    Well i painted my Rad today cause my billet grill is pretty much see through, and went to look for a spot to remount my horn, and i have no idea where to put it, and now it doesnt work (i mustve pulled a wire out of place).

    where do you guys have you horns mounted if you have moved them?

    Just moved mine over the weekend...They are up behind the battery now. Closer to the driver, and some folks have reported not liking the sound/feeling like the dash was vibrating when they honked...but I don't mind it.
    Thinking about getting Hella SuperTones now....

    Lol and +1 on the train horns even though I only use them on the worst of worst drivers. Gonna paint my stock horns flat black, the only person that notices them is the owner of the truck that is scrutinizing his own work.

    Yeah train horns are great! Until you do it to the wrong person and get shot.

    Not a LC9, it's a LCP 380 auto. It is so awesome for CCW, so small it fits in the small pocket of the right side of your jeans, shooting wise it sucks. Past 10yrds forget about it, but I love it because up close it is dead accurate and serves it's purpose. I would buy it again, sorry for thread jacking. I hate it when people do it to me and I did it tonight, sorry.

    I had the hella on my,...AHEM 1971 VW Bus, possibly not the SuperTones, but they were so loud especially for a VW Bus, the only thing I had to add was a relay. They got peoples attention.


    Final Bump Here...


    My Hella horns were bought second hand at a VW show, my Bus was old and needed a bunch of electrical work, but a relay was a must for those horns, and in my opinion my factory horn on my 1999 Tacoma sounds like something R2D2 would do after busting a nut in a TRS80. Outdated................

    Im all for making yourself aware your pissed off if someone is a dumb shit. IE: standing at a green light, cutting you off, etc. I just mean when your doing it to be a dumb shit is when you get shot.
