I had this:
It was loud enough but woulnt respond fast enough to "chirp" when i set the alarm. The 4note set-up will make you jump out of your skin.

What is it about 139dB that people would rather spend more money on 120dB or 123dB horns?

I went with this:
This horn has a deep tone, not a high pitch like the other one referenced...sounds closer to a big rig horn.
i also kept one of the oem horns (of the two) installed and just used the same bracket although I had to bend it a little. Here is a pic of my install:

So with both the oem and bad boy wired in, there is no doubt when I trigger the horns.

Here's the install I did on my little old Nissan Hardbody. Each horn has a mounting bracket. They ground via the bracket, so make sure its a solid mount.

I went with Kleinn Air Horns. Not ridiculously loud, but loud. Plus, I now have an onboard air compressor that does good pumping up a tire. Plus, will make air suspension install easy.
