I only had room for one. It took about 15 minutes to install the "Blaster" (made in Italy). The horns are sold as louder replacements for trucks and cars. It is much louder than a car horn (they're rated at 110dB each, and I believe it). The Italian horn has a more musical note than the Detroit or Jap variety. You could practically raise the dead with this thing, I can't imagine anyone spending $30-$40 for air horns that are only marginally louder and have the compressor, etc. to deal with. My advice would be to scout out a pair of Italian electrics at a local discount store, mount one or both, and keep the $20 or so that you save for gas money. Sincerely, Bill Norcott P.S. I skipped using the relay that came with the horns, and I've had no trouble with my electrical system.
