I have one similar to the Wolo air, it's 139 dB and I got it off ebay for like $40.

Friggin' SUPER-loud.

139 dB and a Q screaming, closing in on the the rear view mirror of some poor sucker, must be some sight!

Got a pic?

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 6:02 am

A pic of the horn?

No sir. But if you search "139 dB" on ebay, it's probably there.

I have the Fiaam air horns similar to picture # 2- sounds like a ferrari,but not as loud as I had hoped for.

ive got two horns from a 64 buick waiting to be hooked up. these horns scream "im a heavy american car and i will crush you" type of sound!

its a serious GTFO of my way sound!!

Post by **Ozzie** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 11:45 am

I have similar air horns to the second pic, except I have 6 horns with 2 heavy duty compressors in place, instead of the 2 horns pictured....

Cool cool. What cell did you buy? A Nokia 95 by any chance?

Post by **Ozzie** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 5:03 am

Sony Ericsson W850i....

Can make a video too if ya like.....I made wires up for the old horn, so I could show the difference in sound.....You'll have to wait another 9 hours or so though...... Don't think the neighbours would appreciate a blast of 6 air horns at 1AM

Post by **lino** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 5:39 am

The W850i is a great phone. I've only had 3 Sony Ericsson phones so far. I had an W800 the first week it was released, but dropped it in slush/snow puddle while trying to get out of the car in the middle of rush hour traffic and...well...I just left it there. I ended up replacing it with a W550 and I also got a W600 for backup. These phones have worked great for me, not quite as exquisite as GoldVish, Vertu, Gresso, etc... but do exactly what I need them to do.

About the horn orchestra....was that your doing or did it come with the car? How loud is it and does it play a song?

I run dual Stebel Nautilus.

Off topic, but since the subject of cell phones and photos has come up, I have a question I hope someone can help me with.

I have a Motorola V3m "RAZR". Is there a way to download photos from it to my laptop without having to buy special software and connection cables or adaptors?

Thanks.

No, the horns didn't come with the car, that was my doing.... I had some crappy lookin' horns.... dunno what they are, but I haven't seen them before.They sounded awful, and didn't suit the car at all. (only way I can describe the sound is... Imagine an amplified WB Road Runner "beep beep" to Wile E. Coyote...)The air horns aren't musical.... I can't see a luxury car rolling and playing "La cuca racha".... that just seems wrong

How loud? Video soon....

How do you like them? Would you replace them for anything else, or are they what you like? I've heard of people buying some of these setups and finding them no as loud as they thought or not sounding like a Ferrari blaming the plastic trumpets instead of metal, etc....

Japanese horns are wimpy. No one ever responds when I beep the horn. They think it's a scooter.

Thanks for the lead. Those folks sure aren't as well organized or knowledgeable as those on the NICO forums though. Looks like I'm getting spoiled here. Trying to find specific issues there is like being a dog chasing his own tail. Looks like I'll have to register to find anything, just what I needed. I'm registered on so many forums to learn a few things that I can't even keep track of them all anymore.

Thanks again lino. I'll keep digging there and other places. There HAS to be a way to get photos out of that phone without using the phone to send E-mail messages back to myself through Verizon's extra-cost "V-Cast" application.

I like them as they are much much louder than the stock. First time I tested them, I was deaf for a moment after the test activation. My friend borrowed my car and someone cut him off. He went on the horn and was shocked how loud they were, and the car in front of him changed back into the other lane. They are rated at 139db each, whereas the stock ones are more like 120db combined.

Post by **Ozzie** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 3:56 pm

Here are a couple pics of the stock horns... (Or at least the ones that were in the car when I bought it)

Having trouble porting the video over from the phone..... Going to need some time to sort it out....

Post by **jamesmost** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 1:37 am

hey now, i have been through a bunch of different air hornd wolo, fiamm,hella. if u install 2 sets pretty good.now i have a train horn setup. compressor and air tank in trunk and horns behind bumper. loudest in the road - stops trucks and busses, makes little children cry, newvous systems tweak and everyone at bus stop jumps in communion.best place to get if ftom Charles (nice guy) here is link , u need the full kit triple train horn, the other train horns out there will not fit anywhere on ur car. and the ones from hornblasters.com are too expensive.Link: http://stores.ebay.com/Siege-Engineering-Equipmentu cna get a souynd clip from his site, i could not attachbty i also upgraded my valve to a mad $60 industrial monster that amps it uo by 35% more.

Post by **Ozzie** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 4:48 am

Train horns.... nice!But I did my whole setup for AU$60 (around US$50)I can't get the train horns for that price, as much as I would love to

It's not bad enough the way your car looks, you had to go with the angry loud setup. People must get scared. I guess when you're in a hurry and got pedal floored while flashing your lights and beeping your horn....everyone must move.

Got pics?

Post by **Haitian_King** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 1:50 pm

yeah man.

My Q's horn sounds sooo gay.

Lke here's this sleek, sexy, luxury car and some feminine *** sounding horn.

Damn Nissan and their silly horns.

How hard is it to replace my stock horn myself?

What would I be looking at for labor if I took it to a mechanic?

Post by **slinger5150** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:13 am

I just went to a salvage yard and took the horns off an early 90's Buick Park Avenue. They sounded like a train horn, only not as loud as an actual air horn setup. Still way louder and much more noticeable than stock. Cost me like $7 and I wired them in in about 10 minutes.

Here is what James' setup sounds like. Not sure if it's the first one or second one though:
