New horn ??

[madface24]

I have plenty of people cutting me off and the stock horn isn't loud really.
so does anyone use these sickspeed horns ?

Amazon.com: Sickspeed 2Pc Yellow Super Loud Grille Mount Compact Electric Blast Horn Kit: Automotive

I know I cant put them in my self, so how much would it cost for someone to do ?

Easy to install really, if you have basic electrical knowledge...simple. Mine are up under the front wheelwell liners. The OEM horn is on the drivers side, but I put the second sickspeed on the passenger side to even out the noise.

I'd still like louder though..

My horn is so loud that I cant hear it.....


It gave out some time ago and I have not gotten around to digging it out.

 

[madface24]

ah okay, i guess i'll take a shot with them. i was just curious. any problems with them at all ?

 

[mitdr774]

To clarify my comment, my horn has been filled with water twice from fording flooded roadways.

I have been debating some Hella Supertones though.

the hella's and sickspeeds can be disassembled to clean/repair them. OEM type air horns just die.

The hella's & sickspeeds are a vibrating diaphragm which creates the noise...a very simple speaker if you will.

Is there any horn that one can simply substitute in place of the stock horn (making the install stupid simple) ? Or the stock horn does not have the right electricity for any aftermarket horn?

Sickspeeds...just cut stock wiring and plug into new horns. .. relay optional

Def want to use the relay or you may get weirdness when half voltage occurs like lock alert and first part of alarm.

I just put a set of the Hella Super Horns in my car. I was able to install them by removing the stock horn and mounting both horns to the bracket the single stock horn mounted to by careful positioning. I was able to wire them to the stock wiring without a relay and they work. My only question is that I thought they would have been much louder, would including the relay have made a difference in the sound volume?

The wiring kit I got with my hella horn kit for my STi uses the stock horn as a switch for the relay and the power comes straight off the battery. Your low dB issue is probably directly related to running off of the lower power of the stock horn. Mine make your ears ring if your in front of the car and hit the horn.

Yes the relay is essential

 

[striper]

I figured that was probably the case. At least the horns are louder than the wimpy stock horn even without the relay. I will have to set aside some time to install the relay to make it louder, plus I don't want to cause any problems by running the two horns from the single stock wiring. I don't usually wire things so inefficiently, but by the time I got to the wiring I needed to finish up in a hurry.

I bought a set of Cadillac 4-note horns off ebay. Added a relay and now I sound like a train. I love it. Highly recommended.

yeah, old GM horns are amazing! and not cheap

If you click on the picture I put up the post some you'll hear my horns. I posted that awhile back but it doesn't really let you know it's a video clip
