Can anyone recommend a good horn for a 72? one that will fit under the tank like stock. My original and aftermarket horns are basically useless. Thanks.

I got a bunch of horns from a salvage yard from import cars, 4 for $5. There are two connection type and one connection type. I got the two connection type. I think these were Denso. After blasting and painting they were much better than any aftermarket horns that I've ever bought before.

Could you install them without too many modtifications? Any idea what make, model and year of car? Thanks
Maybe Mazda or Nisson, not sure. I just used the brackets that were on them, they were just like the ones on my Hondas. If they blow a fuse or heat up my horn switch I'll install a relay. Should be okay using just one horn.

I believe you are right. Can't have too much horn with the crazy steel cage zombies out there!
Do you remember which one
I'm curious
I'm seeing this setup and it looks like it comes with a relay but is 110Db very loud ?

Depends where it's measured from. The standard would be 1metre from the horn, but many manufacturers cheat and measure 1ft from it.
Then there are the usual crop of ebay and Amazon sellers who make outrageous claims, of course.
The Mercedes horn I got from the salvage was also loud
maybe louder than any Motorcycle Horn
There was / Is no speed limits so the fast lane was really fast so I believe the horns was louder to be heard far from behind

Hella # 012588061 No relay.
Is it louder in your opinion than the stock one, loud enough to make a difference ?
The price is right

In my opinion it is much louder than stock. You'll be impressed.
I'm using a Fiamm horn on my SG. It's as loud or louder than a car horn.
Jim does that one need a relay to work ?
