    Which aftermarket Horn for Upgrade?

    I want to change the factory fitted horn, in which I've visited my parents rural property a few times; and the Roos and cattle laugh at me when I tell them I'm coming.
    The commodore horn is a perfect offset tone, which I wouldn't mind using. Am I going to have issues with power supply; fuses; mounting location, if I change to a different set up?

    Thanks.

    Pharaoh,

    Google Stebel Nautilus. The roos and cattle will have bleeding ears once you fit one of these suckers.

    It should fit where the standard "beetle-fart" fits.

      Fitting of after market horns has been covered before, has all the info you'll need to know.

      Try the trolling through the accessories and electrical.

          Beer and horns don't go well. It needs a good blow.

                  On my Suzuki Sierra I used to have BMW electric horns - they sounded good and were loud. I think they were off a 90's BMW, not sure of exact model as I picked them up from a wrecker.

                            After reading this thread I got the Stebel nautilus compact truck horn, along with a wiring kit. Very easy to install with the wiring kit. I am a bit disappointed with the pitch and volume of it. It's not as low in pitch as I thought it would be, and not as loud. Still a big upgrade to the standard horns though. I replaced the 'high' pitched standard horn, and left the 'low' pitched standard horn in.

                              I bought a set of these Bosch horns for $30 of ebay, much better sound but I had to relocate them to fit the transmission cooler.
