What horns out there work and are loud? I'm not interested in the musings of the chicken-sticker set about sounding like this or that classic car.
Auto parts chains carry FIAMM "Freeway Blaster" horns that a lot of people use, that cost about $30 for a hi/lo pair.
Hella Supertones are more expensive ($50) but, at least for me, have the name recognition. I've heard of the compressors on FIAMM air horns crapping out, which doesn't inspire confidence in their diapragm horns, as reliable as they should be in comparison.
Right now I'm liking the Hellas since they seem to draw less current... the FIAMMs are rated at 5A each while the Hellas are rated at 6A for the pair. Are the Hellas worth the cost or are the FIAMMs worth the extra current draw?
