding pattern to suit the space in the back of my jeep.

edit: forgot to mention, thats 2x drivers there.^^

If no one here can help, try posting this in the subwoofer forum. There are more discussions about horn enclosures there.
