Default Less "sissy" horn

So the old lady was driving the truck and was cut off. She's already worried about damaging the truck because all I've done to it. She said she hit the horn and I quote; "out came a little sissy horn, I wanted it to yell at her!"

So, where do I get a "manlier" horn that will "yell at her" Preferably on the cheap

Is there something clogging yours? Mine sounds like any other horn.

It's a pretty good horn (actually, it's two at slightly different frequencies). It's not like it's one of those Datsun horns from the 80s...

Just don't go all train horn - that's dangerous from a hearing conservation standpoint (to anyone standing nearby) and can cause a startle response in other drivers, which can result in an accident.

on a more constructive approach, I've used SuperTones in my subarus and my Audi TT with great results. much louder without being stupid loud. I got them for my TT because being so small people do not see it. but you can't miss hearing it.

EDIT: something that came to mind a bit later; She said it was sissy sounding. Is this based on the volume or the tone of the horn? While I love my supertones they are not very deep and hateful sounding, just louder. If you want a deeper more Big Rig style horn you might want to go a semi train setup.

I did this and a bad boy horn. I added them to the stock setup, and wired them to a switch that allows me to turn them off. They play by pressing the stock horn button.

I have that horn in my garage, can you post how you wired it into the stock horn? I'd just want it wired up to work with the factory horns

I'll see if I can spot it. I had it done at an audio shop while they were doing something else. The wires seem to go into the cab as that's where the switch to "enable" them is. I know they had to use the included relay.
