Horn

Anyone know where to get a aftermarket horn for a 07 HD? The one on my truck sounds like a sick animal and not very loud.

When I worked at a dealership, I had a truck come in and it had the same problem, horn sounds weak and like it belonged in a small import. Take a look at the horn and see what direction the hole is facing...think it is called the throat, not sure. If the hole is facing up, it will get full of water and other things and sound weak. To fix, remove the horn and pour out the contents (by turning it over several times), then re-attach and try it again. Should sound alot better after you do this. Just make sure that when you put it back on, you have the hole facing down.

I'll have to check the horn in my truck. The horn in my Buick is louder!

Mine was the same way, very weak sounding. I found that our trucks have a 2-tone horn system, in front of each front tire there is a horn, one of mine was not working, I replaced it and now the sound level is just fine and it sounds better, before with only one horn working, it sounded like a clown car horn.

Or carefully drill a small hole in the throat of the shell at the lowest point (as long as you don't damage or enter the diaphragm area). We always drilled a hole in the air piping going to the horn on submarines. We always had a problem with the horn filling up with water.

Thats a sick set up you got there. I can only imagine how powerful it sounds.

 

I'm gonna do that public address set up. They are pretty loud and sound really cool! I had the wolo triple trumpet horn, was a real cheap product made out of plastic and the hoses always popped out on me. I liked the air horn sound much better then boring stock horns. I have a public address on my CB Radio that I had onced hooked up on one of my prior trucks, but wasn't that loud cause CB output was lame. With my Alpine head unit, I can now run it into that, then out to external speaker and have power now with public address, haven't tried it yet though. The head unit has Aux in's, so it would work. But I don't have any special sounds with it.
