Bought the Accord horn from Bernardi. Going to go pick it up tomorrow from Point Roberts to save on shipping into Canada because of UPS.

The Fiamms here. I had used them on street bikes before, and knew how they sounded.

Yeah I was thinking about getting the Bosch Euro horn as well. Is it deeper tone, and louder than the Accord?

I am going to go with the Wolo Bad Boy. I rarely use the horn, and want the "double the stock loudness" of the air horn. Since it is an air horn, with the compressor running off a relay, I will add it to the stock horn. A tap on the horn switch in the steering wheel will sound the stock horn, maybe get a small sound out of the air horn too, but leaning on the steering wheel will let the compressor spool up and make the Wolo scream. For the emergency situations that a horn is there for, both horns simultaneously should do the job nicely.

WOLO AIR HORNS, COMPRESSORS, AND AIR HORN ACCESSORIES
It appears similar to the Stebel Nautilus.

Here's the one I really want!

Air Horns Of Texas
If you wear the horns "you really want", you'll lose about 5 mpg due to wind resistance. It would be nice, though, to get that kind of sound without that size of hardware.

If I point them to the rear, the horn button will work like a nitrous button!

I'm trying to get the loudest, deepest horn without having to run a relay. I'm a little uncertain wrt electrical wiring.


Anyone recommendations?

Well, the Supertones are LOUD, not really 'deep' more of a discordant "tone" because there are two horns (300hz and 500hz). Do a search on youtube - there are tons of videos of people's supertones.

Also, I skipped the relay and they work fine. You just have to splice the one stock wire to the two horns and run two grounds.

Looks like I might go with the Accord horn.

Accord horn ~ $20 vs. Bosch horn ~$100



I really wish I could get a real loud deep trucker type horn in a small size, something to really wake up those drivers who don't look around before merging, etc...


Any other opinions?

likewise. i'd love a semi horn

...so this morning, a guy on his cell in a huge black suburban almost clipped my left headlight while he was turning into the parking lot i was exiting. of course, i honked my brand new '08 accord horn and woke his dumb ass up.
