Stebel Nautilus vs. Hella Supertone horn

Post by Blanco_Diablo »

Looking to upgrade the wimpy factory horn, is one easier to install than the other? Not well versed in wiring/electrical mods. I think I like the sound of the Stebel better, but Hellas are nice to. The final deciding factor may be ease of installation. Open to any and all suggestions.

I'll be paying attention to this. My wife keeps making fun of my girlish horn.

Don't know what the Hella db rating is but the Stebel is 139db and that's what I mounted. It's painful if you honk it in the garage.

The are 42 threads under "horn" if you do a search, including How To's. It's simple.

Sounds good, sorry for the repeat. Just trying to get an install comparison between the two, maybe it is already out there. My bad.

My bad.If you want to read a bunch of accounts on the Hellas, you could always stop over at NASIOC.com and head for the electrical&lighting section... Hellas are HUGe with the Subie crowd... lots of info for sure...
