Oogah Horn:
https://hornblasters.com/collections/electric-horns/products/motor-driven-ooogah-klaxon-horn
I was tired of the underwhelming stock horns, like pretty much anyone who has honked theirs. Not the solution I wanted, but other spending priorities have taken precedence.
The horn, she draws under 5 amps. Had two schools of thought about wiring her in. Easiest was to replace one or both of the 3.5 amp stock horns as the horn circuit is 10 amp. Other thought was to run a full circuit with relay and momentary switch in the shift knob.
The switch didn't get here in time so went with the first, may switch over in the future.
Pulled the grill and bumper off. Wow isn't that fun. Won't bore you with the details, plenty of guides on it.
While I was under there, found out that either Carmax or whoever serviced her last put the skid plate on with only 2 of the 8 screws that it needs. Also didn't clip it in, get. Luckily had some hex bolts from my old motorcycle that fit in place of two of the MIA ones.
Then snipped the QD plug to the high horn and soldered wire connectors to the positive and negative leads.
Pulled the mounting bracket for the horns. Cut away where the second horn mounted, reversed it, bent it out, dremmeled a notch to fit the mounting bracket, and drilled a hole for the Oogah mount screw.
Had to do some plastic surgery to place the low tone horn more towards the driver's side.
Bolted all back together. Not sure if I would call it alot louder but definitely a different sort of noise. I like it.
