HELLA Supertones :D
Big thanks to M-Motorsports for the great price. Not sure if there's any left for the Group Buy price, but check with him! If not, they're still cheap even without the GB price.

These things are friggin' tiny. Don't ask me why, but I was expecting some 6.5"s, LOL. But holy **** these are loud.
I'm working on getting a sound clip. But you can just YouTube it. They all sound the same, no matter what car they're on.
So this is where I installed mine. I didn't tighten everything yet, which is why it's kinda pointing down.
Basically, each horn comes with three brackets. Only I was too stupid/impatient enough to realize this lol. Right now I'm only using two of the brackets on each side. I'm going to use the thirds to elbow them into the position I want them in. BTW, the three brackets are pre-mounted and layered onto each horn (that's why I didn't realize there were three lol). It takes some WD-40 and elbow grease to unmount them from the horns. Or maybe I'm just supa dupa weak.
They're uneven right now. But I was eyeballing it and didn't realize they were uneven until after I put the grille back on. And they're too far apart IMO. Imma hafta get back in there and readjust them later today or tomorrow morning.
Update: Adjusted the passenger side horn so it is now level (or close enough, lol) to the driver side. I decided not to "elbow" them in closer with the third brackets after all. They look fine from about 10' out.
Sorry for the iPhone 4 flash pics.

They're mostly popular with the Suby guys.
Guess that makes me a wanna be, lol.
Here are better pictures of them installed on a G (member: xXHotelCrazyXx). Looks much better in natural light without the crappy iPhone 4 flash. His are mounted closer together. I'm considering doing the same, but I'll probably leave them as they are. They don't look as far apart/odd if you look at my car from further away.

Either way, these things are LOUD. Maybe I'll start using them more often.

^^^I didn't know the stock horns were 110 dB. Whether they are or not, the HELLAs are definitely louder. I think it has to do with the pitch, too. The higher pitch is more annoying, lol. So they seem louder.
