I feel the need for a new horn. Something a little less "beep beep" and more tone.
What are the Hella Supertones like? The ones sybir has on his car?

They are higher pitched and are something like 160-180 dB's... :shock:
I am also looking at different horns...

I would appreciate it...thanks.

I like my cadillac horns myself. Pull 'n save for $6, because the three caddy horns are a "single horn unit". Basically, because the 4 horns (I could only get three) were what composed the horn on the cadillac I argued it was one part and they agreed. Here's what they sound like:

Anyway, I got them out of an 88 seville. If you get an eldorado set of horns, they sound like train horns. Those were the ones I was looking for.

They are trumpet style horns, so you have to do some figuring on your own. I mounted down just below the valve covers. Let me get some pictures. You have to drill out the hole that is threaded for standard threads (how it mounts in the caddy), and then you just run the positive wires to each horn, with some splicing, and bolt on.

I love my supertones. less *beep* and more *BEEEEEEEEEEP* ;) people let you merge haha.
Mine have the grill on the front painted white, it looks ill behind the black grille. They are plug and play ish, you have to wire in a relay because they need to hook to the battery. 30min install.
