I hooked up a cheap horn that I picked up at NAPA the other day. It was a very easy instal, and works great. My reverse override button is now a horn button. PERTY KOOL!!. I was considering getting an air horn[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img], or a road runner (beep beep) horn, but they were more $$$$ and I wasnt even sure if this project would work, but it did[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

how loud is it?

 

Its a factory GM replacement horn, with a low tone. Its loud[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I would say around 120db.

 

Yea i bought one today too. Im gonna hook it up tommorrow. i tested it out on a battery and man it is loud. its a 130db. Hurts my ears but then again when i did it, the horn was close to my head.

 

Really I just wanted to get 800 posts, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img], but I put horns on three of our quads(the eton had one already). I think they should be standard equipment. How many times have you tried to yell at your buddies when riding. Just doesn't work , but the horn does. I used a handlebar mounted kill switch as the horn button and a generic atv horn. It was really important for the kids to be able to get our attention. Also if for some reason they get turned around on the trail and I don't notice right away, they know to stop and start honking til we find em.

 

So you should use a 12 volt car horn instead of a motocycle horn? Did you wire it right to the battery with a fuse and then ground it to the frame somewhere? What fuse should you use?

 

It is a 12v car horn. I wired it to the reverse override button (purple wire) and then grounded it to the frame

 

BBS, do you have your override button disabled from its original purpose?

 

Yes I do.

 

What fuse would a horn require?
