Re: [AMC-list] sparton horns

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of horns, the big 'trend' in Houston is train horns on cars. If you want something to wake up neighborhood for mile around those will do it. Not sure if legal or not, but I have ooooooghas on several of my AMCs, and one has a 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' old school type siren where the wheel spins in middle of horn. But those train horns have been catching on for years now, and what is funny is some of the people that do use them know the 'signal crossing' horn blowing from actual trains of a 'whaa, whaa, whaaaaaaaaa, whaaaaaaaaa' maybe ex railroad workers. 

You can find those train horns on ebay. Not sure what decibels they are but can hear them on I-10 over mile away. 

My pair of Sparton horns on ebay mentioned earlier, give me a good old, one pound burrito from Mission Burritos and I can get louder than them.

  My 63 Classic wagon has a pair of horns I swiped from a early 1950's Studebaker 1-ton or larger dump truck. BIG TERRIFYING GTFO OF THE WAY MURDERHORNS. I am still traumatized from when I adjusted them around 1993. They're mounted under the front fender, pointing down/forward at a 45 degree angle so the sound bounces off the asphalt. They WORK GREAT. 


  Trains get out of MY way!


  OK I haven't actually tested that yet but they damn well ought to work.

    the homeless guy under I-10 with 6 pit bulls tied to shopping cart is louder than these horns. They work, just sort of 'blurrtttttrrrrrrrrttttt' sound, won't scare any 18 wheelers or Hyundais with DUBS out of the way with them.
