How much are you looking to spend?
You can go with what JKgirl recommended and similar horns available through somewhere like JCWhitney.
Or you can take it up a notch and spend a lil more on something like Hella Supertone Horns. Apparently they are one of the, if not the best electric horns you can get.
Or you can spend oodles of money on Air horns where the possibilties are endless

I bought a 135 decibel horn off ebay for $35 and wired it in with a bigger fuse. Its a little deeper and way louder, and its keeping me happy for now....

I'll have to see how loud JKGirl's horn is when I hook up with her in the near future. (Sorry, don't any of you take that the wrong way!!)

I'm not sure what I want to spend, but I'd be willing to spend a couple of extra bucks for something that sounds good. I did go to Murray's for a new horn for my TJ after I killed it by swimming in some deep water a few years back. I wasn't impressed with it. It's just hard when you can't hear them before you buy.

I remember reading on some forum that a guy put a train horn on his Jeep. If I can find it, I'll post the link.

Found it. How does this look?

The son of a guy I work with got a "train horn kit", has everything, horns, wire, solenoid, compressor, tank....that thing hurts my ears it's so damn loud
I want one bad, he only paid about 300, got it off ebay. I could easily use it everyday.
