Copter,

USD Audio did well with their prducts in the early and mid 90's unfortunately I don't think they "advanced with the times" Eric Stevens @ Image is continously working to improve the performance of thier HLCD's new materials for the horns molds to improving the drivers year after year.

The ID horns are also a bit more user and install freindly.

There is still plenty of work to be done we have to fab up the amp rack trim panels and cover/trim panels for the Cap and floor sub as wells as new rear door panels.

Not to mention the hours of tuning tat still need to be done.

Took a road trip today about 700 miles about 10 hours. The system with the carnexit and a DSATX work great. Only one little thing happen the carnexit got a little hot and went into standby mode. I pulled over and got gas chilled for a few and started the truck back up and the power supply came back up and work for the rest of the trip no problems. Very happy with both of these power supplys. I'm running the computer on the DSATX and I'm hammering the carnexit. I'm running 1 10.4 and a 8 inch monitor. A DVD and a powered 7 port usb switch all on that carnexit and its just fine. After 6 hours and the worst thing that could happen is standby mode for a few untill it cools off a little hell i can handle that.

Ya' the Holdaway's seem to have dropped off the planet. I was lucky and got to demo the Speaker Works Buick as well as Harry Kimura's Acura and a few others they built. I met Eric Stevens at a show in Ventura back in tha' day and from talking to him he pretty much copied the WaveGuide and put his own spin on it. I got to demo Eric's Sable (remember that one?) for about a half hour and we discussed mounting options for the horns. Some guys I worked with in the 80's were using EV horns in the defroster vents and talk about dynamic stage and placement. WOW!!! Eric was very interested. Remember Mark Elridge's 4Runner? He used WG's on the dash.. Anyhow so much for the trip down memory lane.

Wow I haven't thought about the buick or the acura in years. Those were some incredibale vehicles. as was Eric's Sable. Mark's for runner was awesome I listened to that one a few times. You should see the Nascar he has now. Very cool. was here with it last summer for Nopi/IASCA.

I'm using it on my big PC right now. I'm sure if you look around the net you can find them cheap.

after a Long winter rest I think we will get back to this and finally be able to get it close to a finished product. with fiberglassed amp trims and floor panels. oh and gotta get some rear door panels done.

I think system wise the system is broken in speakers sound great and are nice and tight now. Final system tuning should be getting done here in the next month or so just in time for summer shows.
