The Hella horns are nice. Sound good, easy to install.

I've got the Hella's on one Prizm and a Stebel on the other. The Stebel was a pain to mount. Both seem to be about the same volume. I'd do the Hella's on both if I did it again.

Just installed my Hella Supertones on my 99 Corolla over the weekend. I tested the factory OEM relay and fuse for voltage drop and total amps used by the new twin horns. You can utilize the factory relay and 10 amp fuse without a problem. I created a simple wiring harness to go from a single OEM horn to the twin horn setup.

I mounted one horn in the factory location and the other to the bolt on the hood latch.

Horns sound good compared to the weak denso unit. It seems that NOBODY would pay attention to you with the OEM horn. I can say this is not a problem anymore.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

i was just wondering if 1 hella horn would fine i dont want anything too loud just louder then the denso stock horn and would i need to change up the wiring if i just had one horn?

They are to different tones so I would recomend both. I personally think it would sound a little funny with just one of the tones, however, if it doesn't bother you then go for it.

thanks everyone i had another quick question how much do they cost and is there a auto parts store where i can buy them rather then online?

As mentioned by Bennie, they are dual tones, so you would need both to create the sound its intended to put out.

I have personally never seen them at the Auto Parts. I purchased mine from Amazon. Good luck with the setup. I'm sure you will appreciate it after you have switch over from the OEM weak horn.

if you guys want an air horn but dont want a complicated install then but the wolo bad boy. its an all in one so all you have to do is mount it in the stock horn mount. i use the badboy on my motorcycles. small and easy install

I have the Wolo Bad Boy on mine too. If I was doing it all over, I'd get the Steibel but the Wolo is still definitely louder than stock.
