STR Horn sounds like a barina...

mojo · Sep 12, 2009

Hey guys, I don't really use the horn much, but when I do, it does not sound right. This huge 4wd beast decides to make a statement, and what do you hear ? Something that would make a barina look good. Seriously, I don't think I'll ever use my horn again....
(What is the law and horns? Is there a certain decibel ?)

hahaha i know exactly what ya mean. Sounds like a ice cream truck trying to get past. Might need to invest in a air horn or something

Jason · Sep 12, 2009

Couldn't agree more. I'm going to replace mine, need to know a good one with a deep tone.

I know some can be adjusted, might look at the Nav's......

Beep beep Barina!

The only law I can remember about horns is they have to emit one constant pitch (no musical horns).

On a positive note, hornblasters.com now ship to Australia.

i replaced mine with 1 x 112db high tone disc horn and 1 x 112db low tone disc horn both are waterproof and a simple install. I didn't go airhorn type etc as i wanted it to all be watertight. louder yeah but not police attracting loud.

Where did you get them from mate?

Al · Sep 12, 2009

repco i'll take a pic of the setup if you like

Jason · Sep 12, 2009

That'd be great, thanks.

Al · Sep 12, 2009

With most of my cars I have had I replaced the original horns with electric ones from old holdens or fords from the 60's and 70's era. Any will do, they are in the shape of a trumpet and belt out a nice deep sound, hook up 2 of them and your laughing. Only a couple of bucks each from any wrecker.

hey Mojo..........dont muck around,just go get one of these mothers and get some attention YouTube - DORAN CUNNINGHAM 6B echo and run-by.

mojo · Sep 13, 2009

Hehhehehehe, I'll take some advice from the other posts, I might visit a wrecker, and get an old holden/ford horn. I really don't need to scare shit out of anyone, I just want to be heard - and not sound like a barina

My wifes astra has an awesome horn. Any 12v horn should work.

HAHAHA!! That reminds me of a mate that i went to TAFE with ages ago, had a frieght train horn in his Combi Van. It used to damn near shake the friggin thing apart! He used to pull up at the lights in town, and when the pedestrians were crossing in front of him he'd give it a blast..... Friggin helarious.... I think he nearly killed some old lady on a walking frame once!!

joshy · Sep 17, 2009

haha i got my horn off a mate at tafe. Its the country horn which is louder then the city one. Might get another and mount em with the spotties on the tray. 1 is pretty f**kn loud tho

i fitted a set of triple trumpet train air horns to an old mack the other day, don't be standing too close to em, seriously fucking loud! admitantly the old mack would be sending a heap more air through em though.

maddogrc · Sep 17, 2009

picked up a double air horn kit (hi and low) for 20 bucks.

just need to wire it up!

felixblack · Sep 18, 2009

i have the Stebel Nautilus Compact horn on my motorbike. 139db of bloody awesomeness!!! not sure if i'll put one on the Navara as i don't think it'd cope too well with water crossings
