I put in one of those $5 12v horns, from aliexpress, in. It’s plenty loud. I installed it behind my front headlight.
I bought 2 of them too, a long time ago, could never get them to work, anyway I tried. What did you tie them int? What voltage/test did/could you apply to validate they work prior to installation?I put in one of those $5 12v horns, from aliexpress, in. It’s plenty loud. I installed it behind my front headlight.
