help! looking for a new horn - 10/15/2006 10:19:47 PM

So I'm sick and tired of having a hummer with a vw bug horn, and I want to do something about it..

I don't know the first thing when it comes to horns, so I was hoping that somebody could shed some light on this for me (and probably others). Are our H3's 12v vehicles?

here is what I was looking at getting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dual-Air-HORN-SUPER-LOUD-Car-Truck-Horn-12V-horns_W0QQitemZ300038043113QQihZ020QQcategoryZ10076QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
its 135db, which I know is a bit on the rediculous side of things, but I figured that their ratings might be from a couple inches away or something like that, and its better to go overkill because of that (?) The kit comes with a new compressor, which I think it would need.

would this kit work with our H3s? is this kit any good? any other recommendations?

Thanks all!

I dont know anything about that particular manufaturer or horn, but all civilian production models in the US have a 12 volt starting system at the least. I believe 135 db is about how loud a semi horn is.

Maybe I have the "special" H3 but my horn is really loud and sounds like a REAL horn. Maybe yours is defective ;-)

I really like the sound of some of them, but those are some expensive tooters!

I'm glad you guys could shed some light on this for me! Thank you!!!

I really didn't even think about those horns sounding like the air horns at football games, that would have really pissed me off if I payed for that!!!! I think that I will give the horn that Dennis and Chris suggested. I figure that I'm due to go back to autozone by now anyway

especially since I accidentally pressure-washed off some of my paint on my muffler this weekend (you don't have to say it, I know it was dumb to get so close with a 2700psi pwasher!)

thanks again for leading me in the right direction with my 'tooters' lol!

I went with the Wolo Model 200 "Twin Power" horn set. Sounds really good with the stock horn connected in parallel. Fit nicely behind the grill.
