so i am glad i installed ...

Smart move---loud horn(s).  I got the Wolo "Bad Boy" which is a VERY loud air horn and our small cars need something to make our dimunitive presence known.

 

Glad your horn worked so well and that what could have been a sad occasion worked out well.

I have something from Speedway Motors - 3 horns and a compressor mounted in the front left wheel well.  Don't have to use them much, but when I do.......WATCH OUT!

Horn does not work, tried to find the wires and is very confusing, any suggestions on how to fix?

My horn has saved me a couple of times already. Would everyone recommend the Bad Boy as a good upgrade?

I have had the Wolo Bad Boy for a couple of years, and had no problems with installation (I installed it just inside the front wheel well so it could be heard, and used plenty of dielectric grease to keep the moisture out of the wire contacts). I used the same wiring from the pre-existing cheapo flat monotone horn that sounded like the one in the roadrunner cartoon.

 

The Bad Boy is a dual-tone horn that sounds like a newer Porsche horn. IIRC, I think I paid around $40 at Harbor Freight, but I've seen the horn offered by O'Reilly's and other chain automotive stores. You might also try eBay, etc., for a lower price.

 

I would have opted for the two-horn air-driven trumpet horns, but the limiting factor is space on the Spyders.

i'm thinking about one of these styles:

thank you all for the many wonderfull horns available. I was wondering how to locate the wires on the steering column or how to rewire new or old from start t finish. Any tricks as I am not very good with wiring.

I'm running a horn relay, so the wires coming from the steering column for the existing horn are used for the air horns as well.  In fact, if you are mounting the air horns in the same general vicinity as the old, wimpy horn, just splice into the same wire used for the old horn and it should work just fine.

depends on how your current horn is wired.  which way is it?

Boy I had one of those in Lowes last week! Guy lit me up with reverse lights! Holy cow I blew the horn and he took off in FW. I think ppl don't look for our low slung rides.

Thank you for the drawing, this should be very helpful, thanks again , appreciate it

I found people don't want you to beep the horn at them.  Had a guy backing up into me at the store the other day so I just pressed on the horn a bit to let him know I was there.  He called me various names from across the parking lot after that.  I was just letting him know I was behind him.  Parking lots are the worst for accidents.

Sassy--the Wolo Bad Boy just uses the same wires as the old horn---and no relay is required.

Inter, it's better to have some sorehead get angry for no reason than to get your car bashed in. If they don't realize that you are using the horn to alert them, that's their problem. What are horns for, anyway?

Wolo Bad Boy came in the mail today.  I immediately installed it.  Couldn't have been any easier.  Used existing horn connectors & one of the existing horn brackets with the supplied bolt, nut, & lock washer.  I didn't even have to drill a hole.

Btw. $38 from eBay & free shipping.  Arrived in 3 days by express mail.

what was that tom? what's with all the multiple posts around here?

 

Mango I've always wanted a big ass air horn! One powered by a compressor. One that would make a cat jump out it's fur at 50 ft. It's heart stopping and will probably get my butt kicked some day

 

There's a certain tone I've got to have..I think alotta' trucks use a 'C' of sorts. It's one note unlike a train or boat horn.

 

You know the sound..every little kid loves that sound when a trucker fire"s it up on the freeway when you give him the horn ' hand signal'

I grabbed a Bad Boy horn at Harbor Freight on sale one day. Put it on the M/Home.

I do think the Hella Dual Trumpet a/horn  I have in Blackie is louder, though.
