5rebel9 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Not that we use the horn often, but the low tone horn is not working. Here's my dilema .... The horns on our '11 work fine, but my son wants to upgrade to an electric horn(no extra wiring or changes) that sounds like a modern train engine horn (or very close to one). I decided that his Christmas present would be to fulfill that wish. And then swap the low tone from his to the '14. I'm not much into "online shopping" other than rockauto. Does anyone have any suggestions or can post a link to a known reputable site that can handle what I'm looking for? TIA 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) This site seems very decent, but high end salt water rated type stuff. Florida located; really like their audio sound clips, fun exploring the site. https://hornblasters.com/collections/train-horns/products/mini-outlaw-black-train-horn Amazon is pretty risk free for a cheaper version train horn. Probably not air powered, so more compact. . Easy for returns if isn’t what you expected.

The one they show for MOTORCYCLES looks "intriguing", will have to contact them about actual sound it gives and if the DJ's stock horn pad will work as they show a separate horn button in the highly suggested wiring kit for it.. And I guess that I'll try hunting on AMAZON ... I'm very leery with EBAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 If you click on audio file box on the dedicated horn site, it will play the sound of every horn listed Some of the prices are scary. I think it's commercial grade marine stuff, full stainless hardware etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFL Unfortunately the motorcycle system does not sound much like a train horn and the others look to take quite a bit of space for AIR pump/tank mounting. I'd really prefer plain all electric(no air) horns. BUT that site is really "the cat's meow"! Going to try and get some time to search on AMAZON soon.

John/Horace Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Yeah it’s crazy what these guys make. Must be a market for it. I think member Locosiete with his air ride suspension system has to be add one of these bad boy air horns. He has the compressor and tanks etc already. Horn could also keep up to his killer sound system. Perfect for car meet fun. ? https://hornblasters.com/collections/train-horns/products/mini-outlaw-black-train-horn the-battleship-horn-kits.html 5rebel9 and Locosiete 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Oh my gosh! I forgot about this posting....time to bring it to an end result! My friend gave me the pair of horns from a DJ he was scrapping out. Popped the top of the grill away {not total removal} and within 10 minutes the switch was done and back together and working FINE. NY motor vehicles law says passenger cars are decibel limited/ no air horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my luck the FIRST TIME I'd use the horn...... I would be caught and ticketed. Locosiete and John/Horace 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
