Not sure what u r asking. Kind of a long and windy dialogue here.

If it's what I'm thinking, no way would I mount a horn in a grill cutout but those could be my famous last words. Not usually enough clearance between the horn and the speaker driver. Horns r pretty deep.

I see alot of people putting horns in the mirror holes. What advantage do horns have over tweeter if any.

Mirror hole is really the only option I see for horns if ur a Rushmore person that considers the fuel gauge and volt gauge fairly important.

The tweet is sort of the next step towards the horn. The horn is effing loud as hell so if the tweet does not work then the mirror hole mounted horn takes u to the next level.

This shix really really never ends!!!!

So mounting the horns or tweeters on the grill in front of a midrange is not good.Pull the mirrors out of the faring and put the tweeters over those holes .

^ no you can put tweeters in your grills with no issues. If you use horns though you will have to drill a larger hole and place them where your mirrors are.

I am looking for some plain grills for the 14+ batwing that do not have an emblem in the middle that block the tweeters of coax speakers. I currently have the HD boom II grills and the CS grills also have an emblem in the center. The Hawg Wired grills are only available for 13 and earlier.
