Unleash the flood waters .

The ones in Gates' new beast seem to making many people drool as of late. Think they're Audiobahn/Illusion?

They use the Illusion Audio CH-1- which is the best sounding horn (to me) that is made. Please, please do a search on horns (I have been saying that all along)...and then ask any questions.

Basically with horns, you'll have to run(or atleast in my opinion) the top of the line horns from any company or they are not worth running over conventional drivers, and even then they might not be. I don't use them. If you can do speaker placement real well, I would do convetional over horns. Then again, if you decide to rebuild your whole dash such as Jerry Zeigler did, you might be successful there also.

Best horn?...Lets see...the Bach Stradivarious trumpet is a great one....Ooops!....wrong Forum.....
Anyway, I heard the Team Gates Explorer last year at Finals and it sounded great! If they have managed to get the truck to sound better this year then I would have to say that the Illusion Audio horns are AWESOME. I hope I can hear it again.

hi there winslow, uncle ber! i am resurrected

used to go under the handle JeLL-O and RTA_Frontstage (stupid sounding name for a friend's shop :-))

horns? well well, debate will always be there. but i still use my Veritas 66 horns. I used to drive them with a zapco 100w x2.

I tried a butler TubeDriver on them and it opened up the soundtage and i was pretty pleased till I tried an old Milbert Bam230 on them. I had to check if the speakers were out of phase since the soundstage was so wide.

ill continue to keep the horns as kickpanels on right hand drive cars are a pain.
