Horns in a 92 Caravan.

Dukk-I definitely agree with you there, the dash does help the mini significantly, but on the plus side you dont get the tonal irregularities that you normaly have with a larger horn.
Brandon-No car audio horn is going to play all the midrange frequencies, it would be massive.
And you'll have a hell of a time mating a 4" dome or midrange to a horns efficiency, don't bother.
I think you would be much better off with a conventional tweet/midrange.

not to be rude, but how much money have you spent or are planning to spend on this 94 minivan? Is this a family van? I mean you can't impress the chicks with a minivan man. If it's a dual purpose(family transport and car stereo project) van then that's cool, you always got to take care of the mama and your babies man. But, if this is your single guy ride, then my suggestion is to save some of the money and get a hot ride. Chicks dig hot rides. The tunes are secondary, hot ride then hot tunes= hot chicks ridin' the snake!Minivan with lots a gear= lonely dude crusin' the streets! With that said...to each his own. As long as you're happy have fun.

Well, that wouldn't be too much of a problem if my Behringer was going in the van, it's not, but I was thinking of maybe picking up an old PPI DEQ230 or something along those lines because I gotta have something and it's just too much work to build a rack to mount the behringer.
But the main thing with the horn idea, is leg/foot space.....would mini horns have the same effect as full bodies? Keep in mind, I am limited to the width of the horn, but I have acres of depth, so I can make the lense MUCH longer if need be.

Well it's quite a bit of work actually, because I gotta build a rack for it, because I'm not going to let it roll around in the back or the front somewhere.
Then the rack has to be made to look good with the rest of the install, because if it aint going to look good or be hidden it sure as hell isn't worth my time.
At least with a PPI DEQ it's a matter of hiding it behind one of my fender panels and run the display wire up to the front. Yea, it doesn't make a lot of sense because I already have the Behringer, but it's just a lot of work that I'm not willing to put time into just yet.

I drive it because it's good on gas and it was cheap.
Not to mention, I've seen more than a few minivan's that look 100 times better than most of these punk kids and thier Honda's. I've seen MANY vans that I would be proud to drive.
Plus, I'm not sure but I don't think anybody, except maybe you by the sounds of it, does up thier vehicle to impress anyone. We do it because WE like it....who give a **** what other people think. If you don't like it, then you give me the money and I'll make it look the way you want it to look.
And if I want an award winning system in my van then so-be-it.
Why don't you go tell Mark Eldridge that his 4Runner isn't a hot enough vehicle to pick up chicks in

I dunno man, every post I've read of his is about impressing chicks.
I don't worry about impressing "chicks" anymore, there women now, they were chicks in highschool but I grew up.
I know what he's saying but this isn't the donut shop, this is the SQ forum.
I especially don't appreciate talking down about my, or anyone elses for that matter, vehicle.
I don't drive a Lexus or BMW, so now the "chicks" won't like me? Meh, bummer for me I guess. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
Anyway, sorry to sound like a dick, but lets stay on topic shall we?

Aw..take it easy dude. I didn't mean to dump on your ride. You happy with it...keep on truckin'. Who gives a crap what some big a**, dumb, old fool says anyway. I'm no expert in this junk, and I don't know you from Adam, so I don't know what your priorities are man. I'm just havin' some fun and lookin' for trouble. Seriously guy, If I have offended...accept my appologies. Boys remember, the auditory canal closes up if you don't get sex regularly.Later......
holy, haven't seen this topic in a while.
Big sexy, I was likely having a rough day when I wrote that, one of many lately, so I appologize for being an ***...I don't TRY to get under anyone's skin unless it's Richard and he's not around much anymore.
So, sorry man, hope I didn't offend you.
