The elements. If u were trying to protect urself from 80 mph wind, would u want to be out there on the tip of the wing, or behind that big inner fairing and windshield? Horn have much more presence so u have a better chance of getting away with it but the first choice for either the tweet or horn is the inner fairing footprint. The Rushmore guys cannot afford to give up the petroleum gauge and the electricity gauge, thus the tip of the bat wing for the horn. 13 prior guys pull the UV Index gauge and oil temp gauge without a concern and mount horns there.

If it's ur only option u just have to do what u have to do, but tweets in grills is top choice for me.

Thanks. Just not a big fan of the "boob" look and covering with grill cloth looks like it still leaves a little bump. Purely an aesthetic thing so I may try and use a bracket behind the grill like BT does with their proline 7.1s

Well we can't all be cool but putting if putting horns there would work I might have to think about it.

Thank you to Haze and the Bagger Audio Lab for helping put this together and sharing your in knowledge. Now hurry up and finish testing on the piece im missing lol.

I to




Edit:

Just to make sure, I'll be upgrading my RCAs. Taking all of my KnuKoncepts out and putting Stinger 8000 series in. Will i audibly notice any difference? At speed I highly doubt it, but some parked there is a chance so I'm going for it. Figured new build needs new everything.

Windering the part your waiting for is he same one I am waiting for to be finished testing.....
I hate waiting games.

I too decided to step up all my rcas and went Stinger 9000.
