So im wondering if anyone out there in the GTA who is running an HLCD front end on there car might be willing to let me come and listed to it sometime. I have spent years wondering what a car with horns sounds like and now I really want to get a chance to hear one asap, so if anyone out there has a such an animal and would be willing to let me take a few minutes to so graciously audition there setup then I would greatly appreciate it!

 

Wow, good luck with your search. That might be a tough one. I'm considering trying to shoehorn my USD A7.0s into my new car. If successful I'll be a one-only running HLCDs out here..

 

This would be a good car to listen to.. from Soundgood's Iasca Soundoff early this year. I believe it has the Image Dynamic horns in it, and it sounded great!

 

The outside horns or inside?

When you say horns, I think of those Americans in the south who hook up the megaphones below their car and "horn" their music.

That type of horn?

 

They're talking about Waveguides. Think of a car audio version of the horn tweeter on a PA or concert speaker.

They were popular in the early 90s with some of the biggest names in audio using them. They were a challenge to install, hard to dial in, but are virtually unrivalled in impact and dynamics when set up right.

look here: http://www.usdaudio.com/products/wg.php and then check out the install gallery too.

 

Is this guy on the boards?

 

that car is from washigton. his name is drew snapp.. great guy.... really good ear.. i ran a set of usd audio bc3rt horns and jbl power 6.5 in kicks in my 03 civic 5 speed.. sounded wicked.. placed highest in my region for iasca sq. won the canadian iasca sq title that yr as well with them.

 

Why did you change your setup then?

 

hell i change every two yrs... as an installer i get board very easy and with reps giving me anything i want its fun to change things out..

 

Hey Joe - IIRC you were running a set of Veritas horns. You still using them?
