there both the same height. and i think you get more db's from the 186 people say the 186horn sounds a little more musical than the 1850horn and that the 1850horn can have a hard sound. i think this is down to the driver used in the 1850horn.

it would be cheaper to build 186horn as the pd186 is a cheaper driver to buy. difficultie wise to build id say they were both the same.

have a scan through the 1850horn/186horn ection theres quite a few answers in there that will give you more of an idea about the two.

Couldnt of said it better myself, i have 4 186 horns myself and love them. Make sure you stick a pd186 driver in them tho and not a cheaper alternative, it makes a big difference imo.
