OSOLMIO Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Has anyone changed out the cartoon horn on their Del Sols? I want to do this after being run off the road and into another lane by semis and 4X4's. At least I want to let them know I am there before I hit the shoulder. Looking for something loud and intimidating to get their attention. Oh and for starters where is the horn? I have stared over and under the engine compartment and my Haynes manual is no help at all. Sure I can lay in the horn and try to locate where the sound is coming from but that did not work. Does it look like a conventional horn? Round, flat with a mounting bracket? Or is it about the size of a quarter because that is about as loud as it sounds and hidden behind the catalytic converter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is just behind the bumper cover, in front of the radiator. They look like discs, about 3 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three and the horn sounds that anemic??? Thanks. I'll get out my two most effective tools a crowbar and framing hammer and get rid of them today. I could do a better job yelling out the window. You live in Arlington? I used to live on Glebe road in Arlington across the bridge from Alexandria. I went to Gunston Middle School. Those were the best years of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 You can buy a train horn online. That should get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSOLMIO Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 You can buy a train horn online. That should get the job done. I was looking in the best car parts catalog, J.C. Whitney and saw some semi horns and there is not enough room under the hood for something that long. I suppose a train horn is even bigger and I could get it chromed and mounted on the hood. Actually if I could get one to fit I would not mind a train horn. I wonder if they are legal in my state? I thought some states ban certain decibel level horns.

Though horns can sound weak if you lay on it, but they should return to their normal sound eventually. I just moved to Arlington last week. I'm just off Glebe actually, off 26th street/Army Navy Dr. in the apartments. I like it here so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love that if it had a PA mike system so I could hold conversations with other drivers but fortunately for me they are illegal here. If I had a PA I would get beat down so often I would be in a permanent body cast. I can imagine what I would say.."HEY you stupid mother f-----er, Charger license number CEF-189 I see you survived your mother's abortion only to grow up as a f----ng 'tard and change lanes without signalling? Where the "F" did you get your license you piece of feces sucking ^%$^#)(%*&$...anyway you can imagine how I would practice my FREE SPEECH amendment on the roadway. No more yelling in the car and upsetting my passengers, I get to p--- off road users. I can only dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmgogo Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 the horn is down on the core support infront of the AC condenser. What i ended up doing is getting the horns off an old land yacht (tbird) and using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
