Finally getting rid of the anemic stock horn. This is a Hella 400/500 combo. The stock was a single 500. I have to make a harness and wire up the relay still.

Looks good.

Horny much? :wall: :lol: I guess that sounds pretty :ghey:
-
no airhorn for you? :wall:
-
So how does it sound? Same but louder?
-
Haven't had time to build the harness.

isn't there a honk relay from factory?

I haven't looked but the horns came with a relay as well. I should check though.

Ok, looks like the is a relay so I should be able to just hook them up.

worst case just replace the relay if they're rated differently, i doubt the wires would need upgrading.
-
It came with a 30A relay so I don't think I'll have to change it as that's pretty standard.
-
I did a similiar thing a few years back... Now it sounds good!

You got me thinking I need to get my Horn working again. So replaced the relay and that was it. So I had this laying around Bought it for the Harley and it did not fit anywhere out of sight.

The ad for it.
This is a full-power railroad locomotive/ocean liner type compressed air horn squeezed into a bike-mountable package. Totally overkill, until you need to wake up some lethal driver. It’s got both the high and low ear-splitting tones of the individually sold Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horns, plus a little more oomph. The 139dB high and low tone blasters combine via air induction to cut through the din and make the most distracted of drivers drop their cell phones and pay attention. Installs easily on all bikes with a 4.5"×3"×4.5" space for mounting. The loudest motorcycle horn available.
It IS LOUD. Ears still ringing.

Oh, I LIKE IT!!!

I had just put in an Airaid cool air system, to get rid of my funky one.
Well the Horn fits in that area Normally so I had to remove it. Got to looking at where I could put it and under the filter mounted to the airaid housing worked great. This horn has to face down so it does not fill with water. It is really protected where I have it now.

Those Stebel horns are popular for bikes. It's basically a mini air horn. Gotta be careful not to ingest water into the air intake though. You can separate the pump from the horn as well. Then you can mount it just about anywhere. There is also a marine version that's all white.
My problem wasn't loudness but the tone. Only having a high horn sounded a bit too frail. The Wrangler S's all came with a single horn unlike the higher models which came with dual horns.

Actually Mine is all in one no Separate pump.
Also they make a smaller horn for $17 I put on the Harley. My reason for doing it was the sound that came out of the squeaky little factory horn. I was embarrassed to honk that horn. The new one has a deep sound like and old Edsel.

No, what I'm saying is that you can take the pump off the Stebel Nautilus. It's not supposed to come off but people have removed it so they can mount the horn part in a location where it won't normally fit with the pump on there. Then you can mount the pump just about anywhere else.
-
The problem is the farther you move that compressor from the Horn the longer the delay from when You hit the horn Button till the horn makes any sound.
-
Well, I just clipped off the OE plug and added some QD connectors. Kept it simple. The horns sound a lot beefier. I ended up turning the horns so they're both facing down instead of having them face forward.

I could swear I was looking at a picture of my Jeep if I did not pay attention... I'll send you a pic when I get home to show you what I mean.
