wimpy horn?
Just wondering if anyone else with an 05 HCH or other years has a problem with the horn? Mine sounds like it has laryngitis. I'm embarased when the need arises to toot....
Anyway, I've found a replacement 12v pair of tooters that is rated at 130dB that should fit but I need to double check under the hood. Cost is only 26.49 US.
Anyone else replaced the horns yet? I think a little car like the civic needs a big voice to let it be recognised.
Thanks.
Ralph

I am extremely embarased at the horn on the '06 HCH as well. I hate to ever use it. It sounds like a weak toot. Its one of a few unimportant disapointments I have with the car.

I've been tempted to visit a junk yard and get the horns off an older American vehicle and replace the winpy Honda ones.
If I ever did that, I'd also get a horn relay to handle the extra current.
Oh! How I'd love to get the horn from a train!

The horn is weak on my 06 ex sedan also. Wife honked at me in her Accord and she laughed when I tooted back. I hope to have the horn upgraded this weekend. Local parts store should have soething worthy of 4 wheels.

How about an old Road Runner?
For the most part it sounds like a regular Asian car horn to me. I do however like the old Ooooaaahhhhhgggaaaaa horns. I used to have one on my 71' Pinto (don't make fun, it had a 302 V-8 with the original gas tank)
