horn?

i need a louder horn for my 71 roadster. any suggestions?

I like the Fiamm units that you can buy at any auto parts store.

I run a heavy power lead to a relay, then to dual horns (they offer them in different notes).

This one is not too bad either and it includes the relay at least mine did. It draws about 15 amps so you are going to need a battery. The one I got was totally chromed, don't know if they still have it like that.

I ended up designing the Electrical system around the Horn.
I am a "Horn-guy" and I wanted a "real" Horn, I ended up with a NOS 1976 Cadillac El Dorado Horn (Delco-Remey, it is even English-made!) but it draws 5.5Amps at 12Volts.

I am running 12G wire straight from the Battery (6AH) to the Horn-relay.

JC Whitney.com has a bunch of horns at reasonable prices.

The British magzine "Motor Cycle Weekly" described the Commando horn as "sounding like a bee under a bucket". ANYTHING would be better.

There was an interesting traffic court case in Lancashire when I still lived there. A young chap with a BSA Bantam had a badly corroded exhaust system. He also had an inoperative horn.

He got two tickets one for excessive noise and one for an inoperative horn. Because of the archaic language in the horn rule, he got off without penalty. The rule required an "audible warning of approach". His defense was that his faulty exhaust system made so much noise, nobody could possibly claim they hadn't heard him coming. A very wry, sarcastic judge dismissed both indictments.
