LOUDEST horn. Atlanta traffic...

The battle SAAB needs a more imposing horn. Just a little surprise for those fun no signal last second divers. I'm thinking locomotive horns in a smaller package. Best factory horn?

Wire in a dedicated 30amp relayed horn circuit with heavy wire, grab 3-4 horns of various tones from large German and American cars at the pick and pull.

I think GM might still sell the old Cadillac quad tone setup, might look into that.

I've noticed that the Hella Supertones are popular with the Subaru rally-driver wannabe crowd. Never understood why, but they might work for you. (118 dB)

I had a pair of those. They're loud but I hate the way they sound.

I love Fiamm dual tone air horns. They make any car sound like a Ferrari.

I was looking into a cheaper and/or DIY version of the "Rumbler Siren" a lot of emergency vehicles are using now. If you've experienced it, it definitely got your attention. You feel the low frequency rumbler more than you hear it.

Rumbler combined with something like the Supertones would be the end all get the berk outta my way horn.

I put a Wolo Big Bad Max (#619) horn in a customer's '54 Chevy. It's 123dB, 320 Hz. It's the loudest they make that isn't an air horn.

My customer wasn't happy with his previous horn. It was pretty quiet, and didn't really have the punch for when people did something stupid in front of you in traffic. They notice now.

I had a fiam duel tone on my miata and they were great

You want the GM Remy Delco 4 note system (aka: Cadillac horn)
Quick eBay sample

Make your own. Sure to get people the berk out of your way.

My Subaru rally-driver wannabe friend has a set, they're adequately loud, but aren't very authoritative.

Train horn. They'll never forget you.

I listened to some sound clips on YouTube and settled on low tone PIAAs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ndc9fN3twk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I had an 83 Riviera XX Anniversary with the GM tri-note horn. Not only was it loud, it sounded like the Queen Mary. Ahoy!

I had horns similar to these under the cowl of a BMW bike because, well; you just don't see motorcycles.

But they certainly heard me!

These are $19, you could spend more.

I should have been less cryptic with my previous post.

I was just looking at it, it is an air horn but it's an all-in-one unit so you don't need a separate compressor.

Airchime K-5L?

The Hornblasters horns are a similar idea, but considerably easier to find for sale:

I knew a guy who knew a guy...

Real surplus train horn mounted on the back of his semi cab. Anything approaching a 3 second blast turned on the low-air warning light for his air system. He was supposedly hauling large plastic pipe once and the sound cannon effect took out the windshield of the car behind him. Might not be true but it sounds good.

This thread is relevant to my interests

Yea I should have said the loudest they make without having to buy a compressor. It's a loud one. We tried it in the shop for him. That sold him on it.

A friend has two sets of these under his F250. Not enough air though, but will still make you E36 M3 your pants from two blocks away.

So what is the standing reccomendation for a Miata?

Kinda need to do something to help with the DC area insanity, the stock stuff isn't cutting it.

Looking at the Wolo Big Bad Max, but can the horn circuit in the Miata take the amperage?

Being that its an STS car, light is preferable. So big awesome systems are tragically out.

I have a harbor freight air horn in the F150. Not expensive and louder for sure. Hooks straight up to the regular horn relays.
