sickspeed horn boo!
Thought I'd be a good hubby and install two Sickspeed horns on wife's 2010 Yaris for Xmas. Barely a difference, highly disappointed, big waste of money. Any opinions? Suggestions?

I'm not familiar with the brand, but I replaced the stock horn with two FIAMM horns (one high, one low). My first attempt was to run them in series to reduce the current draw, but it didn't work right. I ended up running a separate 14ga wire from the battery to handle the current draw and using the stock horn wire to drive an ice cube relay. It's still not as loud as I would like it to be on the freeway, but in an enclosed space it's deafening. Perhaps you could post up an install pic so we can see how you did it?

i bought some autozone horn that was rated very loud (based off of a normal, loud, very loud rating) and it turned out to be a clown horn. now my friends laugh even harder. good luck. let us know what ends up working for you.

I have it wired right from the wire that came off the old horn, then grounded to the chassis. I had to fabricate a little to get horns between the radiator and grill. I also bought the wiring harness ($17) that i didnt even need.

I just today installed 2 auto zone horns. Sounds a lot louder, also sounds like a car horn instead of a bird tweet. "Blazer dual tone, made in Italy, maximum sound, low high" less then 25 bucks. New horn 101 db, old horn 98 db.
