Biggest and Baddest Car Horn

Personally, I have 2 pairs of Bosch EC6 horns because I like the "pot-pot" sound. This is loud enough to startle unruly pedestrians (tried and tested on a daily basis) and consistent enough to be blasted for 30 seconds straight on annoying motorists without "paos".

An equally common alternative would be 2 pairs of Bosch Europa horns, for the "bing bing" sound. I think 2 pairs of Europas are marginally louder than EC6's, but are also much more expensive (2.5k for a pair vs. 900 for the EC6). I'd get them for a change, in case I buy a second car or my Ranger's EC6's conk out.

95% of the time, these horns (or other loud equivalents such as Stebels) would be sufficient and you'd be louder than the majority of the traffic. Yesterday though, I felt so dwarfed when I was honking at a bus, then a 2014 F-150 with air horns started honking too and completely drowned out my pot-pot.

Also, I think you should reconsider your stance on not changing your car's horns. It's one of the simplest and cheapest mods you can do that is almost entirely fool-proof, and doesn't affect the rest of your warranty.

...for the pesteng motorcycles and jeepneys on the road, i installed two sets each on my montero and xtrail; a mitsuba and bosch europa and stebel and bosch rspectively...the ones on the xtrail are all airhorns and yes, namamaos pag nakababad ka...

Also check out the mounting location of your horns. Even 1 set of potpot horns is loud enough if located right behind the grille. 2 sets for insurance. Hehehe!

that is probably DJQuan of Kotseaudioclub. It's a gen2 rav4. it is so powerful, it requires it's own battery. matagal pa ang recharge time.

I ended up buying 2 pairs of Bosch EC6 (since wala rin sila EC9). Very satisfied naman parang Mitsuba na rin.

Sobrang late na ng reply, but anyways you can find a complete line of genuine high end Mitsuba horn sa 20th Century a/s sa Valenzuela, Pasig Isuzu a/s sa Pasig, Davao Partsman a/s sa Davao, Michiba Marketing sa Cagayan de Oro, TSP Auto Supply sa Navotas, Midline Enterprises sa Bacolod, Janus Mktg sa Dipolog. Konti lang nagdadala ng Mitsuba genuine horn since the prices are very expensive and it is only being catered to high end A and B class of consumers since the products are higher end compared to Stebel, FIAMM, Bosch and etc... which caters to the MID range market. Prices of Mitsuba ranges from 2k++ up to a whopping 15k++, those people who buy this level of horns don't care about how much they spend on a product which is on the top of the pyramid.

I just recently bought from one of the shops. The shop offered me free installation.

i used to have a wolo big bad max, it was loud but not irritating, it sounded like a RORO horn, big, bassy and ballsy after the novelty faded i sold it, i came to realize that a trumpet sound is more ear piercing and annoying..
