Horn

[Guinness]

Right well theres a thread nocking about for changing the horn in the ibiza to a better one, well Im after doing it tooo. The1.2 however I think is diffrent too most of yours, the horn is tucked in very tight. Wondering if this is the same as all your bigger car lot and what options I have, looking to spend no more than £40.

theres a pic, any help much apprecaited

Certainly the same for the 2007 TDi FR. I want to change my 'gay' one as well. Just haven't got round to it. Think it might be a bumper-off job. Or perhaps not, as looks as though there seems to be enough room on your engine anyway.

If you do a search this should bring up the threads. Don't think you'll need to spend as much as £40.

I was able to remove my passenger side fog light surround and fit a pair of twin tone horns to my fr without removing the bumper

I skinned my knuckles but it was worth it

Could you post a bigger picture - can't quite see that one.....

 

[Guinness]

well u see people complain they cant see em so I post big ones. Anyway think im going to get me a stebel horn, dont fancy an air horn just a low tone one might get a two tone

 

[Aimez]

yes this is a good mod i think, i might get one from the VW bora i think

 

[Guinness]

well I bough a stebel TM80/1 (Single) horn for £13+pp pretty excited for it coming. You can tell its pay day, bought mounting brackets for front speakers, some sony speakers for the front, aero rear wiper and thats on the first day of pay day

 

[Aimez]

where you buy the horn from halfords?

 

[Guinness]

motor world or something only place I could find that would do it, arrives soon ish. Anyway really class make of horn stebel, plus u can hear the horn on the website (not great but u can hear the tone in comparison to others)

I have a Stebel Nautilus i installed on mine, it really has the "get out of my road" effect!

 

[Guinness]

u got me excited now lol

question about getting the horn - does a new one which is LOUD and a better sound (dual tone etc) involve amps and rewiring and a new cone?

or just a new cone hooked up to the existing wiring?

 

[Guinness]

its not a dual tone as I dont have room really and yes it should just be a straight wiring jobby

 

[Yella Beeza]

I changed the single tone horn for a Stebel Nautilus dual-tone on the last car I had. Was just a simple case of disconnecting the two wires from the old horn and connecting it to the Stebel. No rewiring to do.

If the sound is poor try swapping the wires round. Also it has a couple of short trumpets but is compact. Watch where you put it though. It's right behind the grille and don't have the trumpets pointing forwards or they will fill with water. Better to point them down.

 

[Guinness]

the on I have bought isnt a trumpet one its very similar to stock, will post picks when Im done

Just been looking at the horn your talking about guiness sounds cool.
Did you listen to the musical ones? Fit one of those and you'd sound like the dukes of hazard cruising through Newcastle. You'd just need to get the gf in to some hot pants and a ginham shirt tide in the middle and the jobs complete!!

At least you can hear what you are buying!

 

[Phil_beeza]

hmm the TM80 mangum is what i'd call a horn sound

 

[Aimez]

yes the mangum one is the coolest, can you buy them through that website somewhere?
