    I hit my panic alarm by accident the other day and noticed it’s much louder and dual tone compared to my regular horn. Anyone know how to wire it up for my regular horn to sound that way?

    IIRC, there are legal limits as to how loud a regular horn can be.

    Order a set of hella sharptones and set of supertones then wire them in tandem. It’d be like less than $60 including wire and more horn than you could ever want.
    Or go all out

    Thanks! I was looking into train horns but damn they’re expensive. Old caddy sounds decent enough.

    The Hellas are really nice and inexpensive. Obnoxious without being deafeningly obnoxious

    Thanks for the pics! I just add a jumper wire from horn to security horn? Should I add a relay?

    No need for relay. Maybe a diode for isolation. Toyota uses relay coil negative for actuation.
