I just found out tonight its legal. Oh well, I needed a new one since my old horn died 6 months ago and Im just replacing it now

look from under your car, at the bumper ( a bit behind it ) you should see a metal beam

thats where you should mount the horns

i doubt you could fit them on the stock location, its very small and a tight spot

Thanks eman, I was thinking that area too, but was too lazy to take off the bumper so I wanted to mount them in the engine bay.

Going to tackle it again today

It is recommended to aim it DOWNWARDS, and away from heat.


Lately my dad uses the horn about 5 times on Saturday noons just at Market Village / Pacific Mall's parking lot, pathetic drivers (Oh god especially the new stop signs at the underground entrance!). If there are stop signs, they dont stop, if there arent any, they stop for no reasons.

gotta position it so no water can travel into the horn

your gonna love it

This may be a new addition to my dad's highbeam way when travelling to Maple...

Was the installation easy? Where did you place it, I assume behind the bumper instead inside the engine bay. Hella Tripple Horns sounds awesome, how are the ones at Canadian Tire?

How'd you tap the wire?

It took me a good 3.5 hours to do this, but I didn't cut corners. I crimped and soldered all connections, wire loom, and even locktite on the threads so they wont come loose.

I placed it right where the stock horn sits. I have to modify the bumper, because it pushes a bit on the bottom trumpet, so I need to make a notch in it.

I mounted the compressor where the stock resonator box was, so its protected from the eliments, and the trumpts in front of the rad in the stock horn location.

Ive never heard Hella triple horns, but these are Monza dual trumpet horns, they sound great from my perspective.

The wiring was a bit tricky, but I figured it out. at first I thought the civic was 12+ switched to horn, but after probing with my multimeter I found that it was 12+ all the time, and when you turn the horn on, it grounds, completitng the circuit.

So I used a relay, hooked it to my battery terminal with a fuse (30a), then to the relay, then from relay to compressor, then the white and green wire (12v+) to terminal 86 i belive on relay, and the blue and ?? wire to 85 I think.

Works fine.

Have you ever heard a coffe truck?
That's what it sounds like.

I have a blue set in the garage from my old car.....one day when it gets warmer, I'll put them on the civic.

The one's on OcTaNeTeDdYs car were hard to hide. Took around 1 1/2 hours.

You can't see them.
