Could I wire one side...

I was wondering if it would be possible to wire my steering wheel so that when you press the left side, the normal horn would sound, but if you press the right side, it would sound aftermarket air horns. Would it be possible to do this? And if so, would be it too hard/expensive to justify?

hard maybe, you would have to take your wheel apart... and watch for the airbag lol and it would voild what you have left on your warentty (sp? its too early [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] )

So it would be a better idea as of now (since I have the extended warranty) to just go with the airhorns?

it would be to much of a pain in the @$$ to do it, but you could get a after market steering whell with the horn buttons and wire those independantly, you would also need different relays so not just the factory one would sound.....

but why in the world would you want two different types of horns on your car? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

The reason I want two different horns is to have the stock one for minor attn getting/ city driving, and the air horn for more important times/ highway driving. I don't want the super loud air horn all the time. Thats why.

white2K2EX, be careful if you get the hella horns that I got. When my friend and I were testing them out he hold the connection and the horn in front of him while I went to go honk the horn as a test.

The horn was so loud, that he heard ringing for 5 hours after. I had to yell for him to be able to hear me. He is better now. But I warn you. These horns are damn loud, no kidding.

FlyRiceRacer - I figured they're loud as can be. Which is why I want both. Do you know if the other three horns on the link you gave me are any less loud?

Ask Grey, he has the Triple Air Horns.

I want to record mine so that you all can hear them. Maybe Grey will record his so that we can compare.
