Perfect horn for my application! Great low tone., February 2, 2011
This review is from: Wolo Model 320-2T Maxi Sound Universal Red Low and High Tone Replacement Horns - 12 Volt (Automotive)
Length:: 0:49 Mins
I'm really happy with this purchase. The stock horn in my 1990 Suzuki Samurai sounded weak and wimpy. I wanted a horn with a nice deep tone that wasn't so loud that it created accidents or fist fights. Most horns that I heard on the Wolo website were far too high pitched but the sound of the 320-2T is exactly what I wanted. However, these horns are not small so you may need to create room to make them fit. Luckily, I had plenty of room next to the radiator and there was an unused bolt on the chassis so I didn't have to drill any holes. I stacked them on top of each other, mounted on the same bolt, and both horns pointed directly through the grille. I couldn't imagine fitting these things in my old '88 Accord. I also had a positive and a negative wire running to my old horn so to install the 320-2T, I had to create two Y connections with spare wire that I had. Even if you have one wire to your horn, it will take a little bit of 'know how' and elbow grease to install these horns. Directions for both styles of wiring are included. The whole install took me about 45 minutes and I thought I had it easy. But now that the horns are in, I'm very happy with the results. It's not overpowering but it's a nice, healthy, baritone blast. For my application, it's exactly what I was looking for.
PROS: Great deep harmonized sound. Inexpensive.
Potential CONS: Require a lot of room to install. Installing two horns is trickier than one.

good solid sound, March 21, 2008
This review is from: Wolo Model 320-2T Maxi Sound Universal Red Low and High Tone Replacement Horns - 12 Volt (Automotive)
I put these in my Mazda 3, and now the car has a horn that I'm not too embarassed to use. These horns sound great, reminding me of the classic horn sound that you'd get from a 60's/70's car. They would have been easy to install if not for Mazda deciding to bury the factory (single) horn in a ridiculous location... actually had to remove a wheel to get at it! And of course, if you are replacing one horn with two, that means a little wiring is needed, but it's not too bad. Just mentioning this in case you think that swapping a horn is always a complete no-brainer... sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Toyota Tundra fix, December 13, 2008
This review is from: Wolo Model 320-2T Maxi Sound Universal Red Low and High Tone Replacement Horns - 12 Volt (Automotive)
The Japanese have no idea on what a good horn is. At least the rest of the vehicle is excellent. The truck no longer sounds like Herbie the love bug, how embarrassing is that for a full size truck. It now sounds like a good classic horn should, slightly annoying and probably 30-50% louder than the Japanese stock junk. Seriously the single horns on my motorcycles were louder and better than stock horns on this truck.
Install took 10-15 minutes and requires a 10mm and 12mm socket. Use both pieces of metal flange so it is stiff enough to prevent the horn from moving (same as stock). Comes with all hardware you will need if you have a standard twin horn stock installation. They are almost twice as deep as the OEM horns. On the truck there was room but it might be an issue on a smaller vehicle. The horns have a standard tab style electrical connectors so they should hook directly to stock wiring connectors. Toyota's connector is a bit wide so I just bent all the tabs 90 degrees and it connects fine. The silver screens shown on the picture are junk practically fall off so I just took them off before they rust out anyway. The connectors are brass and overall the rest of the horn looks like decent quality and worth the price.
