what's the best airhorns in the market.. back in the 80's i had these airhorns that sounded like ferrari horns but i dont remember the brand name they were loud as hell.. is FIAAM any good? where can i find them?.. how about hella do they have good ones?.. any other ones?

 

I have the tripple FIAMM. I heard that the fiamms are louder than hellas not shure its because the fiamm uses a larger compressor or not.

 

that's a nice set up you got there with the horns Nismo.. what web sight can i find something similar?
thanks. ED.

 

I got mine from pepboys so maybe check there out?

 

i went to the pepboys sight and all they offer is WOLO airmite horns.. never heard of them.. i'll have to stop by there tomorrow morning and check it out in person.

 

My Hella triple airhorns were pretty loud.

 

I have the FIAAM double horns. They are the Riveria series. I think these are the best ones for the money. If you are looking for the power to get the attention of the other driver these are for you. I picked mine up at Advance Auto.

 

I just picked up Fiamm Horns from Ebay and they are amazingly loud

 

How does one wire them in? I've been wanting to do this for a while, but never got around to it, because I haven't had the time ot figure out how to wire them up.

 

i can help u put it in if you are located in the nyc area.?

 

Close but no cigar. I'm in Toronto. I've heard that you can't simply tap off the stock wiring, instead, you'll need to tap off stock for signal to the relay and power the relay directly from the 12V. I'm sure I could figure it out if I took the time. I'd just like to have a pdf or something or a web site to get the exact directions.

 

whatsup guys.. after getting the tips on where to get the FIAMMs on this thread last night i went up to pepboys first thing this morning.. and picked myself up the last set of dual tone FIAMMs they had left for 25 bux.. i thought it was a good deal..
i wanted to set them up like NISMO has his in the front corner of the fender but my 99 has the windshield washer fill up tube in that area so it wasn't possible.. after much debate on installation placement i finally opted for bolting both trumpets on a metal strip with multiple holes side by side and located them right in front of the battery. the slack of the metal strip bent it on a 90 degree angle, and used the battery tie down rod to secure the metal slack.. positioning could not have been better.
the compressor i placed right behind the battery where my stock airbox used to be and now it is just empty space.. i used the old airbox bolts that went in the fender and secured the compresor down nice and snug. the tubing they gave with the kit was just enough.
the wiring was easy, i unplugged the stock horns right between the grill and the radiator. since they have 2 power wires, i taped up one, and the one closer to the horns i used. i ran a wire with a female flat connector to the stock horn lead and the other end i ran it along the body to the compressor behind the battery.. the ground wire i made a short wire that went directly to the NEG battery terminal and a male flat plug to the compressor..
now, my friend had his head in the engine bay and i told him to keep a close eye for sparks.... i honked the horn and he jumped half way across the driveway.. dayummm these things were loud.. after a couple of test toots.. the 10 amp fuse blew like a cheap hookah.. so i ran back to pepe the boys and got some 30 amp mini fuses.. all said and done.. it was 25 bux for the horn 5 buck for a wire loom, 1.75 for the male/female connectors, 3 bux for a box of fuses... my friend jumping across the drive way and a loudh a$$ horn.. .. well worth the money.

 

Get The Hella Supertone Horns.. This things are loud as ballz....

 

It should come with directions on how to wire them up. It's not too hard to figure out if you've done simple wiring before.

The hardest part was actually fitting the horns in, not the wiring.

 

didnt get a chance to read it all but you are blowing fuses because I dont think you used a relay in the wiring

 

i used the stock relay. it's ok now that i put a bigger fuse.. i only blew one fuse

 

I don't understand why people don't use the relay. If they provided a relay, then you should use it. I used the relay and never blew a fuse. Not even once. Didn't even have to change it.

Even Daniel B. Martin suggested using the relay when hooking up the airhorns.

 

my kit did not come with a relay.
