I mean what horn do you have?

I just replaced my stock horn with a Wolo Bad Boy air horn...

... and I was half expecting it to blow my hood off. But it's kinda underwhelming. It is a few octaves higher in tone and seems louder but it's no tractor trailer horn by a long shot. The reviews on Amazon.com for this horn were good which swayed me to buy it. But with it installed, I'm not sure I like it.

So instead of trusting mass-market review, I'm going to a reliable source: jk-forum members! What horn are you using? Is it loud and do you like it?

 

I have the same one. It is okay, but I was also expecting a bit more out of it. I hope you get some answers!

 

How did you hook it up? You are limiting it if you use stock wiring. You should use a 30/40A relay and new 12v feed from the battery.

 

It's a straight stock wiring. I have the relay still. Maybe I'll try that instead. Can it be somehow linked to the steering wheel honker? From all I read, everyone has it wired to a dedicated separate switch.

 

Poked around a little and found this link...

Gonna try using the relay tonight and wiring 8 gauge line to the horn. The stronger power directly from the battery should do the trick

Thanks WhosUrBuddie for the tip! Will update with results (if I don't go deaf after the post-wiring test-honk )

 

Ha ha, let us know how it goes.

 

Let us know! I'm sick of my wimpy stock jk horn.

 

24in grover fire engine horn, 6gal air tank, cheapo compressor.

 

Hella SuperTones. 118db, which is loud enough to make you shit your pants if you unknowingly get blasted.

 

lol @ shit your pants
