[DML] Re: Upgrading the DeLorean Horns? spontaneous defecation

["captain_hydrogen" <captainhydrogen@xxxxxxx>]

An interesting coincedence.  I installed a set of air horns on my 
DeLorean about a month ago.  Fiamm horns on sale at Harbor Freight 
$13.99.  High note on passenger side and low note on driver side with 
the compressor connected to the top flange of the crumple tube just 
aft of the steering rack.

They sounded good, but not great.  I liked their shrill Ferrari-like 
tone, but they were just not loud enough.  I wanted something that 
would let all of the SUV drivers trying to merge into my lane know 
that I was there.  Something that would inspire spontaneous 
defecation in offending drivers, passers by, and small woodland 
creatures.  So this last weekend I bought another set of the same 
horns and using a bench vice, a hand drill and few parts from Home 
Depot I made twin brackets for mounting twin sets of air horns (I 
will post pictures in a few minutes, please ignore the 
obvious "issues" beneath my front-end, VIN 10365 is a work in 
progress).

Observation:  The horns are loud and irritating, just what I wanted.

Conclusion:  Use a relay and dedicated power leads!!!

Note:  The Fiamm horns that I bought come with relays in the 
packaging.
