    Has anyone here swapped out the weak Toyota horn for something louder? I don't want to do an air horn(yet), because of the air compressor needed. What kind of horn did you use? Is there any rewiring needed?

    Are they plug N' play or is wiring needed? Not a big deal either way, just wondering.

    Hella twin trumpets. Loud sound but sound has a better range. Just needed to splice wire to horns and then run grounds. Easy peasy.

    I heard the supertones but it was waaaay too high pitched for my liking.

    https://youtu.be/FEg1aDsVyHM 1:15 & 2:20 for comparison. The rest of the video is a bit long winded. Not my vid

    Hella Supertones, but if you like a deeper tone, you can always try PIAA. Amazon has it.

    I installed the Wolo Big Bad Max. Much louder and more masculine. I did have to bump the fuse up a little, nothing crazy though.
