So.... Without adding a relay, or a second horn mount; what's the loudest single horn I can add?
Should be fine with a single Fiamm highway blaster. I added two and it was fine until I got pissed and laid on the button too long one day. Prob not as loud as with a proper harness, but better than meep meep factory horn.

The low tone would be best for a single IMO.

I mounted two Fiamms. Later added a relay, unbelievable difference. Wonder if a relay would improve just one?
As long as you use the appropriate sized wiring definitely. But if you are going to do that might as well get the high/low combo :)

I was unsatisfied with stock Honda horn.
I bought the Fiamm 72112 Freeway Blaster (Low Tone) horn off eBay for under $12.00
(FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster LOW Note Horn 798813016966 | eBay)
Very much a "Plug-and-Play" operation and sounds much louder and considerably more impressive than the stock eek-er.
Hardest part of entire install was pulling and replacing push pins in the belly pan (lower shroud).
The "Bell" of the horn comes out the front of the shroud and projects sound MUCH better than original pancake membrane style.
No additional wiring, relays or fuses... connects to existing wires.
Here's my picture...

Thank you for your post and pics. I needed a better horn in traffic the other day. Seems to be one of the simpler mods I can accomplish without to much frustration. Plus Amazon has the FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster LOW Note Horn on sale today for $8.78. Must be a sign.

UPDATE: I received the horn the next day and installed in about 20 minutes. The horn is a little louder and at a lower frequency that the stock horn. It sounds like a car horn which should be better than before.
