Your car horn is your voice on the road - choosing the right one ensures you're heard clearly when it matters most. Let me guide you through selecting the perfect horn for your needs.
When selecting a car horn, consider sound level (85-120dB), tone type (single/dual), vehicle compatibility, and durability - our 12V universal models fit 95% of vehicles while offering weatherproof protection.
Make an informed decision with these key considerations for your next horn purchase.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Car Horn
Not all car horns are created equal. The right choice depends on your specific vehicle, driving environment, and personal preferences.
Key factors include sound output (measured in decibels), frequency (Hz), power requirements (12V/24V), and construction materials - our horns offer 110dB output at 400-500Hz with corrosion-resistant aluminum housings.
