Part of the problem is where the horn is mounted. It is protected very well from the elements, that same protection tends to mute the sound of any horn that is mounted in that same place no matter how you point them. They are concealed behind the passenger side headlight and the area is covered on the other 3 sides by plastic panels. This leaves only a fairly small airspace for the sound to project outside of the vehicle. I installed a high note and a low note horn from a 2003 alero in that cavity, and although the horn was louder, (much Louder when actuated outside of the vehicle for a test) it was still too muted for me when installed in the stock location. But then I wanted LOUD. Thats why I mounted the hellas behind the grille pointing forward. No air restriction or plastic to absorb the sound. Thats jusy my two cents. I think that it is the High note horn thats missing, but I am not sure. (sorry)

Appreciate the info...I suppose my next question would be regarding your concerns of the exposure of the elements to your Hellas. Not that they don't look *DARN* good like that [?], but do you think that the elements might ever take their toll on 'em? Just ~MY~ .02
