Any suggestions for a really loud or unusual horn? - Sprinter-Forum

psalm66 · 06-03-2010, 02:15 PM

I just saw a comment by spagthorpe wondering about having a really loud horn installed on a Sprinter. I used to have a pickup with a "moo horn" installed with a mechanical activator. The sound varied from a gentle "Moo" to an "enraged bull" depending on how you operated it. Anyone in the forum with any ideas that they have already implemented?

No, not implemented but search Hornblasters - worth it just for the video clips.

Found a small air horn from J C Whitney. Mounts with one bolt and hooks right up to the original horn wires. Sounds great.

Mean in Green: bad bad bad - but funny! I was thinking more in terms of an artistic statement -- not killing people. Good input so far!

My insurance company will disqualify me if I install any products from HarbourFreight... something about fire hazards...

Isn't there a post in here about a guy who installed and used a train horn... and used it avoid or alert an accident?

Here's a great horn for a Diesel Sprinter train crossing though an intersection under load.
