 - A lot of sound for a little hornThis horn replaced my stock Scion xB horns. The horn is much louder and has a European flavor to it. Just what the doctor ordered to keep those motorcylces at bay when they cut you off or weave into your lane! The included wiring diagram is incorrect. I would have given this product 5 stars if the diagram was better. Using the included diagram was unsuccessful and added one hour to an otherwise simple install procedure. Look on the internet for a wiring diagram that works. Also mount the horn away from snow and debris. Overall a great product! Rating:  - Outstanding horn for the price! I have installed three of them!This horn is amazing, and is installed on two cars and a motorcycle of mine. The tone is a very shrill, high-pitched, and dissonant. This is not a big rig airhorn, but a shrieky euro-sounding horn that is guaranteed to get attention--which is the point. Rating: - Great Horn - Installation trickyI recently was almost run off the road on my Suzuki V-Strom by a driver merging onto the freeway. She was singing to a tune and never looked into the lane she was changing into, which happened to be mine. I blew my horn which had no affect at all. My factory motorcycle horn is about equivalent in volume to a person blowing their nose with a bad cold. My only option was to speed up and get in between her and the car on my left. Once I got clear I was determined to get a new horn. I received my order in only 2 days using the standard ground shipping option. That was surprising since some of the stuff from Amazon lately has taken 2 weeks to get to me. I also ordered the optional wiring kit which came in the same box. I strongly suggest you get this kit unless you have a garage full of different gauge wires and connectors. Installation, It took me 2 hours to install this horn. First it's not small so you have to find a suitable mounting place. Forget about mounting it where the existing hockey puck size horn is. Then you have to buy or fabricate your own mounting bracket because it doesn't come with any way to attach it to the bike. The one screw it does come with is stated in the instructions as having to be torqued to 50 foot pounds. For a horn? There are no written wiring instructions with the horn, but there is with the optional wiring kit. But unless you want to be confused, don't read the instructions and instead follow the wiring diagram which is the same on both the horn and wiring kit. The outcome was good but it took a lot longer then I expected. If you are not good with electrical wiring expect to spend even more time. Bottom Line: THIS HORN IS LOUD! It does exactly what it says it does. It corrects what I believe is a major safety flaw on most bike and some cars. Why not five starts: It should come with the wiring kit. It's only $10.00. They could add it to the price of the horn and charge less for the combo since it doesn't require separate packages. It should come with a simple black bracket that would work for the majority of installs. Rating: - Stebel Horn ReviewThis is an amazingly loud horn. Much louder than twin Fiamms. Not the smallest horn in the world and it needs a strong mount.
