Forget those lame air horns that only last a few months; go for German quality! Hella super tones :

96 Montego, replacing a 95M... I miss: My running peeps in Tampa, running barefoot @ Clearwater Beach and First Choice BBQ, in Brandon. In So Cal I miss: The Malibu Canyons, CA 33 and In & Out Burgers ! I'm from Tampa, if I was from Tampa Bay, I'd be a fish!
Indian quality but great horns anyway.

Def getting train horns, not to be a douche. I'm tired of ppl trying to kill me!
Did someone say airhorns...lol...my old setup consisted of a Luggage Rack, Full Train Horn Setup on the Rack...spare trunk with hole drilled for lines, two compressors, a 5-Gallon Air Tank, both were mounted in the trunk...running off 140 PSI...

Wow this is funny. I was doing research again to find a replacement horn for my car and found my own thread that I forgot about. So far my research concludes the nautilus horn but I am not that fond of it yet.
Although these hella super tones that were previously mentioned look pretty good too.

Honestly I am contemplating the oem horn off of an nc miata. It seems to be the easiest no headache nice sounding horn. Now to find a lightly used one.
I used Hella on my last Miata. Worked great. might have to go back to that after the prior failures....
Hella supertones? I am giving them another look but having to wire in an additional relay kind of turns me off on them. I sort of want something easy to install.
Well sorry to be anticlimactic but what I ended up doing was removing the Crazy Red Italian air horn and giving everything a very thorough cleaning. I think I am able to salvage the horn.
It doesn't work great when the car is off but my voltmeter indicates that while off and pressing the horn the voltage is around 11 or so. With the car on and pressing the horn the voltage is 14 ish. With the car on the horn works better than I have ever heard it in my life.
I should preface this by saying that we bought the car 9 years ago with the horn installed and it never worked great. It was ok. Now it works great when the car is on.
The only reason I went through the trouble is because odd enough it has some sentimental value as being the only upgrade the car had for many years and I could not come to grips to throw it away. I figured it was worth trying to fix and I think I have. I took apart both trumpets and sprayed both diaphragms with a pb blaster silicon spray and I sprayed the air compressor outlet with some of the same spray.
