Upgrading STOCK horn...Options

[06B7audiA4]

Im sick of the way the audi horns are, I feel like there so girly and not loud that I must upgrade...Obviously there are many options out there and Im just wondering what others think and maybe can help me choose but I am leading towards this :


There are also Hella Air Horns and other various. Thinkin this PA system could be fun tho as well..

in my is300, i'm running the hella twin supertone horns. they run about 60 bucks, and are very loud. it scares other drivers when i honk.

NIce...

I used to run the triple air horns in my MK4 GTI in the bumper...Itleast my placement now for my new horn will be in the spot where the stock airbox goes...

I ran these in my STi, LOUD!

only problem is.. there isnt really a good location to mount them.. I was trying to put them on when I had my bumper off to install the FMIC.. the stock horns are pointing sideways and are fixed with permanent clips, so its not threaded anywhere... plus you cant see em :/

a lot of the wrxs and sti's in this area are running 2 pairs of them (4 total), which i think is a bit overkill. but for real, these things are loud as hell. and if i honk these at a stop light, it startles the drivers around me. it's funny.

I used to have those Hella Supertones on my old Golf. They're awesome quality and are loud, but the pitch is a bit higher so it sounds really euro

Well itleast I will be... :P

[BriAnders]

if you're looking at getting a PA system instead of just a regular horn, get one that plays ice cream truck music. i put one in my cavalier a few years ago in high school... best $50 i ever spent. well maybe not quite the best, but sure was worth it just to see the disappointment on those kids' faces.

[virgsa4]

That hilarious, I had air horns im my jeep, but thry were higher pitched, and not that loud. I did almost make a some people fall down a few times.

[06B7audiA4]

Im getting this one, found it for 150$ SHIPPED, retails for 300...
Its pretty wild, and I'll enjoy Im sure...

Yes 150$ is alot i guess to spend but i feel like its pretty quality and will bring something new to the car...want to use it for my new theme in the mix :P

yeah our horns sound very euro... I prefer a ford truck type horn with a deeper sound. I'm assuming there is a poweramp that supplies a certain frequency to the speaker... maybe there's a way to just change that frequency for different sounds. I dont know if I really need anything "LOUDER" cuz it's plenty loud for me. I need a Bentley Manual

If it's similar to my Golf (which is likely) we have a harness which clips onto the OEM horn. I just cut the harness off, and brown=ground and hot color=power.

It's very easy, but you may need to make your own bracket which is also simple. I'll find a picture of what I did to my Golf later.

Nah, the horn just gets 12v power. There are two horns, one low tone and one high tone...pretty much the same as every other car....except for the asian cars with the tinny sounding horns. I think the B7 horn is pretty good actually.

Just wait til someone cuts you off... thats when you'll want something a little louder just to let them know what a jerk they've been

Hella horns don't care about polarity.

Had the supertones on my old Golf. Great. Then got the Hella Air horns... those are loud.

really?? hmm.. wonder if the 12V has enough power to supply other horns... something I might have to check out this weekend... now that I FINALLY have a garage... been living without one all my life... but just moved to a bigger house

bump for old topic

i plan to get the dual hella supertones eventually . anyone have these mounted in the front ?

[harryd14]

haha those videos are hilarious!!

i went to the Vorsteiner event a month ago... and some dude had a submarine horn.. or sonar sound... was pretty sick.. anyone know anything bout that horn?

[acray]

In the '75 Bronco that I drove for a bit, now just sitting at my parent's place, there was an ahooga air horn on it. It was a high quality one from the 80's, not the sick sounding ones you can pick up at Auto Zone now.

It was a great fit for that vehicle. It'd be so out of place on a B7 I wonder if it'd be even better or just plain wrong.

Any pics of them mounted ??
