the brackets are on the back of the horns so you cant see them. i had a local shop that i go to install them. they arent an ID dealer.

you can trim the actual horn? ive heard they cant be trimmed from some.

 

There's your problem...should have found a dealer...Horns years ago were mounted in that fashion where the horn is connected to the front edge of the dash.

If you want to, you can trim the horn all the way to the opening. That whole flat area that extends from the mouth can be trimmed as appropriate to accomodate the contours of the car.

I highlighted that section in red on the attached image. You can trim that out as necessary to get the horns as far back and to the outside of the car as possible.

It looks like you need to trim those plastic kickpanels, trim the horn bodies, and get them pushed further toward the firewall. Pushing them further back will help your stage a bit, but at a minimum, you should work to level out the passenger side.

 

damn, i had no idea you could do that. thanks man

 

what are horns typically crossed over at? Do they play much into the midrange?

 

This is primarily a function of the horn body size and the crossover slope. The steeper the slope and the larger the horn, generally, the lower it will play.

Generally - horn's are highpassed at 500-1300Hz. So, an ID mini horn should be highpassed at around 1-1.1kHz if you have a -24 dB/octave crossover. You can go a bit lower, but that's the recommended range. The full body horns go down to around 700 or 900 Hz, and some custom built horns (i.e. those used in the Speaker Works/Richard Clark GN) go down to 500Hz.

Those are all approximations and generalizations...

 

cool thanks a lot maybe one day ill get to try them.
