Wide Coverage Sound That Fills the Space
The PRV Audio WG23-25 1" Exit Horns Screw-on Throat Waveguides are built for car audio enthusiasts who want big, open sound coverage without losing control. With an ultra wide 100° x 40° dispersion pattern, they spread sound broadly across the cabin while keeping vertical focus tight for better imaging. This gives your system a more natural, balanced stage that feels full without sounding scattered.
Serious Efficiency With Clean High Frequency Detail
These waveguides use an exponential flare acoustic design that helps push high frequencies forward with more efficiency and clarity, especially when you turn the system up. They are made for 1 inch exit compression drivers, giving you wide compatibility across professional and car audio setups. The screw-on 1-3/8 inch 18 TPI mount keeps everything locked in securely, so your driver stays stable even under heavy use and vibration.
Built Tough for Custom Installs That Last
Constructed from durable non resonant ABS, these waveguides are designed to stay solid and vibration free even in demanding mobile environments. The large format geometry improves sound spread and off-axis response, while the optimized baffle layout makes installation into door panels and multi speaker arrays much easier. With a lightweight yet strong build, they are simple to mount but tough enough for long term daily driving and high output systems.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why is my PRV Audio WG23-25 not producing any sound?
The waveguide itself does not generate sound. It must be paired with a compatible 1 inch screw on compression driver that is properly connected to your amplifier and crossover.
- • Can I install the WG23-25 in a custom speaker box?
Yes. Many users install it in custom enclosures for car audio and PA systems. Be sure to verify the cutout dimensions and available mounting space before cutting your enclosure.
- • Why does my compression driver not thread onto the WG23-25?
This usually happens when the driver uses a different thread standard. The WG23-25 is designed for standard 1-3/8 inch 18 TPI screw on compression drivers.
- • Why does the sound seem too directional?
Waveguides are engineered to control sound dispersion. Adjusting the mounting angle toward the listening area can significantly improve overall coverage and listening quality.
- • Can the WG23-25 handle high power audio systems?
Yes. The waveguide is designed to work with high output compression drivers commonly used in professional audio and competition car audio systems. The compression driver determines the actual power handling.
- • Is the WG23-25 suitable for outdoor speaker projects?
Yes. Its durable ABS construction makes it a popular option for outdoor speaker cabinets, powersports vehicles, and other applications where long lasting performance is important.
- • Why do I hear distortion when I increase the volume?
Distortion is often caused by amplifier clipping, incorrect crossover settings, or pushing the compression driver below its recommended operating frequency rather than an issue with the waveguide.
- • Can I paint the WG23-25 to match my audio system?
Many DIY installers paint the waveguide to match custom interiors or speaker enclosures. Using paint designed for plastic surfaces helps achieve the best finish and durability.
- • Why does my horn vibrate during heavy bass?
Strong bass vibrations can loosen mounting hardware over time. Tightening the mounting screws and reinforcing the installation surface can help eliminate unwanted noise.
- • Is the WG23-25 a good upgrade from a factory horn?
Yes. Many users upgrade to the WG23-25 for improved sound projection, better efficiency, and compatibility with high performance compression drivers in custom audio systems.
