Hella SuperTone Horn Kit, 118 db

I have two of these sets (yes, two!) installed behind the grill of my Scion xB and they're great! I agree with other reviewers that you have to be careful because debris can damage them but this all depends on how you mount them. behind my grill, they're still loud - not as loud as i would like them, but still okay. when i take the grill off (sometimes i drive like this), they're ridiculously loud.

in terms of sound, they're like those BEEP BEEP horns in movies but the reason why these are so great is because of the volume of the beep beep. they're sooo loud! one set is 118 decibels, and i installed two of them!!! =X if you are standing about 30-40 feet away and someone honks the horn, you get a ringing sensation in your ears. =P

i would give them a 4.5 review only because, as one reviewer mentioned, the brackets are hard to bend although i didn't need to bend them for my installation.

As for the install - the horns come with the relay so i suggest using it. If you fry / mess up anything during installation, at least it'll be the small $5 relay that comes with the horns as opposed to the more expensive car relay that you'll probably have to pick up/replace at the dealer. you may even fry more than just the horn relay so i would be really cautious about doing the install this way. i have two sets installed and installed two SEPERATE relays. yeah, some may call it overkill but at least it's a safe installation.

all in all - a good replacement for stock horns without going crazy and spending $1,000+ on the more expensive "loud" airhorn setups. i prefered these horns over the air horns because the airhorn setup is a lot more involved in terms of parts / pieces to mount (horns + compressor), etc. this is a good solution for the mechanically inclined like me.

Buyer beware!!!! regardless of the fact that the picture clearly shows the Hella horns with the Made in Germany label in the front, that is not what is sent!!

I just received mine today and they are the crappy India ones, not the 118dB ones made in Germany.

I would not buy from this company ever again

Awesome horns. I've had these for almost a year now and they have not failed me. It's very loud and it's a very much needed safety mod for my car because I drive on highways very often. Highly recommend these. I have no problems with debris.

I have these horns and love them. Install was easy, but time consuming. I suggest mounting them behind the grill like the other reviewer. I've had them installed for a few months. I haven't noticed them getting dirty, and I enjoy driving on dirt.

The hella relay is strongly recommended. Without the relay, the horns do not get enough power and will not get to 118db. Also, if the horns are not grounded correctly (use the battery ground), they will not get to 118db.

Not too hard to install, but didn't sound much louder than my oem Nissan horns and after two weeks one of the horns stopped working.
Took them off and put back my original horns. Sixty dollars wasted.
Can't say I'd recommend them to anyone.
