I remember watching the first videos of hornblaster scaring the crap out of people...don't think i ever laughed harder
yeah - I just did the same thing...i can't believe how loud those horns are.
It's so much money for a toy I'd only use a few times of years...but there are so many times when people are driving horribly that it would come in good use.
Oh the decisions...

The echo is insane lmao
imagine what that must have sounded like in person!!! microphones severly limit what we hear through the computer (plus our crappy comp speakers).
If i saw that rolling down the street on the back of an F350 dually and saw him honk the horn, i'd probably crash laughing.

never seen them on a tahoe, but I will have them on mine eventually. Seen them on couple other vhicles before!!
I'm thinking of the Italian air horn (griots) for my daily (wired into existing horn) and the train horn (smaller version) for when the occassion arises.
Some people forget this, but always mount the horns down (preferred) or sideways....they won't last long if water gets inside them.

Personally I want this one but it will have to wait until I get an on-board air system for my rear suspension and I will just tap into it. Will have to stuff under the body somewhere. Sounds like the fire engines which I think is a safe compromise between loud and insane.

Just bought this one!! I'll let you guys know what I think...for $60, I'm willing to take the dive.

I like the lower frequency @ 300htz this horn produces; hopefully it sounds just as good in person.
I also like this package b/c it includes the relay...should be a really quick install then b/c then i can utilize the existing horn wire for the signal.
Personally I'm not a fan of high pitch "tinny" sounding horns...and I don't foresee myself spending the money on a true lower freq air horn. But then again, when i bought this tahoe I never envisioned 90% of the mods I've completed.

Liking that Stebel unit as well.
This thing is ridiculous!!
I was finishing up a few other things this weekend on the Tahoe's cooling system and then my mustangs brakes...so I wasn't able to install it, but I did hook it up to the battery.
It's quite loud and the sound is pretty much identical to the sound byte. The kit is pretty bare, it ONLY comes with relay and a screw + nut....you will need 10g wire (30a capability) and a 20 - 25amp fuse to protect the 30amp relay.
I'm going to wire it into the factory horn so I need to locate the factory horn wire. Essentially, that wire will be the signal to the relay, and the relay will be wired to the battery. (when i do the install, i'll put together a how-to).
You can also wire this with a seperate switch that runs into your interior cabin. I'm personally going to mount the horn (facing down) next to my second battery tray (driver's side fender wall towards the front of the vehicle).
Personally, this is the most excited I've been over a $60 mod

Should be dark green wire going down the left side lighting harness to the front of vehicle.
Thanks Sunlit.
I just went outside and checked my wiring. Coming out of the fuse box is a lot of reds, pinks etc and ONE green wire...is that the one I can tap into?
Per your point about it going down the left hand side on the lighting harness....I see a dark green wire that terminates into a clip (there are two other wires on the clip). This clip, plugs into another clip...this clip only has two wires going into it (the green one is no more).
This set of clips is about two feet away from the lights against the inside wall on the drivers side.
