Cuz I tried doing that and I chipped a little piece of plastic off the middle but still unable to remove it.

Yea, you pop out the middle and the whole thing pulls right out. Most of the time. I chipped a couple too!

Awesome post, CivicWithNav. I replaced my horn this past weekend with the

MaxiSound and the difference is like night and day.
I built my only wiring harness using Crimp-On Quick-Disconnects which made the installation a lot quicker and cleaner.

I read somewhere that the dual horn setup from an Odyssey will fit the stock wiring connections.

Anyone else read anything similar?

Yeah it sound like a man horn. I hate the old horn "not pimpin at all."

Spargo · 11-01-2006, 11:59 PM

hey the fit is utilitarian really, a functional but cute vehicle, the si is a sports cars, and real sports cars often have wimpy horns, i guess to embody lightness etc. Think of like a ferrari for example, esp older models. you've got the exaust to send out some real noise.

It's not heavy at all. Only issue is it is a little awkward for only one person. It's possible, but you may end up dropping it.

i'm really a newbie to this, i was wondering if you can tell me the whole wiring process. I bought a dual tone horn, comes with a relay and i don't know how to wire them up, like what to splice and what kind of wire to get.

A lot of help would be greatly appreciated. sorry, newb here

my "fit" horn sounds sexy :]

ndingler · 02-18-2007, 01:39 PM

I just did this mod... Thanks for the helpful pix!
I bought a low tone horn from Pep boys for $20 and spliced it onto the existing horn line like you did... Then I mounted it right beside the original horn, so I got the low tone from the new horn, and the high tone from the original. Sounds much better.

Thanks for the help

Would you have a new link? The link above is broken now.

I gotta change the horn on my sedan.

***mbringle*** · 06-28-2007, 03:56 PM

Anyone have the part number for that little wiring harness that runs to the horn from the connector in front of the radiator? I would like to wire it all up before I tear the bumper off. I am going to have it trigger a relay that will then power my hella horns straight off the battery. More power, more sound
