Sean,

The ones they use as they're approaching an intersection.

I Like the 1510.

Somebody down here has a set of Nathan K5LA that his GF gave him for Christmas on his P.U. [UnGodly LOUD]

Air horn off an 18 wheeler & a little electric vane compressor has them thinking their world is about to end !!! Gives them a bit of hurry up nice & quick.

Yea but that would probably vibrate my car apart.

Not to mention my ears as well.... but I do know where there were some big rigs in a junk yard......

The hard part is finding a small 12v vane compressor. You only need 1 of the 18 wheeler horns !

I recommend wiring them in parallel. In series your going to have voltage drop because each horn, basically an electromagnet, has a certain resistance. I put 6 horns on mine in a big cluster and stopped at 6 so I dont draw to much current through the horn contact however im considering adding 6 more with the aid of a relay and a direct connection to the battery

I'm thinking of adding two under my rear bumper for future soccer moms!

Their so easy to wire in and can mount almost anywhere and with the aid of a relay there's really no limit to how loud you want it to be. Lol

So the stock wiring can handle 6 horns?

We have two more on our parts car in good shape.....maybe I will swap them onto my car this weekend so I have 4.....

Can always add more later!
