Stupid Clown Horn

schmjdt · Aug 24, 2011

like everyone else I don't think I could be more disappointed in the horn on my '11 Patriot. Finally going to get around to replacing it. Hopefully will have something along the lines of this as a backup.

I live in a small town in Iowa so I can use the factory horn as the; "hello, How are You?"

But I think it's time for some get out of the way.

Plus I think they'll look cool mounted behind the grill.

Anyone got any experience doing anything along these lines, or am i better off just replacing the stock horn with this 12v one.

those look like the pancake horn I put on my bike. Louder then the bike's horn, but the tone is something more like you'd hear on an Italian car then a Jeep. Get these instead

the red and blue ones seem like a quick way to get pulled over.

I found a repacement pair (packaged as a set) of horns at my local auto-zone, they are the same physical size as the original, and fits well in the same space. Has a nice higher-pitched tow-tone which I think is acceptable. The horns are each rated at 130 db--not sure how that corresponds with the stock horn--but should be louder as there are two of them.

There's a previous thread on how to locate and get to the horn someplace on this forum.

I'd think that train horn might be quicker

It won't scare anyone, but at least you don't feel like a chump.

Not the metal outer fender. Just the plastic inner wheel well.

don't do that. small air compressor and tank in the back, drill a hole through the roof (hey it already leaks) for your air line to two horns on either side of your roof rack. Loud ass manly horns, plus you now have on board air so no worries when you air down for the trails.
