Electronic Sounders
 
Has anybody installed an aftermarket electronic sounder, so that when you reverse, others can hear your vehicle coming? This would be a really cool accessory to customize your TCH.

I am considering a custom Klaxon C-series sounder that comes with a comes with a 110 dB single piezo, with high visibility xenon strobe.

That way all the Prius owners will stop and look at me with envy when I back up.

Should I consider the double piezo so I can get 188 dB?

A friend of mine has one and says all the chicks dig it too;)

LEAKYTCH — Double the power of 110 dB gets you only 113 dB I'm afraid! (It's a logarithmic scale.) 188 dB would represent a pressure variation almost equal to atmospheric pressure — the kind of thing that happens in a thermonuclear explosion — and probably not what you want to try in the parking lot. It would, however, certainly blow the chicks away!

You want your car to beep when you back up? Like a forklift?
