    Interested... a long time ago I wanted to piece them together through eBay parts. But I couldn't trust what I was ordering so I never went through with it.

    Since I have an ARB I'm probably not going to need the valence bracket.

    Gotcha, Keep in mind these use the metal bracket as a ground plane so you will need to attach the brackets to the frame or chassis.

    Hmm... could I run a ground wire from the bracket to a bolt on the frame maybe? I guess I will find out.

    OP any idea which horns are on the classic cadillac deville of the 80's? The el dorado is more high pitch, but the fleetwood deville was lower tone, and was special sound.

    That's to late for me :(. Being pissed long time ago about Tacoma/moped horn I went cheap and got two FIAMM freeway blasters. Actually they bolted right on to bumper brackets (no mods) and wired straight to original circuit. Yes, it is not a Cadillac sound (which I love) but for sure made the difference on the road.

    I found that the DeVille and Fleetwood sound about the same - these were all A, C, D, and F horns made by the same manufacturer. The set I just build for someone came out of a Fleetwood - in my testing I found they're identical besides how the brackets are shaped.

    This setup will work for any car regardless of manufacturer. The reason I put it in the 1st gen section is because I designed the bracket with the 1st gen valence in mind. It will most likely fit in most cars.

    You could do that. If you bolt the stock brackets to the frame it'll ground itself.

    Well, interested.
    Never wanted something that required air and I would bet this is more reliable than the Chinese crap that's out there.
    I never get around to doing projects that require wiring.

    Yup these will work with the 01-04. I just confirmed the connectors are wired in parallel and will function.

    These will work with any car that has a horn than sends a 12v pulse to the horn.

    I will announce the pricing within a day or two - I just have to make sure I have all the different variations and pricing correct.

    The pricing will be competitive with other aftermarket horn setups - nothing too expensive.

    Can I put you down on the interested list?

    Oh trust me these sound just like train horns. If you really wanted to be extra I'm offering a package with 2 systems daisychained to one - making the system have a total of eight horns.
