This is a discussion on Need a loud, LOUD horn... within the Audio/Video Electronics forums, part of the General Discussion category; Whats the loudest horn I could get for around 50 bucks or maybe a little more? I dont want to ...
Whats the loudest horn I could get for around 50 bucks or maybe a little more? I dont want to have to run an air tank. I just want something really loud to scare the crap out of peopl when needed. Doesnt have to be really low ptiched or high pitched, just loud as heck. I was looking at the hella triple horn kit which is right in my price range. Does this replace the stock system or what, I would kinda like a seperate dash-button for it.
Any other loud horns ($100 max) yall would recommend instead?

I was looking at those earlier and they are little out of my price range. I just cant justify spending $250 on a horn...
yeah, but the hilarity of those horns and the reactions they'd evoke would be priceless.
i'd love to have a horn that sounds like a steamboat rather than a train
I know some guy here got a horn with a 33" trumpet and it sounded like a cruise ship...
Do a search on ebay for air horn.
Less than $20 buys you a 135db tankless air horns ( plus shipping ). I've seen the same in autopart stores for $30-$40 a set. I'm told a regular OEM horn is only around 100db, 135db is quite a bit louder.
They have some super loud 155db setups on there...$250-$500.

My fr iend took one out of a big truck. He has a air tank though under his tuoneo cover (sp) and his horn is LOUD. He honks at the other bigh trucks and they honk back but his is always louder.

I could watch that forever. It's freaking halarious!Originally Posted by 96tahoe2door
Ok so say I have the horn, how would I go about wiring it up so its seperate from my factory horn?
I heard a train go by from a few hundred yards away the other day and that completely sold me on the idea. I found a set on ebay I like,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRUCK...04792656QQrdZ1
is that kit any good and would that be all I needed for it to work?
Also....could I add a bigger trumpet to it later for a deeper sound, or what?

You need to have an air tank on your truck with the lines running to the horn.

It's a different sound than the train sounding horn in the video, but, you could find a cheap air horn off of ebay made by whelen, code 3, or some of the other folks that make police equipment. You would just need that and a speaker which you can normally find pretty cheap.
110 DB's in a low frequency isn't very loud......if you want train horns don't puss out just get the horns from honblaster.com and get a compressor and tank kit from them. Thats the only way you will have a true train sound. Otherwise your SOL and will be dissapointed when a cheapo ebay horn doesn't fill your needs.

Dang that sucks....
So it looks like im either gonna have to go with a high-pitched horn thats cheap but loud
or
an expensive horn that is loud and low
does that sum it up pretty well?
Might as well spend some money and get somethin real loud that you'll be happy with.
