The guy has exaggerated the numbers:

115 dB @ 2m

139 dB @ 10cm

BTW........I have TWO of these fitted :winky:

And you can pick them up for around £25 delivered

Thank you Sir :)

Is it hard to install Mike?

Not very tech minded.

Not very tech minded.

Not too difficult, I've already posted up a wiring diagram for this. The trickiest part is removing the grille in order to fit the new horn in front of the radiator, which involves cutting a 6m piece from a 3mm aluminium bar and drilling a hole each end. I fitted the twin horns in around 2 hrs.

Noel · March 15, 2006

Mike,

did you buy one first and then think it's not enough, or was it you wanted to keep the twin idea of the originals ?

Any harder putting on two, can they use the same relay?... supply etc?

If im gonna do it at all i might as well do two....!

hope you don't mind .... toyota an all :D

I have the same horn fitted. From Mike.

It's no more difficult installing twins as it is a single, but you will need to use two relays. When fitting the relays be very sure to locate them somewhere where they wont get wet - I located mine inside the engine bay above the driver side wheel arch behind the headlight and then tidied the cabling inside snap-on cable shrouds.

2 hours me arse........ more like 4 for normal folk......... ..... actually took me nearer 5 hours, because one of my home made brackets fell down inside the bumper and slid into a "sump" like splashguard right under the rad..... that took alot of extra work to get it back....... :tsktsk:

It's a fine line getting those buggers to fit without them rubbing off either the rad or the blasted sports grill won't go back on........ wiring was the easy bit.... no fuses blown...... ( yet :winky:)

Although the lights do dim when you activate the HORNS.... it's gonna be fun

anyway thanks Mike for the link and the tips :winky:

All that is left is to buy the T-Shirt.......... ->HERE <-..... only kidding , wife would really kill me

Well i think 2 of the Nautilas Range are plenty and you will surely have alot more room to fit them on a LS400...... :)

Be advised though... these are LOUD and some people might not take too kindly to them...... so you need to have thick skin..... which i do

Only fitted them yesterday......

commets to date.... " G,OD ALMIGHTY! That's a disgrace!!!!" ( My Mother, mothers day an all, couldn't resist )

...." don't DARE press that while i'm in the car" ( My wife )...... WOOOW COOOOOL.... ( My Kids )...

oh and the neighbours dog has not even tried to p!ss on my wheels today.....

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INSTALLING THESE HORNS.......

now must go for a drive...... "OUT OF THE WAY FOOOL"

Now where is my next victim

right horns here and i attempted to fit it today :tsktsk: thing does anyone have a clue how the relay is supposed to work?

Connected the horn directly to the Battery and it nearly deafened me, so that discounts a dodgy horn i've connected the relay as per diagram and all i get is a slow motoring of the horn no sound.

Anyone else suffered the problems i am having as at the minute i am considering getting hold of another relay

Noel · April 5, 2006

Nope mine worked first go.... had alot of trouble getting the Horn to fit though.... big horn small space...

Check your connections.......

On relay....

Fused power wire from Battery = 30 ( 12v in)

Power wire out to horn = 87 ( 12v out)

relay ground = 85 ( i earthed it to the chassis but you could try running a wire from the Battery negative)

Activation wire from old horn = 86 ( trigger relay)

:winky:

right tried all that still no sound from the horn again horn works directly from Battery and when connected to the relay and the horn pressed the relay ticks but no sound. I reckon the relay is duff as in moving but not making the connection.

Bugger......

You should be able to get a new one from any motor shop ;)

good luck

Noel · April 11, 2006

Good to HEAR it worked at last.........

I know It's sad but i tend to look for things to hoot at now....ie..Stupid dog at the side of the road.... better give him a hoot ( ear ringing) to keep him off the road.....

cut up on the roundabout......THEY definitly know my reaction now....hehe...simple pleasures in life.....:P
