Default well, with my horns in... i cant hear anything else

they just scream at me constantly, the music isnt really sounding like anything else but the bass from the back and the horns from all around pretty much. not that thats a really bad thing :naughty:

i havent really tried turning the gain down on the amp, thats my next goal, but i think i need some higher quality speakers in the front to match with the horns.. right now i have some type-r alpine 5 1/4".. what do you suggest? maybe some Image Dynamics to match the horns?

thanks, price isnt really a concern, dont want to spend a ton though

for every watt you send those horns, you need to send 3x the power to an efficient midbass......

You also have them angled upward, an that will cause them to "beam" at you even more.

Gain them down, and remount them....

Turn down the subs, turn sown the horns, get an infinity system, because they have great midbass.
