Angry air horn sucks-don't buy it!!!

I just installed the Wolo Bad boy air horn the other day, what a waste of time and money. It sounds like it belongs on a 1970 vw beetle. Please don't waste your cash on that horn! Does anyone know of a horn that will switch out easily and be obnoxiously loud???

does it have a compressor?....if so, are the lines bent?

got a loud one from pepboys, have to mount a tiny compressor, do a little bit of wiring, and mount the horns, cant remember the brand off the top of my head, but anything with a compressor would be obnoxiously loud....just make sure to pay attention to the frequency....i wanted something that would sound like a mac truck (low freq.)......ended up with just a loud (like a hand held high freq.) air horn....

you want loud? use a train horn.

or even better, a ship horn, but you need a huge azz compressor/tank.
