Best Air Horn

Can any one offer their opinions as to who makes the best 3 horn; air horn kit? I looking to buy a 3 horn kit and I have heard name s thrown around like FIAMM and HELLA. I have also heard some horror stories as well about water/dirt getting into the horns and recking them, compressors going bad, relay's frying, etc. I am looking for a set that I can just put in and foget about ( ie very reliable). Thanks.

I know this isnt what your looking for, but I have got to know what the attraction is with making our civics honk like a mac truck? never did understand that.

I have FIAMM triple air-horns, (Co-installed by Grey), I just blew my compressor. Well, I didn't blow it, Tweeter messed up my alarm wiring. i had my horn wired to my alarm and somehow it got stuck on when my alarm went off.

As for the dirt and whatnot, it all depends on where you mount them. Me and Grey both have our mounted behind the bumper under the battery (front right side) and have had no problems as of yet. Grey's are a tad louderthan mine were, because he had 2 compresors running his...
I'll reccomend either brand. Grey has Hella I think and I have FIAMM.

They don't sound like a truck horn, they sound more of a Ferrari or Lambo IMO.

I've got the FIAMM triples. Mine's also mounted under the battery. No probs with the horns clogging up or the compressor blowing. I found out the relay was defective before I even finished installing it (it was always ON), so I just replaced it with a new relay.

Air horns aren't any louder than a Fiaam Hiway blaster are they? Just a different sound?
