Mm looking into upgrading my horn. i don't think its getting peoples attention. today some lady was stooped at a green light texting and i was holding down the horn and didn't phase her till the big truck behind me honk once. am not saying i want a freight train horn but something better anybody can give me some guidance.
by the way haven't been on the forum in a long time i finally got my first job
got some money to spend on the jeep
lol no matter how much i wanna ram them in the behind no pun intended lol i found a wolo twin horn kit on amazon now i need to find out where the stock horn is in my jeep i cant seem to find it?
There should be a double horn in the right front wheel fender housing behind the liner on the forward side. They are mounted to the rear side of the cross beam, behind the bumper and below the right headlight assy.
yup i found them i would have never have thought to look there thanks but now am wondering if i should splice the cables or not? does anybody what i should do?
If the new horn has an other type of connector, you could better shrink this new type of connector to the wires. Best is to have some sealed connector, so that water can not enter and cause corrosion.
Should be relay driven already? add your own horn. If you want a second horn, you can make a relay driven off the first horn circuit, or any switch you want.
Comes with its own relay. Has a built-in compressor, so no additional hardware to mount. Have your own wiring ready, or buy the wiring kit offered with it on Amazon 'cause it doesn't come with wires and you'll need a lot (to run to battery; to horn; etc.). It's a loud little beast, definitely gets the attention of the texters who drift into my lane!
hey guys i was wondering if anybody knew more about the double horn on my car only one ever seems to be used and that's the low tone and i was wondering if anybody knows whats up?
Loudness really isn't the issue. Car horns are made to sound melodious, not brash or obnoxious. They are usually 2 tones that compliment each other. What you want is TRAIN HORNS! They are usually 3 tones that are 1 and 1/2 scale notes apart, making them discordant and hard on the ears. For instance, train steam whistles are like B-D#-F or C#-F-A. The problem is finding the right third horn to add to the ones you've got.
I put '56 Chrysler 6V long trumpet horns on my '67 Camaro. They were loud but still not good enough until I added one of my original Chevy horns, then it was a perfect match with a CSX freight diesel! BOY, did that get attention! I actually saw people jump in their seats. Then they craned their necks around trying to figure out where it came from. Then I'd give them another blast. Those 6 volt horns drew a lot of power on 12 volts so I had to use a relay and not hold down the button long enough to burn them out.
I've been trying to figure out what notes the jeep horns are but, alas, I'm no musician. GM horns used to be marked with their notes. If anyone figures this out, please post your findings.
