I'm thinking in terms of price and in terms of tone and sound. I WISH for the life of me I could use this as the 'Horns' for my 2 2x15 cabs (getting another one tonight) but I doubt that'll happen without major surgery. So... what should I put in this? I'll be using stevem's K-150 when he comes back from wherever he went on vacation (speaking of... er... another post).

JC, not sure I know that much, but I have been around Kustoms since 1966. On the 2x10 horn cabinet. It is 2" narrower in width than a K200 2x15 cabinet. So you may want to stack it on top of the amp head. If you do put the round horns in it from Parts Express, you will want to use 16 ohm drivers and wire them in parallel. you will also want to use a crossover to protect the drivers from low frequencys. Kustom used a simple capacitor of 4 MF at 50vdc. Wire the cap in serie from the input jack to the first driver. So in a perfect world, your 2x15 cabinet should be 8 ohms, the horn cabinet will be 8 ohms and both cabinets to the K200 will be a 4 ohm total load. I see the horns in PExpress suggests a cross over point of 1600 Hz. Someone may want to jump in and let us know where the 4 Mf. cap cut off point is. If I remember right it should be around 2K.
