Are Supertones louder than air ?? Air is the only thing that alerts soccer-mons driving SUV's while talking on cell in CALIFORNIA. They saved me more than once.

Supertones, when properly installed, will cause the driver you are honking at to *jump* in their car.

They will only take as much power as your car can give, of course. So they are not as loud if you don't use the supplied relay. Plus, they look cool! (mine are obviously not in the stock location)

Those do look nice Zach. I may need to get my horn wprking so I can actually alert people I am there. So far I have been lucky to take evasive actions but it could be nice to give the dumbass a scare once in a while.

Will the Hella Supertones bolt up to the stock location without modifications?

I can't speak for a early pattern car. But, they bolt into the stock location for a 75-76 car. I just thought the location for a 75-76 car was asinine. I don't want my horn pointed at the road, I want it pointed at the bumper of the ass that is trying to cut me off!

Besides, they look cool, and it seems I might be a bit of a ricer.

They bolt up just fine in the stock location! We have them on both our 914s... and they are LOUD!

Clay - Did you use the stock wiring or did you need to do additional wiring?
