Loud ass horns - who's got 'em?

[SnowDrifter]

'05 Tahoe. I want louder horns. The 15 year old ones in there are.. Ehh. Can't really be heard at freeway speed.

Market's saturated with chinesium, can't tell good from bad.

Who's got good ones? I want electric, not air.

I added 2 Hella horns to my nbs when I had it, I just faced them forward on the bracket behind the grill, pretty easy to do and they held up for several years, they are metal and pretty much water proof unless you plan on taking them swimming. all you have to do mount the bracket, tap into the horn positive wire then just ground them to the same mounting bracket

they are a different pitch than the stock horns so you get a mixed sound but it does what is intended

they make those and one called sharptone and one called hightone

Do you happen to know what plug the stock horns use? It's that same 2 prong plug I see basically everywhere, just don't know what it's called. I'll just make my own add-on harness/splitter thing

no it's been a while, if you just pop your grill off you should be able to access everything pretty easy, now you have me thinking about some to my nnbs haha, but my Denali has twin horns already and there actually not bad
here is a comparison of the supertone -vs- sharptone, I like the supertone better

if you just go on ebay and search "gm horn connector" virtually any of them show up

you could also upgrade yours to the nnbs ones for the same price I like my stock ones on the Denali

Last year, I installed a safe at a you-pull-it type of salvage yard. While I was waiting for the safe to download it's profile, I walked the yard with a small car battery on one of their wagons and a piece of scrap wire and touched it to countless horns until I found some I liked. I was getting them for my girl's car because she wanted something more commanding than the squeaky Mitsubishi factory horns. I think the ones I settled on were both (high and low) tones from a Traverse or something like that. I left the factory connectors on them and cut about 12" pigtails where the wire joined a larger wire harness. I installed them in conjunction with the factory horns. Having four different tones blasting all at once, they're obnoxiously loud and only cost me $6.

The Hella's were too high-pitched for my taste. I bought a pair...... The lower tone was still too high, but I used it with my OEM horn as a 2-tone...old truck is gone now.

I’ve got 4 note Cadillac train horns in mine. I have them hooked up with my stock horns. All 6 sound off at the same time.
