Default Recommendation on louder horn upgrade

Not looking for super loud horn (like train or one that requires air compressor), but something louder than stock. Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks

Hella makes duel stage horns that should be easy to fit.

I tried the Hellas and they are actually a tad quieter than OEM. I removed it immediately after installing.

How do you like the Big Bad Max and do you have it hooked up with a relay? I was looking at that horn or the Wolo Bad Boy as an upgrade.

I like it, it's not bad for as easy of a install as it was. It has more of a deeper tone similar to a actual big truck horn. I didn't use the relay, i got another ford horn bracket and drilled the wholes out and bolted it to that and put it back in the same location. Then I used some quick connectors and taped up the factory plug in case I ever want to put the oem one back on. The bad boy has more of a high pitch sound that killed it for me.

Cool thanks. Any chance you could post some pics of the install and maybe a sound clip? I really need to do this. Where did you buy yours?
