Default anyone using the HELLA twin supertone horns?

these:

I installed these years ago, and they suck (always have). I think I might only be running on one of them, but it sounds like i'm driving over the AFLAC duck when I hit the horn. I bridged them like the instructions mention. Curious if anyone else is running these and it sounds good?

Here is a shot installed:

Or do I need to point them forward? I can't see the direction making the sound that much better.

Otherwise I'll just buy another electric horn. Any recommendations. "La Cucaracha" does qualify as a good horn sound.

Go for the Dukes of Hazard horn sound instead.

Default Yup, mine point all over the place, and they are good enough

Obviously both pointed forward, right next to eachother, would be best. I don't really like the sounds that much, kinda sounds like a Japanese car - I'd rather have an Italian air horn ;-).

Default Mine are plenty loud, much louder and I think it would be annoying

For instance, if you have to tap the horn to tell someone it's a green light after they've been sitting there for 5 seconds, and it's REALLY loud, it might be a bad thing ;-).

Default no, that's the fun part - if they fall asleep waiting for the red light.............

to change to green, they deserve to pee their pants when you hit the horn.
