Horns for my Prius May 11, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Just traded my Nissan Armada for a Toyota Prius. I love the Prius, but the horns it came with were very disappointing. After doing a little online research I found these horns. This kit actually contains two horns: one 500Hz and the other 600Hz.
There are two versions of these horns: a lower pitched one that sounds like a typical American car horn (400Hz horn + 500Hz horn), and these horns which are slightly higher pitched and sound like a European sports car (500Hz horn + 600Hz horn). I found sound recordings of both horns online and decided that the sound of these horns would more fit the Prius. If you want a more traditional sound, go with the lower pitched horns.
Installation was very easy. I was able to install in the stock horn locations; no relays required. I ran the grounds to the mounting bolts. I now have no problem being heard on the freeway.
loud, nice tone, solid value May 16, 2008

i looked at various hella twin horn setups (owned the set found in griot's catalog many years ago) before finding these. i made a quick visit to youtube to see if i could find sample sound bites of the hellas vs. these, which i did, and after listening to them decided to go with the piaa's.
like another reviewer, i chose the higher tone (500hz and 600hz) piaa's because to me they sound better, or more unique, than the lower tone ones, which sound like a stock american horn.
i installed these on a jeep wrangler, whose stock single factory horn is anemic and dangerous, since it can barely be heard. the piaa's come with very clear instructions for installation. you simply match up one of 4 diagrams with your factory setup and then follow the simple steps in the instructions to wire them up.
you do not need a relay to install these. i did have to tap into my existing positive and negative factory horn wires, since i was going from one stock horn to dual horns. piaa provided the extra wiring to do this and the quality of the wiring and spade ends is excellent. i did have to go buy two female spade bits for the ends of the factory wires, since i had to cut those off the factory harness. crimping on new spade ends was not hard at all. the whole install took about 15 minutes and the dual horns fit perfectly in the stock location.
i am very, very satisfied with the piaa sports horns, in terms of both loudness and quality of the sound. i was a little skeptical because of their low price, but they really do deliver, and i think they are better than the more expensive hellas. they seem well-made and combined with the great instructions, i don't see how you can go wrong. highly recommend.
PIAA 500Hz + 600Hz. Sports Horns July 2, 2008
I replaced the single horn that came on my 2008 Ford Ranger with the Model
85112 Piaa sports horns. What a difference in sound and attention getting from other motorists, which was the idea. I am very pleased with this package, all parts were included and the instructions were very clear and easy to understand.
Thanks for a nice product.
They are loud October 8, 2008
I just installed the 85112 horns on my '31 Ford Roadster street rod. My take - if you can't hear these horns, you're deaf. I do have some concern with the plastic construction but they are inexpensive enough that if they fail, you aren't going to go broke replacing them.
The instructions should make make reference to a "new installation" as well as factory, but after a couple of readings, you can figure it out.

Great product to upgrade a wimpy or worn out horn. Installation was straightforward for a backyard mechanic.
