Who's running an Air Horn?
Yes, I've searched the forum and read a few threads about this, but my search continues.
I recently upgraded my OEM horn to one of the cheaper Wolo models from an auto parts place. Yes, it's slightly louder and sounds better, but like the factory horn, it's still a "wimp."
So I've been looking at air horns again lately. There are the integrated types like Wolo, Euroblast, and others, and the types with actual really-for-real bugle-like horns that mount on the left side or on your highway bar, like Howard's Horns and others.
What can you recommend? I want a horn that's noticeably louder, but not one that wakes up the dead.
I don't quite need this, as cool as it is:
But the current horn still isn't the attention-getter I'm after.
Suggestions?

I've got Rivco horns on mine withb2 compressors, one for each trumpet. I originally had Howard's Horns but they never worked right. I used the compressor from the Howard's Horns for the second compressor.

I've never ran one but I'd like to have one. If it was a plug and play/run, I'd get one tomorrow. But I hate wiring up anything, no matter how easy it looks or supposed to be.

I had the Wolo Bad Boy. It was loud and really grabs the other drivers attention. Its pretty compact so can mount anywhere. Mine did cut out after about 3 years, but I ride in really crappy conditions year round.
