    The Sharptone sounds so much better. The supertone sounds too much like something on a fishmarket truck in China...you know, the little 3 wheeled things...

    🍎For all thoes asking why one would install an aftermarket horn. I'll list 3 reasons.
    ●Inclement weather prevents other drivers from hearing a stock horn. Snow covered, loud hail, high winds.
    ●Having a louder, more piercing sound, can give the other drivers additional vital seconds to correct their situation sooner to help prevent a collision.
    ●And finally, noone takes a quiet horn seriously. With a loud horn they will instinctively become alert to their surroundings, it human nature. Louder is more alerting.
    SHARPTONE with 12v relay wiring harness for the win.
    Drive safe :)

    • @apeanutbutterwolf6529
      @apeanutbutterwolf6529 7 лет назад

      TotalDbag. lol right on. I just installed the Hella Sharp Tone (yellow) and kept one of two stock horns in the circuit. They are significantly louder and I do recommend them. Ebay sells the Hella sharp tones for $28. You could save yourself some time and plug n play or if you want to keep one of your old horns to fill in the frequency, buy a universal wire harness that'll fits relays.
      You might need to modify the wire length with a universal horn wire harness but its not too bad, just make sure everything is water proof and use dielectric grease everywhere. :)
      Subimods probably has just the horns for sale stll also.

    My wife’s Rav 4 came with horns I can only describe as “anemic”. Semi’s could not here them and nearly had a collision because of that. Installed a set of Hella Supertones and changed that equation. I’m installing a set of sharptones on my motorcycle for the same reason. Great horns, very affordable.

    Thanks for posting this! I had looked into buying a Supertone for my vintage Volvo because they're what's all over the enthusiast parts sites, but after listening to this I chose to buy the Sharptone. I honestly think it sounds a lot more like just a louder version of the stock horn than the Supertone, which to me sounds a lot more Italian than anything. Honestly think that if they flip-flopped the names they'd be more accurate. :P
    And hey, the blue and gold works on a Swedish car as well as it does on a Subaru anyway.

      I know its 3 years late. If you want the maximum loudness then yes install the relay and harness. If you are okay with similar to factory loudness then you can likely use the factory harness without issue.

      Hella JUNK! They were loud for a minute and then they rusted out and no longer function. I loved the loud GTFOOMW sound. But they rust out SO quick. Horrible quality.
