After reading this and many other threads here on louder horns, I just ordered the set, FIAMM 74100 El Grande, for just under $20. Added a few other little things I needed to get free shipping on Amazon.
Keeping the OEM wiring, relay, and hopefully the 10A fuse, as well as decent two-tone, louder than stock without being obnoxious (or illegal ... but do like those train horns!), and mounting location were key factors in my choice. But, of course, so was the sound produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsBHUm6adC8 Thanks for the info! I'll likely make a custom jumper, but time will tell. The current housings are shown as red, so I'll likely paint them black. And will remove/recycle those grilles which are there for looks (and would very slightly reduce the sound level, but also slightly increase the reverberation if still installed). What drove the need for this mod, and the dash cam, was a guy who almost hit me while backing up in his 3/4 ton pickup down a street. He apparently couldn't see me, nor hear me laying on the Yaris's horn despite his windows being open. |
