I added a 2nd horn to the cruiser. I still was not happy, not loud enough. The placement of the original horn is completely sealed and mutes the sound of the horns. This makes an already weak sounding horn even weaker. I then added a second set of horns (from a 2003 Alero) to the other side of the car in the same place as the originals. Still was not loud enough to wake anyone up if they're doing a dumb thing in front of you. Finally I got some Hella german horns from Griots Garage. I found out about these from another post on this forum. I removed the grille (only 2 bolts to remove) and installad them behind the grille over to each side (to insure not to blocf air flow ro the coolers and radiator). These horns are 113db, and mounted with no resriction (unlike the original horn placement) they are LOUD. In fact it is hard to stand in front of the cruiser with the alarm screaming. One caution though, the only drawback is that if you run into a deer hard enough the horns get bent backwards and may poke a hole in the transmission cooler. Don't ask me how I know LOL...

KingKole02, I installed the 2nd horn, it's louder than before but I'm sure not as loud as gearhead's set up. Adding the 2nd horn would be the cheapest way to make it louder. Actually the cheapest way would be if Chrysler didn't remove it in the first place, but that's been discussed many times on this forum.
