Directional Clarity That Shapes Your Soundstage
The PRV Audio WG17-25 Exit Horns Screw-On Mini Waveguides are built for car audio enthusiasts who want precise control over their high frequencies without sacrificing output. With a bi radial horn dispersion geometry delivering 60° horizontal and 40° vertical coverage, they focus your sound where it matters most. This means tighter staging, fewer reflections, and a more controlled listening experience inside your vehicle.
Clean Power Transfer With Flexible Driver Fitment
These waveguides use a screw-on 1-3/8 inch universal mount, making them fully compatible with standard 1 inch exit compression drivers. That flexibility makes system matching easy whether you are running PRV Audio components or other compatible drivers. The high efficiency exponential loading design helps push your highs forward with better clarity and definition, especially in loud mobile setups where detail often gets lost.
Built Strong for Custom and Everyday Installs
Designed with reinforced ABS structural housing, these waveguides stay solid and non resonant even under heavy output conditions. The 3.18 inch mounting depth and wide 4.57 by 5.11 inch cutout support make them easy to integrate into door panels, custom pods, or fabricated speaker layouts. At just 0.24 lb, they are lightweight enough for clean installs while still delivering automotive grade durability for daily driving, motorsport use, and outdoor audio environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why does my PRV Audio WG17-25 not fit my compression driver?
The WG17-25 is designed for compatible drivers with specific mounting patterns. Always confirm the bolt pattern and throat size before installation.
- • Can I use the WG17-25 in a custom speaker cabinet?
Yes, many DIY builders use the WG17-25 in custom PA speakers, stage monitors, and high output speaker cabinets for controlled sound dispersion.
- • Why does my horn produce uneven sound across the audience?
Uneven coverage is often caused by incorrect waveguide positioning, improper mounting height, or aiming the speaker away from the primary listening area.
- • Why do I hear rattling noises when playing at high volume?
Rattling usually comes from loose mounting hardware, cabinet vibrations, or an improperly secured compression driver rather than the waveguide itself.
- • Can the WG17-25 be mounted horizontally or vertically?
Yes, installers often rotate the waveguide to match the cabinet design and desired sound coverage while maintaining proper driver alignment.
- • Why does my compression driver sound harsh with the WG17-25?
Harsh sound is commonly caused by crossover settings that are too low, excessive equalization, amplifier clipping, or an overdriven compression driver.
- • What is the most common installation mistake with the WG17-25?
One of the most common mistakes is not sealing the compression driver properly to the waveguide, which can reduce efficiency and affect sound quality.
- • Can I use the WG17-25 for outdoor sound systems?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor PA and event systems, but it should be protected from moisture, direct sunlight, and other harsh environmental conditions.
- • Why does my speaker project sound farther than expected but seem quieter nearby?
Waveguides are designed to control sound dispersion, so speaker placement and aiming play a major role in how sound is distributed throughout the listening area.
- • How can I get the best performance from the WG17-25?
Pair it with a compatible compression driver, install it securely with an airtight seal, optimize the crossover settings, and aim the waveguide correctly to achieve smooth, even sound coverage.
