This is a great horn, hands down. Makes a sound like a Mack truck, and is compact, and easy to install. Just read the instructions. All of the negative feedback thus far is from people who either have no understanding whatsoever of 12v automotive electrical systems, or did not read the simple installation instructions. It took me 20 minutes to install this horn, and I even had to run a new wire back to the place that I decided to mount the horn from the old horn's location. This horn will pay for itself a thousand times over the first time it keeps that Chevy Suburban from running you off the road at night.
It's also good for scaring animals and small children, if you happen to be into that kind of thing.

this horn is sweet! The Mazda in which I installed it came with a stock horn that couldnt frighten a squirrell. Besides the small space I had to work with, installation was a piece of cake. One suggestion, make sure you have a 20-amp circuit. The first time I layed on the horn for a driver who pulled out in front of me I fried my 15 amp fuse.

I have had this horn on my Triumph Bonneville America for about a year. It is extremely loud and attracts alot of attention. It was easy to install and has proved to be very reliable.

I intsalled this on my 91 miata, I had to drill a new hole and add a ground wire, took about 30 min. to install, and now my car horn sounds like a Ferrari horn (now I just need the engine).

Installed this in a new Chevy Van. The van only came with a single, 2 wire horn which made replacement simple. I went the route of splicing new female wire connectors into the factory wiring and preserving the factory horn connector. For those not up for this challenge, simply cut the factory connector off and crimp on weather resistant female wire connectors. I had high expectations for a loud truck-like sound. No question that it is loud...far louder than the wimpy stock horn. It is not the deep, booming blast you get with multi trumpet air horns. Overall, I am quite pleased with this horn: compact unit, simple install, attention getting volumne/sound. As a bonus, it includes a horn relay (not needed for my application) which is not listed in any online listing I viewed.

This was simple and easy to install, you just have to read the instructions :) I installed this in a 2000 Xterra, and it had a one-wire OEM, so I had to run a (-) to the WOLO 419 horn as well. The sound difference was amazing. I don't think anyone will have a problem hearing me now. **The stock horn has a 7.5amp fuse and this horn will draw between 10 and 15 amps, so I made sure my existing wiring could handle the increased amperage and bumped that fuse up to a 15amp**

Installed this on my 2006 Civic EX Sedan to replace the pathetic (meep...meep!) sounding factory horn. The factory horn made me shrink in embarassment everytime I used it. Well, no more - this Bad Boy made the receiving end to shrink now...lol..

Installed on a 2008 Miata. Tone like a European sedan - not as many db's as a set of air trumpets, but much simpler and sufficient enough to get asttention. Installation can be effected on the same horn hanging bracket using the OEM power connector. It does require quite a bit of creative manual dexterity, the construction of a grounding wire, and the shortening of the mounting bolt supplied with the kit. All-in-all, a good proposition for the mechanically adept.

This horn is great. I installed it in less than 5 minutes and the only portions of the install that slowed me down was figuring out what to do with the end of the old wiring and mounting the horn because the transmission cooler is right below the mounting bracket on my truck. The horn is really loud and no one expects it to come from my ford ranger. First time I used it was to wake a guy up at a green light that was texting on his cell phone. He dropped the cell phone and almost wet himself. Great horn for both getting stupid drivers' attention and just to play around with. I put pictures up of the horn mounted on my truck if you want to see it.

This horn definitely is louder than the stock horn on my motorcycle (Suzuki VZ800 Marauder). It comes with a relay for wiring up using original horn button, which was nice, and not advertised. It fit in the same location as the stock horn. Installation was straightforward, follow the included wiring schematic. I hope it lasts...
