guys with airhorns. question

[Chapel]

whered you mount yours?
I have a compact airhorn (its about the size of two stock electric horns stacked together)
just wanted to get some ideas on where some people mount theirs

on a side note... mine is 140db at 4ft :)

[KenC]

Is it this one?
I got mine from Griot's Garage. http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=77839




I mounted it on the driver's side where the stock one was. But I pointed it forward. I mounted it to the same little flat piece of metal that the stock one was bolted to.

Is there a soundbite anywhere for that horn?

yeah, go outside now and I'll honk it.

If I had a laptop I could get a soundclip of it... but I dont...

It sounds like a horn on a Ferarri or early Porsche... high tone. (I think it says the exact freq. on the website).

My wife bought me the Hella units but they are not airhorns and a custom signed Lithograth of my aircraft to go in my future study. Boy I need to get her something good next month for our 10 year mark.

I was thinking a new Diamond neclace but she would never wear it.

[Chapel]

thats the one!
tidy little unit, isn't it?

[KenC]

Yes, it's much smaller than I thought it would be. Have you hooked it up yet? It's LOUD! And I love the high tone. Read my post above for mounting instructions.

[Chapel]

cool
if tomorrow is nice, I'll toss it in :)

What is the point of a different horn? Stock ones didnt do it for you? I hardly ever use mine.
Just a question

[Chapel]

you drive in the areas that I drive in and you'll understand the upgrade.

[Chapel]

The screw is just the right size for that hole in the corner
so no drilling required
I tried to fit it to the stock horn location, but the mounts were totally rusted and I couldn't remove them

I can give it a light tap and its more of a 'hey hey' beep
but if you lean into it you get 'get ze fuck out of my way, I'm driving a BMW, you peon' horn

Exactly!

I've got mine in the stock location pointing forward. So it's essentially right behind the bumper pointing through the front valence. It's... LOUD!

[Chapel]

its not as loud as I thought itd be
lemme ask you this...
did you use the passenger horn plug and splice it or the driver.

[KenC]

I mounted it on the driver's side. I couldn't get those flat bar mountings off of the passenger side horn.
I didn't splice anything. I just unplugged and unmounted the driver's side stock horn. Then I mounted the new one to the stock spot on the driver's side and plugged it in with the stock wiring.

[OOMPH!]

go ahead.....I'll be outside in 5 seconds. Ready when you are! :D
