Hey Guys need your help was driving today and some guy cut me off and I used my horn and I realized how weak the factory horn is and was wondering if anyone has mounted Hella Horns on their Civic (preferably Hatchback)?

Sounds good. I will also need to hire someone to do it. Please let me know once complete how it went and how much it costs. I just purchased a CTR and the horn really is bad. Thx.

Sounds great...he kept the stock horn connected too so now I have 3 horns ha! I am considering taking it back tomorrow to remove the stock horn. Not sure if 3 is drawing too much voltage as I know zero about that stuff. Will call tomorrow. Install was $75. He said the bumper renewal was the biggest pain.

Not voltage , current. Voltage is alway 12 volts on a car.
On Amazon, Hella horn work at 12 volts with 180 watts of power = 15 amps. This is a lot of current.
I hope your shop know very well how work the new Civic, if not you may damage something on your car.

1 - If they know this Civic very well (?) they may be use the existing relay if they know it can handle new horn power.

3- Or they use their how relay ?

3- Or they did not know how car horn work and they do fast and bad job by linking new horn with Civic original horn. Somme issue are coming ...
Run away from this shop
