March 5, 201015 yr Yea i would like to see some reactions!!! I think those are alot better than the music playing videos! But that thing looks mean man!!! Would love to hear it!!
March 5, 201015 yr Author Ya the vids suck. They were used with a regular camera. I need to get a cam corder. If I can get one of those you can actually see what is going on with everything. The camera cannot capture A LOT. We will get some hair tricks lined up and some reactions. By the way the port has yet to be unplugged and the amps have not been tuned to their optimal performance yet either. We are going to unplug it tonight =)

March 7, 201015 yr Author Good News - We got a hair trick going, the port plug was removed and it is indeed louder.Bad News - Josh lost my camera ......
March 7, 201015 yr Author How are you liking those horns?To be honest with you I thought that they would be louder. I have 35 watts going to them right now. They still need to be eq'd and what not. Over all they sound good though.

If so I do not understand what.
March 8, 201015 yr Which horns do you have? I know that I plan on getting the basic ones (Image Dynamics CD1MH V.3 ), from my understanding they should be crossed at 1000hz or better using the steepest slope available (24db). Actually for all there speakers Image Dynamics suggest a steeper slope, Ive talked to the guys a few times last month (he made it seem like even on 20 watts there unbearable). When you say there are as loud as you expected was this with subs on or just the horns by themselves?

When you say there are as loud as you expected was this with subs on or just the horns by themselves?This was with subs on. Even with the subs on, when there were times when just the mids and highs were playing I was not impressed with the loudness. I thought I would have to turn them down because they would be so piercing. I have mine crossed over at 1250 hz and 24db/octave. I have them mounted under the dash as well. I do not understand why they are not as loud as I expect.Here are my calculationsV^2/R = PV^2/8 = 35V^2 = 35*8V=(35*8)^(1/2)V=16.7Tuned with a 10,000 hz test tone at 0 db
March 8, 201015 yr I may be wrong but I dont think your supposed to set your high amps with a DMM, cant remember why but I think your not supposed to considering they wont shine until you play a 10,000 hz tone in a song. I would try setting them by ear first and see if it makes a difference.

March 8, 201015 yr I doubt you will burn them out since they are rated at 60-70 rms, call Eric (ID Tech) @ 866-933-1414 ext. 101 if you need some more assistance. After you try it let me know if the change in output.

March 11, 201015 yr Author Apparently the tweeters are recommended for 35-40 watts rms. Found this out way too late. Burnt out the left one at 60 watts rms =(
