Upgrading horns on the FJ, what to use?
I did the straight swap of the $11-12 horn by Fiam from the local auto parts stre, 130 db, I did just the high tone, a nice improvement. I can now here my horn at 80 with earplugs in, heard nothing before. No relay, bent the stock bracket some, stock wires. If I were to add a second horn I would hook to my more recently installed accessory block that runs off a relay but I don’t think it is necessary for just the swap. I bought 2 horns from Auto Palace, 130 DB each, one high note and one low note, and mounted them onto the front brake line junction, removing the original bracket. I took a beefy line directly from the battery and hooked up the horn switch to a relay. (A must) They are FIAMM horns cost $13 each, the relay about $3. (Suggest to always use a fused line coming from the battery). It sonds really loud The 2-tone makes a big difference. Be careful about the mounting. These horns have to be solidly mounted in order to work. Otherwise they get muffled.
