Suggestions on the Loudest Horn Possible?

[SteveandBelinda]

I put a Wolo Bad Max on last year and loved the loudness and sound, and a couple of weeks ago it took a crap. Any other suggestions on a really loud, but great sound (like dual pitch), and doesn't sound like a loud golf cart horn. Also no altering wiring, or extra relays etc, just straight out of the box and install?

Why not replace it with same product? Some (like mine) last forever.

Maybe just a loose wire?

I have the same horn and so far it's the only option I've considered. No issues with mine for the past couple years.

On a side note, I've never used my horn as much as this May and June with a few close calls. Perhaps a year of pandemic and not driving many places, drivers just aren't looking out for motorcycles and smaller vehicles. I'm pretty sure that horn has saved my life a couple times.

I have seen ads on FB for a 150db snail type horn. That should get attention.
I went a different route. I installed a pair of loud car horns on the "firewall" above the battery. They grab attention too.

drivers now have not idea where they are and what their doing and only want to get there asap, so get out of my way attitude.

I put duel trumpets in a couple of weeks ago because I was fed up with the mep mep horn. I scared the hell out of a guy yesterday as he started to change lanes without looking.

Will this be loud enough for you?

Go to a wrecking yard and get the duel horns off a Cadillac

I prefer a Marco Tornado found on Amazon - same footprint and wiring as the Wolo Bad Boy but louder.

Don't believe all the specs you see in an advertisement without using critical thought. 300dB - not possible. Why? Because a Saturn V rockets measured 220 db, while the space shuttle comes up at 215, on launch. Is that horn louder than a rocket? Highly doubtful.

We have dual Bad Boy horns mounted on the frames of our F3 models. My buddy, Kevin, suggested using the standard frequency (500 - 600 Hz) along with the 300 Hz model to get the train horn effect. Both are wired into a 40 amp relay, directly to the battery. Is it the loudest? I don't have data to support that statement. Does it get attention? Dang certain it does!

Any pics of the installation? thx

That's what I did. Lol

Are these the two horns you're referring to Wayne? They don't provide frequencies of each, but the 619 has the deeper sound and may be the 300hz one you mention.

I had a Denali Soundbomb on my GS. I kept the stock horn and got a very loud and attention getting sound. It was wired so my driving lights (5000 lumens each) strobed when the horn went off. Good sound and good lighting is very important!

Yes. Go to https://wolo-mfg.com/horns/motorcycle-horns.html. The 419 is 530/680 hz and the 619 is the low tone at 320 hz.

Plus I left the OEM horn in its original circuit.
