I think I need to clean the lense on DSLR.

[Not All There]

looks good, they def are fun!

[kreitz3]

My friend has these on his car. They sound different, but they are definitely loud.

[Blix666]

that looks rather awesome. i NEED a set'o'these....NOW!

[Drew84]

Got em on Ebay, $65 shipped. expensive but cool

[dppaladino]

Yeah Supertones are pretty awesome! Unfortunately my low pitched horn died after some rather large puddles. I have them mounted in the engine bay, but I think that the relay just got wet.

[lminette]

Ahhh! I need to get some of these so bad! I'm sick of the wimpy RS horn.

[TSiSS350]

They are LOUD!! But they look like ass! Paint them black andrew.

[409industries]

Nice man. Yeah ive been meaning to get a set... i'm not one for the look at me factor of the red (plus i have a blue car) so ill probably paint mine black.

[Drew84]

Don't look at them and I won't beep them at you.

[Blix666]

i don't think they look like ass. if they're visible in my car when i get them, i'll paint'em. i think they look cool cuz' they match the red sti sh!t on drew's car.

[Team Illuminata]

I love these things and we have sold a bunch too. I have been meaning to put some on my wifes Protege 5 as it sounds really pathetic right now and need to put some on my race car too for when we are blasting through the paddock way too fast. Just haven't had the time and can't keep them in stock long enough.

Oh, $60 to DI members thru November.

[Blix666]

some day i'll get around to snaggin' a set'o'these

[UndercoverObbie]

Ah man, I'd be tempted to get a set... but then I'd lose the muppet-like 'MEEP!' I know and love.

[sebhockey]

meep meep, like road runner?

[Blix666]

the beeker-meep!

[BorkedWRX]

Soon I shall have a set of these on my VW beetle, the one that's on it right now barely works, and when it does it really sounds like ^Beaker-meeeeeep meeeeep!

Plus they'll look awesome behind the little horn grills!

[409industries]

yeah they do look much better than the ghey stockers.

[Blix666]

yeah they do look much better than the ghey stockers.

did you mean sound much better....?

[subiebui]

i have a set i may be getting rid of.. shoot me some pms with offers :) :)

[Drew84]

well they sound like the stock horns, only louder

[bisonjr]

Much louder :tongue:. Just make sure you don't wire the horn switch to a constant on 12v, making you crap yourself in suprise, when you turn the key on. Heres my install....

:lol2:

[RS-ti_Andy]

nice on the bike! i actually had these on my s10 for a while..i found them in the garbage in milwaukee and installed them but then thru them away because i got air horns lol im such an idiot!

[wolfman79]

:lol2: I could so see myself doing the exact same thing.

[MConte05]

These things are amazing. It made a group of turkeys in a road jump about 30ft straight up. As well as causing an old woman who was starting to merge into me quickly swerve right and jump across two lanes in fright.

^^^^ exactly why they are on my bike.

[Drew84]

Yeah you need them on a bike. I get a lot of people who ask what they are? Are they fans ? Are they lights? then I make them stand in front of the car hehehe and proceed to deafen them.

[RS-ti_Andy]

^^^^ hahah..do u do that to strangers? lol that could cause damage to there hearing lol

[IneedRS]

Haha thats awesome. I love those things, makes it looks like you got a laser cannon attached to your subie or something lololol

[Drew84]

I also display their power to anybody who cuts me off.

[02redwagone]

I personally hate how they look. Italian Mini airhorns invisible mounted FTW. Just so the other choice is brushed upon. ;)

[MConte05]

You are the first person I know of who doesn't like how they look, haha.

[donutking]

y not go to hornblasters and get train horn?

[Blix666]

You are the first person I know of who doesn't like how they look, haha.

a bud of mine absolutely despises them...i just don't get it

[dppaladino]

I mounted mine onto the metal ABS box. Stealth horns are badass. And plus the hella horns behind the grill thing is kinda played out.

[T-Heineken]

I'm thinking about some...to prep for install...is there any wiring required on an '04. Some have said yes, and some have said no, but for different years. How much and what type of wire should I get?

And lastly...is it pretty easy to mount them in a covert spot, or would that just require more length of wire?

having them mounted on the front grill is the most logical place for'em! another option (if you really want stealth) is to just paint'em black and mount'em on the grill where they'll be heard the best.

I only had to extend one wire for my set up. I simply attached the single factory horn wire to the positive terminal of the horns, then ran a ground from the horns and thats it. You don't need to wire in the relay. The car has a factory horn relay. Its for applications that didn't have a horn before or a relay.

I agree...but in South Bay, where i-club is at it's strongest, I don't want to be confused with one of them, even with my cleared headlights...

As for paint, just remove the red bracket and throw down some spray paint on 'em?

[98obster]

just won my hellas on ebay (damn ;-)). at least I'll have power in my horn cause my 2.2 don't do shhhh...well nothing wrong with the right lane :bs:

[T-Heineken]

w00t! Installed successfully! Had to extend the driver side horn hookup about 3 inches or so....but really easy altogether.

However, on my '04 wagon, I have a little thing that says "buzzer" that was mounted on the passenger side of the horn mounting area, what is that? It doesn't seem to have a function in the locking noise or the alarm....

[98obster]

I can't wait to install mine. ha, buzzer :D reminds me of:

[IMPREZV1]

i helped a guy rig up a train horn to his truck one day. he mounted it under his running boards and just used a air tank to run it haha it was very very loud enought that im sure he would scare someone right off the road haha.

[ahowell]

Hellas are the jam!
They will drown out any annoying honda exhaust, even if they are revving at 12,000
and still going 30mph

fedEx dropped off my horns today-Woot:headbang: but I only managed to pull off the grill before the sun went down :-(.

Anyhoo, the factory horn has 2 wires (the bigger one, + i presume and the smaller one, grnd). So??, all I need to do is extend the (+) wire to the horns (via a "y" connection) and do the same to the return ground to the original ground connector?

Question, which post on the horn is the (+)? whatever wire I attach to it? they aren't marked so I guess that is it.

Also, is it better to ground to another location besides the ground for the factory horn?

[MetalNeverDies]

i need to pick some of these up... 199 decemels of rally horn goodness. this supidlady cut me off yesterday almost made my hit a median because she just swereved over to my lame i laid on the horn the lady didnt even flench my horn is so quiet she probably didnt even hear it. lets see people ignore me after i get the hella's in

[98obster]

they sound as good as they look :headbang:

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg240/jhonyd/IMG_0754.jpg?t=1202080505

getting them to fit behind the GF grill was kind of a pain-but hurts so good.

[anaonbd]

man, i'm probably going to have to order some of these as well, my horn is umm, pathetic! hondas sound meaner than i do.

[anaonbd]

yay, more colorado people!!

[T-Heineken]

My hellas have been sounding a little wimpy...so I finally took some time and wired in the relay that came with it....WOW. Huge difference....now I know the true power of the SUPERTONES!

[409industries]

They need all the powa they can get!

[bhiku]

I thought that the Supertones were directional horns and that is why they are mounted right behind the grill facing forward. But maybe I am wrong.

[dppaladino]

They're very loud with the hood closed from the front of the car. I dont have my passenger side vent cover attached, and you can see the horns through it. Other drivers can hear me on the interstate, so thats all that matters.

[Drew84]

I was happy to find out when I hit the panic button on my remote the alarm uses the Supertones and the Factory Alarm horn, very very loud. Not your average ignore it car alarm.

I work in an outlet center and some coworkers wanted to here them after I installed them. I set the alarm off from inside the store and even with the door closed they still covered their ears. Once I shut them off 3 or 4 other car alarms were going off:headbang:

[pookdizzlehtk]

I gotta get me some of these!!

[96imprezal]

haha i hooked up my hella supertones to my alarm too :D

[bjk]

if only I wasn't scared of the wiring thing...

[Drew84]

Holy crap this is an old thread I made.

[Team Illuminata]

Old or not I still have a few in stock at the great price of $62 each.

[96imprezal]

the wiring isnt bad at all!! you dont have to splice into any existing wire...just adding wire...not hard at all....

[rollo]

Yeah, wiring is nothing to be afraid of.

[Savenfiddy]

Just ordered mine tonight!!! i can't wait :lol2:

[T-Heineken]

Is it possible to purchase just the relay anywhere?! Or does anyone have one lying around?

Or...anyone know how I could go about wiring one (but probably WAYYY over my head)?

[Team Illuminata]

It's just a regular relay. You can get one at any parts store or radioshack.

A few instructions here: http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4GGLJ_en&q=supertone+wiring+diagram&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=eAWgScG_MZ6Dtwfshcn6DA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title

[T-Heineken]

I am glad it was that easy. $10 at Kragen. I didn't realize the 85/86/87/30 relay setup was the standard. Hooray!

My horns work again....and I definitely used 'em on some idiot yesterday.

HELLA GOOD.
