Default Let's talk horns

When I got my truck I immediately replaced the pathetic and weak factory horn with a 4 note horn off of a 70's Cadillac. I wired all 4 horns with a relay directly to the battery. It sounds fantastic, but I need more power. What are you guys using for loud horns? I'd probably wire it with a switch and leave my sweet Cadillac horns in place, but be able to either switch between horns, or fire all of the horns.

Yes, I like to be obnoxious.

I bought the Cadillac horns also. They are plenty loud for me. If you need more obnoxiousness, maybe you should consider air horns.

I want air horns but living in Michigan I fear salty winters would ruin the compressor and other parts.

Yes, I made the horn bracket, out of stainless steel.

Hood security box: Most F150 owners, and (fortunately) most crooks don't know that with a simple screwdriver, you can open the hood of an F150 in seconds. I did it myself before I decided it was a good idea. Kinda scary. The box fixes this weakness. I made mine, but you can buy one here: http://www.trucksecurity.com/TScom,%...guardFord.html

HTH!

Let's revisit this. I bought a Steubel off Amazon the other day, and tried it directly off the battery today. It's loud, but not loud enough. Debating doubling up and adding a second, or going with something different. Anyone tried the WOLO bad boy?
