I honked my stock horn at a jerkoff that pulled out in front of me when I was doing 50mph in a 45. I laid on the *** horn for like 20 seconds lol. If you pull out in front of someone and they have to brake pretty damn heavily to avoid hitting you, you're in the ****ing wrong. I hate those idiots.

 

I ordered a Wolo Bad Boy on sale at Northern Tool. Would prefer a deep truck-type horn, but in an emergency, a shriek is just as good as a bass tone- maybe even better. The "twice as loud as your stock horn" is what sold me.

 

Our Hella Supertones have DEFINITELY gotten peoples attention. One lady went so far as to cover her ears

 

any soundclips? I want a new horn after laying on it this morning. The dude probably laughed at me.

 

Most horn manufacturers have sound clips on their web sites. You just have to look them up.

 

okay thanks, I'm just feeling so lazy today ;/ sorry

 

I use Hella Horns, nice and loud. Shakes the frame of my car haha

 

Don't ride the horn pad too long. The 15A fuse will blow.

(Don't ask me how I know ; )

Upped the fuse to a 20A, but I will not ride it long again, just the same.

 

Check YouTube for supertone clips. There are plenty comparison clips

 

Why hasn't anyone just put the previous gen Fit horn on? That was the common mod on the 8th gen Civic forum to make it sound less "wimpy"

 

I put in the horn from College Hills Honda
Low note horn - 2.4 liter - 2.4 liter 2007 Honda Accord coupe $18.52
It is a Bosh Low note horn and it fits like a glove with no modification required.

 

Thanks for the heads up Craig. I intend to use a relay for the Wolo to draw direct battery power to it, increase the horn fuse amperage, and keep the stock horn in place. A short bump on the steering wheel horn switch will produce the wimpy "Meep" that we all don't like, but a lean on it will bring both horns into play.

 

Good move!

That's my second move, installing the relay system.

 

One of those horns is for the Alarm...

 

It is literally plug and play. Yes the horn is bigger (buy only the low note horn) but the one I got looks like it was made to fit there... and there is enough room not to conflict with anything. You have to remove the bracket with the std horn. The replacement has it's own bracket and mounts to the same spot and snuggles right up to the hood latch cover without distorting it. . The connectors are identical and the power ratting is close enough no fuse change is needed.
BTW this low note horn replaces the stock horn (by the hood latch) not the alarm horn.

 

The compressor motor on an air horn typically requires a lot of juice. The horn circuit fuse on a GE Fit is only 10 Amps, and not knowing the size of the wires, I decided to run a 14 gauge wire (with a 20 Amp fuse) from the positive terminal of the battery to a relay, then a short 14 gauge to the horn, and use a 14 gauge ground wire. It's very reliable and very loud. The relay requires a separate ground wire.

 

Just bought a pair of "high" tone PIAA sports horns- from Amazon, of all places, they have the Hella supertones and the FIAMM freeway blasters too. Sooo, my New Year's Eve craft activity will be boltin' these babies onto my '10 Fit.

 

i have the accord horn

 

I still have the stock horn. I haven't upgraded it because I don't use a horn. If I find myself in a precarious situation I will use what few fractions of a second I have taking evasive action and not leaning on the horn. I learned a long time ago I wasn't going to teach the world how to drive.

 

I'll likely go with the Stebel Nautilus. We use them on our bikes too. Great for getting peoples attention. But as Seldon said, will have to run a separate circuit as a 10 amp fuse won't cut it.
