Cadillac 4 note horns on the way...

I ordered a set of late 70's four tone Cadillac horns from ebay, should be here in about a week.

Nice! That's a great sound. It is truly amazing how much more people pay attention when your horn sounds like it belongs on a big car. My Steibel horns have saved my hide a few times.

I kknow about that. I had a Klaxon out of a 28 Essex, running on 12v, it made a hell of a row. Moved some good-sized vehicles with it. I live out in the country now, haven't needed the horn for years...

Ok, well it's all wired up. It's super loud and sounds much better than the high-pitched hella or sickspeed horns. Of course you can see how big the individual horns are and how much space they take up so there is that trade off.


All in all I think it's the most bang for the buck you'll ever get in horns that are readily available fairly inexpensive, and easy to install.

Do they sound just like the video of the caddy?

The Hella Supertones that I just ordered and will be putting in next weekend, now seem weak and uninspiring...

Love that Doppler effect though on those videos!

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

If I had a set of those, all I'd do is film myself driving by a camera. All. Day. Long.

Yes.


I tried recording the sound and it doesn't come close to capturing it..sounds weak and unimpressive. In person, my friend, whom I had just looked in the eye and said "I'm going to honk the horn, but I'm warning you it's loud" fumbled what he was holding when it sounded and got upset that I didn't warn him enough. LoL

Haha, no...but it could. I have a complete three airhorn system sitting on a shelf in my garage. It's a pain with all the electrical and go fast stuff I have so I wanted the next best thing. :)
