Since I just installed my 3rd crago brake light from buggman, I am on to perhaps another inexpensive mod. My fiance ridicules me on my puny horn so I was wondering what would be a good louder horn from a common automobile that might be in my local Junk Yard. I'm looking for direct bolt in. Thanks.

Please note I have no interest in train horns.

I'm not sure it is a direct bolt, but you could use one from a Super Duty, or a Mountaineer.

The AutoZone horns fail after a while. Dirt or water comes in and they start to sound weird.

Thanks for the tip on the autozone horns
 
I was doing research and a lot of people say the old mercedes horns are the loudest but they need 12 Volts. Any input on these?
 
No interest in train horns?! Wtf??? Lol try an F series pickup horn I sent one to Buggman and I think he installed it

Not an OEM Horn but have you looked at the Hella offering.
They sell a set of two horn that are LOUD !

Just a thought.

A little pricey but maybe the woman will buy them for you for X-mas.

would rather stay away from train horns since my budget is small, I want it too look stock (no canisters or anything) and dont want anything ridiculously loud, just something louder.... Any more suggestions?
 
heres just a quick lock button horn chirp on my F150....didnt want to set off the panic alarm...but i think you get the point

 
The horn Hooligan sent me a while back is a bit louder than the stock horn... right now I have the stock horn with 2 additional horns, one hi one low tone. They're louder than it was originally, but I still want louder.

My dad had a 90 something model olds many years ago & the horn sounded like a train horn, it was the loudest horn on a car I've ever heard.

For wiring, I ran a relay off the stock horn wiring to power the new horns so I don't ask too much from the stock wiring. No biggie though.

Most horns will only have one wire for power & ground through the chassis of the horn itself. I'd guess as long as it's a 12v horn, you should be good.
Remember, ANYTHING will fit with enough modding :D

thanks for the tips. I may look into an old Mercedes horn and see if that works. If not maybe an f150 or mustang horn.
