Thinking about replacing my stock horns with something like these (Hella T24):
https://www.amazon.de/HELLA-Frequenzbereich...urce=1&th=1 Various sites seem to indicate they will (physically) fit… They pull 72W each! So 12A total. The horn fuse is 16A, but it also runs the two 55W accessory driving lights in the bumper, which in my Euro spec car go on with the high beams. So imagine driving with the high beams on and having to honk… Only momentary, but that’s like a 21-22A draw thru that fuse. I guess in order to avoid this possibility, I am going to need an additional fuse and relay… Hmmm. |

@chmillman
Do the Hella horns that you installed have the "Euro" trumpet sound like the early 911 trumpets and many Italian cars? |

I don't know what early 911 horns sounded like but for me classic Italian horns were "Fiamm" horns - actual straight trumpet air horns, quite a bit higher pitched. No real space for those in the 914 stock location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk2Jl5VJ87k QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Dec 10 2025, 10:29 PM) I wanted the loudest horns that would fit the stock location on my '75 chassis. The flat Hellas with the red fronts seen in the ad above proved to be only average. Actually no more threatning than original 914 horns I agree they are not louder than the originals. All I wanted was a nicer sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAe9qvC49qY |
