installed my Freeway Blasters today :)
Installed a High & Low Freeway Blaster today. Even though I pulled the battery connection I still had this sinking feeling that the horn would go off as I connected it (kinda like sticking a fork in the toaster after you unplug it).
I had one little problem. I was installing them in the parking lot of Pep Boys and got the driver side done no problem. The passenger side had a pipeline routed in front that made the bracket too long. I drove home and tried out the horn. Didn't really notice a difference but remembered it was only 1 of 2. Drilled a new hole in the bracket and chopped the top. Plugged them both in and WOW, I can't believe I lived all these years with all sorts of wimpy horns. Ain't nobody cuttin' me off now!!!

I have a very old video in the Tech section of what the horns sound like.
Still have not got around to getting a better clip after all these years.

I have them, Rachel says they sound wimpy.
I do know it's her honking at me even when I'm not looking though. Definately has a unique sound. Congrats, now it's fun to honk at people again!

Seriously? Just pull over and ask her to drive one night and while she walks out front to switch with you lay on the horn. Then peel out screaming "Freeway Blasters B!†©H"

okay, I took some clips but the problem is the audio on my digicam adjusts dynamically so they don't sound nearly as loud as they are. Just listen to Corey's freeway blasters to hear the tone and imagine them a lot louder.
