Weak Horn Noise..
So the horn on my coupe is kind of girly and weak sounding latley. It works but you can barley hear it, definatly not at the volume it should be.
It works on the FOB, security and steering wheel but it just isnt loud at all.
Ideas?

May be corrosion on the contacts where the wire plugs in to the horns. Clean (both the male and female contacts) with a small piece of emory cloth then use a tiny bit of dielectric grease. There are two horns, together. Probably only the high side is sounding. Had to do this to mine. Works fine now.

Some old lady went thru a stop sign and I had to hit the brakes and horn and I don't think she heard my horn. I was thinking of replacing the stock w/the hella ones. Anyone else replaced the stock horns?

I believe there are more than one horn also, a high and a low pitch, if one goes out the resulting sound is pretty weak and pathetic.
I someday want to replace my horns with something louder and hopfully with a different sound. I don't want my car to be so ordinary. are there any good replacements out there?

Where are the horns located? Mcgilles might have something there, maybe my high pitched one is out?
I just want to get this working, I moved to a bad area (or worse then previous) of town for a few months and I need my alarm functional.

There is 2 horns (1 bracket) - 1 plug
under the front bumper on the passenger side there is a trim panel with some screws remove them and panel and you can reach up there and do what you need to do.
