as for everyone elses response, thanks.
The vehicle will be a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus. Will hopefully be ran active with an 8" midbass alongside. With my experience I dont really like horns, however the ones that I've used were cheapies that did get extremely harsh. |

where the hell would I mount them?

I've had good luck with Pyle Compression Tweeters and Horns.
They're not "warm" like conventional tweeters but certainly not shrill... Just don't do what I did and use way too much. Sounded ****ing awful. Trashed the entire install because of it. Edit: The only reason I mention them is because you can feed them absurd amounts of power and they get very loud. |

Under your dash (and before you reply you don't have room, I've seen them mounted there in a Cavalier and it worked well).
When people find them harsh I have generally found that they are being overpowered(or poorly installed). Most horns are like 110dB efficient and need very little power to get very loud. I have an Orion HCCA 225r(25x2@4ohm) on my horns which are 8 ohm so maybe 15 watts a side and that is more then enough to be very loud and articulate. my $0.02 |

I had a Cirrus for a while and the USDs were going to be tough to fit so I didn't. The ID minis fit in almost anything though as long as you have enough height.
Otherwise, you're going to get a tonne of opinions. I've ran my MTX ThunderAxe comps very hard and very loud and am always impressed with how they handle the power. |

This was the most non-helpful response I've ever seen. It was a general question. Believe it or not, some people like to have a mix between SPL and good quality sound. This being the goal. I understand that power doesnt mean a whole lot but its easier to say said amount of power rather than being able to handle a 1000 hz sine wave at 5% distortion with 150 watts.
I'll be more general then. I want a set of components that will take a lot of abuse and still sound good doing it. Is that better? |

It was more to the point that the lack of power needed to drive the horn. |
