Move!! Get out the way...

These things rock!! My horns on the Volvo decided to quit on me during a hot Seattle traffic. So I started to consider an upgrade. Did a search and I was torn between the Supertones vs. The 3 trumpet air horns. Now I considered the fitment since Volvo engine bays are quite cramped so I decided to buy the more compact set. Installation was pretty straightforward and I did not even have to use the relay that was included in the packaging. After install I tested it out and yes it's quite audible for a few blocks. Long story short I am very happy with this purchase.

Unmatched Hella Sound

This is my 3rd set of Hella Supertone horns. The first 2 were purchased long ago to upgrade the sound of a Mercedes and Land Rover. They were made in Germany. This set was made in India. Other than buying factory replacement horns for a vehicle whose horn sound you like, buying horns based on an expectation of a certain sound or tone is actually quite difficult. I like the sound of the Supertones, but I knew that before buying them. They really sound like Mercedes Benz horns from the 1970s - early 2000s. If you like that sound, you will certainly like these. Others may find the sound kind of shrill. One thing is for sure: any prolonged blast is impossible to ignore. You will be noticed. You will be heard. These horns are directional, so attention and planning should be made to aim them forward if possible. The enclosed mounting "bracket" is useable only if you are replacing a similar style horn. Please note that you may need to fabricate a custom bracket to mount the horns properly. This is what I needed to do. Also note that these horns are actually quite large and may not fit where thd original horn was mounted. I prefer the slightly smaller 4 inch horn for ease of fitment. These were installed in a 2007 Ford Escape. I had to remove both inside front fender liners and the front bumper cover to access the original horn. Disassenbly and reassembly took over 4 hours. Fabricating mounts and installing all wiring to and from the horns and relay took a few more hours. It was worth it, but it was a full days work. Plan your time accordingly. I must note that you must use the included relay or be certain that your own vehicle has a dedicated 15 amp circuit for the original horn. Most will not. Failure to wire horn as instructed will result in lower volume. This voltage drop accounts for some of the poor reviews of this product. Also, the instructions are very clear only if you are used to reading electrical diagrams. Otherwise, they stink. Hella Relay Wiring Instructions: These instructions are for vehicles where the horn button supplies power to the horn when depressed and the ground is constant. Terminal 85: chassis ground Terminal 86: intermittent positive lead FROM steering wheel horn button TO original horn Terminal 87: output TO new horns Terminal 30: 12v constant with fuse 15A Please Let me know if this review helps. Good luck.

Raise the Walking and Driving Dead

I have had too many parking lot dings and close calls with people so distracted by their kids, phones, and general inattentiveness. The same characterizations go to people in crosswalks, jaywalkers, and insolent bicyclists insisting I share the road, but they do not observe vehicular laws. I swear, people do not love or cherish their lives, or at least that is what they tell me when they walk in front of me without looking up. My current horn has a friendly, almost Road Runner "meep meep" to it, and hardly presents a consequence with my sometimes necessary and judicious use of the horn. Something has to change, and it is the addition of these Hella Supertones. When testing the horn, it was loud. It was not an ear-splitting, pinpoint noise source I thought it would be. Instead, there is a full frontal assault from what sounded like a source the size of the car’s cross section. It seems more “pants soil inducing” versus “ear bleed inducing”…….which will work just fine for me. Photos of 2008 Saturn Astra H installation.

Loud and at a very good price. Made my little Subie sound like a freight train (not quite). Now those jack asses in the lifted F250's can hear me when they cut me off and nearly run me off the road. on a side note, you can unscrew yellow covers, sand them down with a fine grit sand paper and spray paint them whatever color you want.

Beep Beep!

These "Sharptone" horns really do a nice job of alerting the average hamfisted driver to your presence on the road. I opted for these Sharptones (yellow) over the more popular Supertone (red) because I wanted a slightly deeper tone. There's a few comparison videos around, just search "sharptone vs supertone". Installation is straightforward enough. Although, the nuts that hold the brackets onto the backs of the horns are EXCEPTIONALLY tight, as the other reviewer stated. However, if you are careful and mindful of what you're doing, no harm will come of loosening them. I used an impact wrench with good results. I can't really fault the product here because it seems like they aren't designed to be loosened or removed. The kit does NOT any wiring or accessories. You receive two (2) horns, and one (1) relay, nothing more. Something worth noting is that these pull a LOT more wattage than your average stock horn. You won't get the full effect unless you run heavier gauge wire directly to/from the battery and to the relay (the instructions show you how). I'd say 16ga wire minimum, but 14ga or better is more realistic. You'll also have better results if you run a ground from the battery to these horns versus grounding to the frame. Just remember, melted wires are a fire hazard; the stock wiring in your car ISN'T designed for these. As far as performance and appearance, it's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. They have an aggressive yet subtle look behind the grill of my STi. They are also EXCEPTIONALLY LOUD. My ears rang for a few minutes after being subjected to the full force of these horns. To simulate the average distance on the road, I stood 20 feet in front of the car and had a friend activate the horns - the sound is UNBEARABLE, believe me. Finally, it should be noted that these horns "project" their sound, similar to a PA speaker. If you're anywhere but in front of the car, the sound level is average.

Phenomenal!

I have both the Hella Supertone and Hella Sharptone together in a 12gauge wiring relay setup and they are phenomenal. If you have 4, make sure you use a relay, preferably a 30amp for some wiggle room. These are exactly what I was looking for for my Mazda, and these are the horns you want too. Buy them. Paint them. Replace the little bolts around the circumference to hold the grille on with stainless if you ever want them apart again. They were terrible to remove when I replaced them with stainless on my supertones/repainted them because I was putting these on. The size needed is 8-32 and about 5/8" long. If you're reading this, don't get air horns. Diaphragms are a pain and will eventually go out. These are as maintenance free as you can get.

Nothing pleasant about their sound… But that's the whole point.

Installed them today on my Prius (no relay needed, really). Tested them in a backyard (stray cats felt the urge to urinate) and went on my merry way. A few hours later, got stuck on a one lane one way street, because some idiot was trying to make his way in the opposite direction, on a sidewalk. Then he decided to make a left turn – honking his horn, demanding that I yield. Finally he got tired of punching his steering wheel and rolled down the window to have a lively conversation with me… then I honked. He jumped and hit his head, immediately forgetting what he wanted to say. HELLA vs road rager – 1:0. I'm still giggling a bit :) A few words about the actual sound. This is by no means a "big rig sound", you'll need a pneumatic horn for that. Nor is it a pleasant sound in any way, shape or form. It sounds like seven trumpets played simultaneously, so be careful – if you lay on the horn long enough, it may wake the dead. In short: obnoxiously loud screeching that is absolutely impossible to ignore, either willingly or unwillingly.

Move over...Finally a horn that alerts ALL.

Loud. Brilliant. Ask yourself if you have been behind someone who needed a little audio encouragement. Meet the SAM KINISON of horns. A perfect gift 4 the NY metro area commuter. Instead of giving them the bird...just press the horn and smile. ☺👍

Very, very loud

Holy cr*p are these loud. Replaced the OEM horn in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler, which on a good day sounded like someone was strangling a sick goat. Just about jumped out of my pants the first time I tested it -- which is EXACTLY the reaction I need when driving in the city.
