Piaa 85115 Superior 112Db 330Hz and 400Hz Twin Tone Bass Horn, Black

What it is: A set of electric horns that sound truck-like (deeper tone) and much louder than other aftermarket horns. Why you need it: Because the stock horns on a 2009 Toyota RAV4 sound like they were sourced from Vespa. Seriously, the stock horns are the lamest horns ever installed on an SUV in the history of all SUV's. As a matter of fact, when you meep-meep'd the stock horns at an animal attempting to cross the road, the animal just turned, glared, and charged the vehicle out of pure annoyance. And that animal was a kitten. Honking the stock horns on the RAV4 is the equivalent of whispering "Hey, just ignore this attempt to get your attention." Why I bought this horn kit.: Because PIAA has a reputation of making some of the best automotive lighting and horn systems in the world. And I needed an effective, attention-grabbing survival tool for dealing with total morons on the road. You know who they are. They are the chud's that text and drive, swerving from lane to lane at 70mph. They are the chuckleheads that haven't figured out how a 4 way stop sign works, or the death-wishers that sail through the red lights while taking a selfie. Top Tip: Make sure the engine has cooled for several hours. Installing these on the RAV4 sport takes some time, but is rather easy. 1. Remove the plastic cover in front of the radiator. These use plastic clips. Push the center in, then remove the clips. Reset them for installing the cover. 2. Remove the top mounts for the radiator with a socket. Gently push the radiator back towards the engine, and hold it there with a small block of wood or a rolled-up towel. 3. Unplug the horn connectors by squeezing the connector, then removing the connectors (there is one for each horn). 4. Use a 12mm wrench to remove the bolt for each horn. The bolt head is towards the front of the car, and you have to reach underneath the front bracket to access them. This takes the most time, because it is awkward to get to. Don't drop the bolt. Don't. Drop. The. Bolt. 5. Once the stock horns are removed, immediately dispose of them (because they just pussify the RAV4). 6. I chose to keep the factory wiring plugs, so I made short jumper wires out of 14 gauge wire with a 1/4 male blade connector on one end and a 1/4" female blade connector on the other. Solder them to prevent corrosion. Plug one end into the factory plug, and the other into the positive connector on the horn. 7. Install the included ground wire to the ground connector on the horns. The round connector is bolted to the chassis with the horn mounting bolt. 8. Mount the horns with the bolts, but thread them in from the back of the bracket, threading it towards the front of the vehicle.They will install MUCH faster. Angle the horns toward the front of the vehicle so as to provide as much clearance between the radiator and horns as possible (I ended up with about 1.5" inches). 9. Test the horns. Rejoice in how much better they sound. 10. Bolt in the radiator brackets and install the front cover with the plastic push clips. Summary: Instructions are clear, quality is great, value is well-worth it. Install this kit and live to enjoy another day behind the wheel.

For sure, better than the stock horns without the hassle of installing a compressor...The low notes are just a little below A 440 on the piano which are not at all low, but not a shrill high-end tone. They have great definition, louder than the stock horns and should have no trouble moving an 18 wheeler out of the way. I'm really glad of purchasing these after installation but may have a better opinion after being on the road a while.

They have worked for the last year. Way better sound than what the Toyota Corolla comes with!

Replaced a single meep-meep horn with this pair. They draw about 3 Amps apiece so they are safe together on a standard 10A fuse. Be sure to install facing down, or they will retain water and die early. The result was loud and attention-getting, but not air horn loud or foghorn deep. It reminds me of the larger cars with dual horns of the 60's. It is hard to tell where they are made, as the packaging is entirely in Japanese. All in all it was a worthwhile upgrade, or will be if they hold-up for several years. Update 6/2017: Horns are still loud and get attention! Amp draw has increased slightly as they aged, so I moved it onto a relay with its own 15A fuse. I also put a backfeed prevention diode across the relay coil. Remember when mounting to face downwards some, so any moisture will drain out instead of in. I would do it all again.

I put these horns on a tiny Honda commuter car to replace the anemic single horn. I rarely use my horn, but I sound like an F-350 when I do. An upgrade for any small car.

These were installed on a 2025 Toyota 4Runner Limited, to replace the VW sounding factory horns. This took the 4Runner from a beep to a bark. Very easy plug & play installation.

Perfect sound for my ‘89 Bronco! Installation was easy once I got the old horns out, which had been dead for years and were rusted in place pretty badly. The instructions are very easy to follow. The Bronco’s factory horns had only one wire going to each, so I opted for installment type B (I also couldn’t find a good spot to secure the ground wires, so I drilled a small hole into the frame of the truck and bolted them there). The stock power connectors even fit the new horns, so I ended up not having to cut them off and crimp on new connectors, as recommended in the instructions. My advice: before you purchase any new connectors or snip any wires, check if your stock connectors fit the PIAA horns, because chances are that they do. You’ll be saving yourself a step. Overall, these horns are fantastic, and it was a fun & easy project that took about an hour including drilling time. They’re only slightly louder than a stock horn, but the tone is what makes them stand out. If you’re looking for a horn that doesn’t ask, but rather TELLS people to get out of your way, look no further.

Wiring requires damaging your vehicles horn wiring harness. Step 1 “cut off your factory connector and mess with the wires” - nope not a chance. This should have been a simple plug in. Very disappointed.

I love this horn! Have 2 of these in both my cars. Pleasant bassy demanding tone and great build quality. Follow the instruction and you will not mess up the wires

Sehr gute Hupen, nicht so ein gequieke wie andere Hupen, da die Frequenzen niedrig gehalten sind. Erwartet keine Hochdruckhörner, denn es sind ja keine, aber einen guten lauten Ton hauen sie auf jeden Fall raus. Können an die serienmäßigen Hupenanschlüsse angeschlossen werden, werd mehr Wumms braucht muss eben zu Kompressorhupen greifen und Leitungen + Relais legen.

The sound of the horn is awesome and installation is easy and quick (my car is a 2018 Maxima) but compared to the marketed 112 db it seemed lacking. It isn't bad, I just thought it would be louder than the average horn.

I own a 2016 Forte EX, and I'm quite happy with it. The only thing that presented a problem was that wimpy fiat/smart/mini-like horn that makes it sound like a clown car (I know I shouldn't insult clowns by comparing their cars to fiats/smarts/minis, but you get the idea). Now anyone has their tastes for cars, that's a given. But a car should sound like a car, not like some hipster's toy you can't even get out in the winter. Not only can it be legitimate to not want to use such a horn, but when you had to, MAYBE you could be heard, but one isn't always so lucky. So yeah, now some f't[a/u]rd that can't use their turn signals and shoves their car in the way at the last second will think again. Here I realise I sound like a douchebag, but I'm just pissed off when I think of the many people who can't drive I've encountered where I live! In the province of Quebec, there are the taxi drivers in Montreal who deserve Uber to ruin them all, then there's the sunday drivers who all live in Victoriaville, for some reason... The bass horns sound perfect; not too loud, just enough (I didn't buy a train horn, after all), has the right pitch; I like it. Both horns sound perfect without needing any mod because they also don't need much amp, which is a win! For the price, if you have the same problem I had, it's worth it, and it was easy to install, too. For those interested, if you own the same model or any car that has the horn inside the bumper just behind the fog light, I admit I had to build a bracket to hold both horns instead of juste one and had to adjust it a bit so it fit right, but if you're already able to locate the horn and know how to use simple tools that even monkeys understand and anyone has at home by default, you can't find it to be difficult in any way shape or form. The only thing, though, is if you go to youtube to understand how to fit two horns instead of just one (which was my case), there is a video of a guy showing how he cut the original plug inside the bumper to solder his new horns' wires. I suggest to you to not cut that plug (because the space in there is a bit tight to start soldering comfortably); it's far easier to take out the old horn and to remove the plug that is on it that has the contacts riveted to the horn (see picture). All you have to do is drill a hole just big enough for the aluminum rivets and you'll be able to remove it, then, you can start soldering the wires with all thespace you want, and use wires long enough to place your horns according to the space you can work with. Then, if you have to, you can make brackets like I did and when you're done, all you have to do is plug the new horns using the original plug. Note that the transparent plug sleeves come with the Piaa horns; the black ones are shrink tubing I had on hand. As you can see on the picture, I used stainless steel screws to hold the wires onto the original horn plug. You can't see very well, but I soldered ring terminals to the wired so it held in place with said screws. Used the soldering iron to burn a bit of plastic off around the plug contacts so that it all could fit flat. What I did isn't the prettiest soldering job I've seen, but it's solid, holds in place, and I'm happy with the results. All you have to do is take your time, be sur you have everything before starting the job (so buy a few things at home depot OR have a dad who already has every plug you can imagine in his garage, LOL!) and it will be perfect. Things I used : - Piaa bass horns 85115 - 2x disconnect terminal (2 more than the ones provided with the Piaa horn) - 2x ring terminal - shrink tubing (anywhere you see shrink tubing on the picture there was soldering involved, not just twist and hope for the best) - 2x stainless steel screws - 2x stainless steel nuts with nylon so it won't unscrew by itself - 1/8 x 1" x whatever length you need stainless flat bar that I hammerd in a vice to fold it in a way that it fit the space I had to work with (I didn't think of taking that picture) That's it. Hope this could help

Excellent quality goods, fast secure delivery, no problems at all. Thank you.
