Horn upgrade...any suggestions?

[vbrock1137]

I'm considering upgrading the horn on my car for something a little more robust. I want people to really take notice when I honk.

I'm looking for something with a nice, deep, intimidating sound that will be plenty loud enough to hear, but not too obnoxious. I don't know much about aftermarket horns and I don't want to pay for something that'll sound like crap. Does anyone have any experience in this area or any suggestions? Anyone know the decibel level of the stock horn so I have something to go by?

Also, would the install be very complicated, or should it just be as simple as hooking up the wires from the stock horn to the new one?

I got a set of Hella off eBay for $46.00 plus $8 shipping, plug right in, there loud but not annoying, just gets peoples attention. Hella is th only way to go. Stay away from air horns, they will get you a ticket in most states or not pass inspection, if you go air, auxiliary only.

At a cop shop, or city auction when they sell off old police cars, but you will have to buy the whole car. Sometimes they take all this stuff off including the "cop horns"
