That company is here in Tampa and I have seen that car in person. Let me tell you it is louder than a train. The video listed was taken here in the area around the Channelside and Ybor city area.

you can buy some very loud air horns at Harbor Freight and auto parts stores. I don't know how long they'll last but they'll be loud.

I need to get a new horn for my 93 so I've been shopping around. If I get super loud ones, I'll get some regular ones and use a relay to selectively add the loud puppies. Not every idiot deserves to get the super loud stuff. But maybe someone like the idiot driving around with just their parking lights on going down the highway at 65mph when it's pitch dark out could use a little wake up call.

Maybe a pressure sensitve switch at the bottom the horn pad run through a relay for the really loud horn. Air is still the loudest horns. These guys are running 12V 1 1/2 hp air compressors at 135 psi:eek:

With the right car you can mount those up and under the bumper. I looked around at options a few years back when I had a Ranger and an S-10. Lots of fun:)

I had a air horn off a semi truck. One of those long puppies off a Peterbilt. I was gonna rig it up with an old 20lb A/C recharge tank. Had the pull valve and everything, but the VW scirocco that I was gonna put it in got wrecked. tuned it in the garage, and boy was that loud.
