I was kinda shocked to see how quiet the stock horn is.(I'm used to having my truck horn) I bet in traffic other people cant even hear it. So, I had this idea. Train horns. I had/have a set on my truck that I'm trying to sell. So I figure, why not see if I can get the horns to fit on my car? here is a link to the specs/size of the horns.

I tried looking at the front grille, but it seems that it's all closed up and I'll have to take apart panels before I see if there is any even room to fit them there. Maybe somewhere under the rear? I'll be working on it the next couple of days, so maybe sometime soon I will have completed pics and a video if I can find a place to mount them...



p.s. here are a couple of video clips to show how loud the horns are...

F-150 has a train horn in his XA hooked up to his tank from his air ride suspension and man is that thing LOUD!!!!

 

Get an xB horn then. Its loud enough.

 

For $19.99....trust me these are loud.

 

The xA actually has twin horns. I added a Low-Tone Highway Blaster to the two stock horns. With all 3 it's louder and has sort of a European/ late model VW sound to it. I paid about $12 for it. All I had to do was mod the mounting bracket some to make it fit.

If anyone would like pix, let me know.

 

My stock horn is actually quite loud. I hate standing in front of my car when I lock or unlock it because it makes my ears ring.

 

lol

 

aftermarket alarm system?

i hate honking alarms....

the scion security for the xA (and only for the xA) has toyota's famous chirp... which i like... but stealthy alarms for lock/unlock is still better imo.

and jason.. hmm.. if you want train horns... go for it.

 

I've got the aftermarket KARR alarm.

 

well, I've decided to give up on the 4 piece horns with the tank and compressor(not enough room for my liking...)but I still want air horns! I'm looking at a smaller three piece that has a direct drive compressor built in. So all I would have to do it hook up a power switch...

 

How about something more practical?

 

man i pulled the horn oo a Chevrolet Silverado and never looked back

 

I have the 4 horns in the front bumper. I have the front bumper off now (in the shop again) so I will take some pic so you can see how I installed mine. Might give you an idea on how to install yours.

 

ok here you go! if you have any questions let me know.







not the best pics but maybe it can help you out
