Default Horns!

I'm interested in buying the PIAA sports horn 400hz-500hz and I notice that it comes with two horns. Will I be able to plug in one of the horns into the factory wires? What would I do with the other one how would I hook up the other horn?

Are there any other loud horn alternatives that are less than 50 bucks out there I would be able to buy at a local pep boys, checkers or autozone?

Thanks

Matt

yes, had to fab brackets ( primer and paint also ), mount them, then run wires to a relay, mount the relay and then run a power wire.

That stock horn sucks. I’m too embarrassed to ever use it. Maybe you can show it too me next tome I fly out Broken Arrow. I know I could barrow my in-laws unlimited X if you want to show me some off road places out there.

Nice Job too bad i don't have the time to do that. I bought one of those FIAAM Freeway blasters low tone for 20 bucks at pep boys its a lot better than the stock horn and works with the stock wiring.

Where do you think would be the best place to mount it? I was surprised that this one 20 dollar horn was good and loud.

If I wanted to buy the other horn that its suppose to be paired up with the high tone would I be able to simply tap the power wire from the stock horn wire and hook it up from there?

the freeway blaster is a pretty good one, I was at pep boys last week and saw that one The fuse might blow if you hook up two of them without a relay because if I remember right the stock horn is low voltage besides anything is better than that stock duck call
