Are there some photos of the speaker alone and/or installed in an automotive setup that I could view?
Thanks.

A horn doesn't have to be corner loaded. Klipsch horns are designed to be, because the boundary wall continues the path of the horn. Corner loading IS very beneficial for horns because of the boundary effect, but it isn't necessary. If you're using HornResp, this can be specified by the percentage of space you're using. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 space are the most common.
I had actually been responding to Koa's post on his mixing room, not cars specifically. However, if you want a horn in a car check out Bill Fitzmaurice's autotuba,
