So...there were past threads about a louder horn.
Some retrofitted a horn from a minivan (don't remember which one).

Well...how about retrofitting this?

It is a bike horn for a mere $12.
And is 115+ dB. LOUDER than a car horn.
It is as loud as a jet plane!
Heck it works w/ a standard 9 volt battery.

What do you guys think?

 

It is advertised for a 9V batery, and at 12 - 14.2 volts would most likely burn up quickly.

So the anser is a very obvious NO!

But you have my permission to do it anyway as it is your money that is being spent.

 

No? Damn...

 

115 dB is not that loud for a horn. Hell, you can get a 130dB replacement horn from JC Whitney for 14 bucks.

The van horn that I discovered is from a '90s Nissan Quest or Mercury Villager. Not necessarily crazy loud, but it's just a good sounding horn. Nice "honk", no "meep-meep".

My biggie with using the Quest horn was it's an OEM part. I've used aftermarket air horns in the past, and they haven't been that reliable. I wanted to put something on the car and have it go for a LONG time problem-free. Not to mention I got them for a few bucks at the pick-and-pull.

Yeah...I agree Dale.
Just want something easy w/o having to install a freakin' compressor and other crap.

 

The Quest/Villager horns are direct drop in, just a little minor bending of the bracket. Bolt to car with 10mm bolt, plug the stock horn connector on, good to go.

There's a writeup or two about it, search for it. Easy and cheap upgrade.
