replacing horn

[Kenneth Cole]

Hi
Need to replace the stock horn and wonder what some have come up with as a good horn to use.

I’d see if you can get an air horn, I’m going to look into that when I get back from current trip.

I’ll post if I find something will do a good job.

I have a air horn setup for my Humvee I have yet to install. Came from a company out of the "lone star" state and was made per my request.
10 gallon air tank, 24volt compressor, wiring, 150psi switch, and a 35'' single air horn. I had a similar setup on my old turn diesel Ford Excursion and was a blast.
Plan to wire it to the stock horn button so I don't have to mess with different switches and keeps the install clean. Will post a thread on it when I get around to installing it.

I don't know how rural it is where you live, but when I added an air horn to my truck when I lived in the city, I kept the original horn and had it wired up so that I could select which horn sounded when I hit the button. That way I could give a "polite" beep when someone was sitting through a green light, but blast someone if they were about to run into me.

Personally I like the little roadrunner "meep meep" of the stock horn--it makes people smile when they wave and this tough looking military truck beeps like a VW bug. I'll admit I have thought about a similar dual-horn setup for my HMMWV... The tactical horn really doesn't get a nitwit's attention the same way a diesel locomotive horn would.

Hi
The problem I have with the stock horn is I can't even hear it when I'm on the road.

I went with this style of horn: https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-...ash=item41cc0bb95e:g:yc0AAOSwxYxUyhNg&vxp=mtr

Different brand (Stebel nautilus), mounted it and the relay on the outside of the splash guard where I could do the wiring easier and the sound would project DOWN.

Loud enough. I just want to get the attention of the texting moron running the red light/stop sign, not put a stain on their seat.

I also added an air horn on the splash guard, fairly easy, just mount an extra button. I did keep the original one.

I was just going to suggest the Roadrunner horn, but you beat me to it!

Meep Meep!
