    Bringing up this post because it’s first results on google.

    Just did mine. With baffles 85 dBA. With baffles 87 dBa.

    Keeping in mind dB is a logarithmic scale, 3dB is the same as doubling your power. That’s a hell of an increase.

    The tone is not as pleasant but as the other guy mentioned who cares. I have retro dual Porsche trumpets in my other car for the tone.

    You have a typo in there. Are you a car stereo installer? I'm curious how you knew that fact about db and power is all (conversation).

    I'll be removing that cover on the horns today :)

    How are the horns supposed to be able to fill up with water when they're already angled down?

    Sounds simple, I'll give it a shot. 12mm to undo the horn brackets, pry the baffles off, 10mm to loosen the horn from the bracket, turn them downward, putem back in. Looks like I can angle the right one outwards more than the left one. Take it back out, put it back in a vice, snapped the stud off the horn. NICE. So now I have half the sound but slightly louder than half. Oh well.

    I wonder if anyone knows, I noticed on the horn harness, an additional 2 wire connector attached to nothing, what its for? It comes off the harness just before the 2 connectors for the horns. Am I missing a part like an air temperature sensor or something?
