Rich and Bob---GET THAT HORN! I put a "Bad Boy" in my Speedster and love it. Brother, it IS loud and you will be heard!

Just remove the old horn, put the same connections that went to your stock horn onto the Bad Boy and you are in business.

This is a safety feature for your car---just like a rear third brake light and rear reflectors (those little square ones). We need all we can possibly do to improve the safety of our cars and these things help with that.

More than a few of us run these.

I bought the Bad Boy after a run in or rather back in with an SUV.

VERY LOUD!!!

Harbor freight tools carries the bad boy horn on sale all the time and many of the auto mags in the last month or two had a 20% off coupon that can be added as well.

Quit screwing around and mount one of these babies on the hood of your Speedster---not only will you blast 'em with 133 db's you will possess a look that is rare in the Speedster community!

Pick up a big truck air horn at a truck stop ( $129.00)and plumb a compressor with a small holding tank ~

I pulled out my VS horns and put in a pair of Cadillac Escalade horns. They are not offensive but are quite clear and, I think, make people believe that your car is bigger than it is. Works for me!

Griot's Garage has some nice air horns that were a bolt-in substitute in my car. I like the way they sound.

Lane also holds a stock position in Griott's Garage.......

I pulled twin horns out of a 1990 Subaru, they are not tinny, they are slightly dissonant, gets your attention. Big plus, they were free. I had to use a relay though to turn the grounding output of the horn button into a +12v at the horns. Good idea anyway with duals. Originally, the single that came with it was TOTALLY LAME.

my Volvo s80 twin horns are very loud and create a definite beat frequency. When the old car gets near death (144k and just hitting her prime now) I will consider pulling those horns and mounting them in baby.

i picked up a set of dual tone horns from a MK5 Jetta on vwvortex.

$40 if i remember correctly. I aimed them down/forward (so not to collect water (if i ever drive in the rain).

It's plenty loud enough.

I run these Hellas.

118 db is pretty darn good. I have never NOT been able to get someones attention when I lay on the horn. Usually results in an immediate swerve back into their lane followed by an apologetic wave or the finger. They sound ugly but work very well.

110 dB is equiv to the sound of a chainsaw at 1 meter
120 dB is the threshold of discomfort

So then that FIAMM at 132 db is like what - getting some errant weld spatter dropped down your trousers?

.....getting some errant weld spatter"
That sure ain't no fun for sure,not fun when it drops into an unlaced work boot it doesn't cool and kinda just keeps sinking into the ankle.

I had a city truck make a right turn at a red light in front of me. I stayed on the wimpy stock horn for a while and he still didnt see me. I picked up a set of the Hella supertones with 118 db of sound. I made 2 1/8 L brackets so they face out of the horn grills. Now I am heard!!! Huge difference over the stock one!!!

That's one of the best safety upgrades you can do to these cars!!

I really wanted a surplus WWII battleship fog horn, but it will shatter the windshields in front of you! Gets attention though!
On youtube there is a train horn for your speedy!

Hey Bob....
blow this!

Bwaaaaaa...

Well I did not go out and buy a ship horn But I could suggest where to put it. (being careful not to get ugly)

However i did find a good loud combo ,that I like that ,I now use on both my cars. It took some experimenting , but I got it.

Go to a Advance Auto and buy a Hi and low tone universal horn pair. Make sure you mount them on a thick rubber loop strap made from a old big rig mud flap and make sure you run good grounds to them.

The rubber loop helps suspend the horns and improve the tone. And you get a true European horn note. (that is plenty loud).. I Like them ,and have had good feedback from people about them

You guys want air horns?...try www.airhornsoftexas.com. Good luck with your neighbors.

Being a purist I bought some NOS 356 Hella replacements from Jorge at sierramadrecollection.com. They sound close to a VW Beetle but with a dual tone which is what the originals had.

Grab any GM dual electric horns from a wreck for $5 ( or a lot Mall near you...they're cheaper there :) they are way loud~
