Default Horn issues

I need to replace the Air Bag Clock Spring on my 94 F150. It seems to be a pretty straight forward install. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions of what I need to look out for? Also, I would like to replace the anemic sounding horn in this thing. It sounds like it came out of a Yugo. Looking for something that sounds like a mid 70's Lincoln or Caddy.

I did mine about a year ago - pretty easy just make sure you disconnect the battery before you pull the airbag. You will need a steering wheel puller. The threads on the wheel for the puller strip out really easily so make sure you have the right sizes the first time.

Check out youtube for videos - pretty sure I learned how to do it there.

Never messed with the horn before.

Try checking to see if both horns are hooked up. They are by the battery.

Would love to hear more on putting some ***** behind the horn. I hate using mine since it sounds so whimpy...especially on a truck with a 6" lift and oversized tires...

mine had 1 horn unplugged and it sounded like a little car unhooked it found the other horn was disconnected hooked them both up and it sounds manlier then the one on my 2003 haha. So I'd try that first.
