New Horn tone(s)

[jumbosrule]

Just completed an easy mod I do with all my cars just to personalize them. Went to a local Auto-parts store and bought a low-tone horn. It comes with a grounding lug and crimp connectors. I spliced into the wire connection from one of the FXs native horns. Used the exact same bracket the stock horn was already mounted to and the same grounding lug location. Had to re-orient the brackets to keep the horn openings pointing down (otherwise they catch rain). Took about 15 minutes. Now when I honk, it's obviously not stock.

In the past I have gone to junkyards to pull old car horns. 1970s American cars had the best loud honkers. I say if you find a horn you really like - take it to your next car. Attached a couple pictures.

That's the nice thing about a junk yard. All you gotta do is hook up the horn to a battery to hear it. 12V is all it takes...

Posting a sound clip...

Hope this works...

I did that with a siren and one of those large batteries. Set it up so that when people walked in the classroom I would touch the wires and blast them.

Got some feedback from some friends today - they say it sounds much "bigger" - almost like a truck horn. I got thumbs up from them. They agree with the "official" mod name -

Tri-tone horn mod.

I found out you can search on youtube to hear other horn sounds...


I just purchased a pair of these :

Weak ass horns belong on weak ass cars, like Hondas.

Dual Hella Supertones are popular with the Subaru crowd. Looks good too...

I had the Hella supertones on my Landcruiser. I have no sound clips, they were loud (but not raspy). Great on the freeway and when the alarm kicked in you HAD to take notice.....thinking about getting another set for my FX.
