I have hornblasters.com for the truck... looking at a louder replacement like these guys have.

Anything louder? Hmmm, would this do?

Doc Zaius · 02-04-2007, 10:08 PM

Thanks for the video (audio!), Violin. Sounds great!

Even the 500/600 sound lower than I thought they would. The 400/500 must sound quite low.

now this is a mod that sounds great to me, lol

uy

Just installed my PIAA 500+600 hrz and a FIAMM freeway horn Blaster (F) from Advance. YES that's three horns! Sounds much better than stock. Now people don't laugh when I hit my horn. They cover their ears...

How much electrical work is involved. I've got no problem screwing around with house wiring, but I've got a phobia about cutting into a car's (or motorcycle's). The motorcycle is easy, though, because in the end it is cheaper for Honda to pre-wire the thing for everything so everything I've added so far has been plug and play. No such luck with the Yaris, I'm guessing?

the piaa box says no wiring harness needed, probably a direct replacement, I hope so because I am planning to grab one

Thanks... so it looks like you drew power from the original wiring (split to both horns), then ran a ground to chassis behind the driver headlights. Glad that I don't need to put in a relay or pull power directly from the battery or anything (which would stop me dead in my tracks right there).

Have you encountered any problems with them since your install?

smokinyaris · 07-09-2007, 04:56 PM

nice sounding horn

Meteorite Man · 07-09-2007, 05:04 PM

It's your call but I'd peel those stickers off or hit it with some black paint. It looks like you have some trash/highway debris jammed in your grill.

Otherwise.....Nice mod.

I was thinking the same. If I do buy the PIAA and not the Hella the stickers are coming off or getting painted black.

Yep - fairly simple install. No problems at all. I chose them over the Hellas because they are more weatherproof.

Just installed the Hella Supertones on my Yaris. I love them. They look cool, and are extremely loud. I hit the horn in my garage and almost went deaf. My ears were ringing like crazy. Didn't use the relay, just used the factory wiring except had to install some grounds. Got them from www.safedrives.com.
