I just ordered a WOLO Bad Boy air horn off Amazon.com for 36 bucks to my door. Anyone had one of these? Are they worth a hoot? | ||

what... no dixie horn? lol Youtube has a few vids of the wolo in action. Sounds good to me. | ||

By coincidence I found mine yesterday in a box while digging out Christmas stuff, thought I'd lost it in the move last year. Mine's Italian and looks just like a compact Stebel, and it's louder than hell without the delay you can get from horns with on-demand compressors with hoses. I bought it for the Uly but I've got too much stuff under the screen and there's not really anywhere else to mount it unless I remove my CA canister and stick it there. I'll probably swap it into my wife's car for the Fiamms, she's a horn blower and will appreciate the extra noise. | ||

X, how much stuff do you have in there? I have Stebel, horn relay, 2 HID ballasts, 2 HID x-formers, horn relay, garage door opener, and an LED voltage module. You have to get a little creative.  | ||

^^^ NICE!  I don't have near that much but I like to keep everything a little more open so I can get to the wiring easier. Issues, you know... Maybe I'll rethink it, my wife doesn't really need louder horns anyway. | ||

You're right wiring is anything but open! I did the ground mod, it had the newer wireguide/protector already & all the dash lights are all LED now so there should be little need to get in there. The 4 screws on the horn bracket & 2 on the ballasts remove them fast & exposes most the wiring. I was going to fab a few of those horn brackets but unsure if there would be any interest.  | ||

I'm going to try the impossible under my flyscreen. Stebel Nautalis with relay, 1x regular HID ballast, and 2x Compact HID ballasts. Should go in next week. Wish me luck! | ||

I for one might be interested in that fabbed bracket. Any sense of the cost? | ||
| Ronmold |
3 ballasts, this should be good! Reminds me of this:  Bracket would run $40 with screws. Building them 1 at a time is labor intensive but if I could move 10-20 units I would build a jig and cut the cost to 25-30. You need to cut the stock horn flange off and drill & tap some 4mm holes, not too hard though. I wired to the acc. socket hot wire and replaced the fuse with a 25A one. | ||

3 ballasts, this should be good! Reminds me of this: I had it all apart running wiring today, and really don't think it'll be that difficult. the amount of space above the headlights but behind/below the metal crossbar is tremendous! (the space with the blue/red wiring in the first picture in this thread). I can easily relocate the signal flasher and horn relay down there. | ||
