Frontier Horn Upgrade

I am not satisfied with the tone or loudness of the stock single horn on my '04 Frontier. In fact, I would call it rather wimpy. Any recommendations on either adding a second (low note?) horn, or replacing the stock with a louder one? Do I need to worry about current draw of a second, or louder horn and have to add a relay? Thanks...

I swapped horns with my old Blazer - the blazer has one on each side. Sounds much more authoratative

That's probably because is IS a Sentra's horn! I don't know why Japanese companies insist on installing lame horns, but I think any domestic horn plugs in with little-to-no modification...just a simple swap out.

The altima has a nice, loud horn! I too was wondering if it would be possibly to replace the horn in my 03 pathy with one with some balls.

well you guys are going to think I'm a dumbass but you know those car alarms that have about 7 different sounds when they go off. Well yeah I got 2 hooked up. When my alarm goes off (used to beep the horn) now it sounds like a bird chirping.

CHURRRRPP CHURRRRP CHURRRRP.

But if you have the chance to hold it down long enough you get all the sounds and it is bad ass

Where might it be? the first one is easy, it is bolted near the radiator.

I put in a nice one from an 81 implala. Sounds Great. I had to swap it out cause honking while the Flames were in the playoffs was too embarassing!

Beep Beep!
