Great thread, thanks to everybody who posted a REASON for their opinion.

I've never had the oportunity to listen to a car with HLCDs installed, so I can't offer an opinion or reason. I just can't justify rambling on about specs and theories without some practicle experience. That's just me though, the floor is still open. Anyone?????

ahhaah..

HLCD can work very well, but need a lot of tuning to start to sound natural again. For me, it's not worth the hassle.. I'll take a good mid and tweet set any day.

I feel the same way. It's generally easier to get a better sound out of a component set straight from the box than is horns. Both I'm sure require alot of tuning if going for very accurate sound but the horns sound like a harder point to start from. Output though.....horns for sure.

Well in my opinion I agree that horns are alot more difficult to set up and tune, the benefits that can be reaped are phenonminal. What other sound reproduction device can play from 25 hz all the way up??? That is awesome!! Now set-up is a BIT@H, if you are out a few degree's on the angle then they don't sound good at all. I also must agree that the first time I heard a set of horns which was in 1999 they were Image Dynamics CD1E-MH horns with the Image 62 Mids with the CS-1 crossovers. That was in a jetta that was done by crankin street sounds when I was working there. He took 3 in IASCA Novice SQ at worlds in Dallas. Man did that car sound awesome , I knew I would always LOVE HORNS. Sorry once I get reminising I kinda get rambeling on.

Funny how you love Canton so much and the same little german guy makes one speaker and puts Canton and Quart on the same speaker. He just turns right and puts the Canton sticker and turns left to put the Quart sticker on them [img]smile.gif[/img]
