Title: Is it ok to fit this ?
Post by: omega3000 on 02 October 2013, 19:43:27: Just wondering if there is a limit to decibels :-\

Car Horn (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110dB-12V-LARGE-CHROME-RETRO-ANTIQUE-STYLE-CLASSIC-CAR-TRUMPET-KLAXON-HORN-/370680940282?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AVectra%7CPlat_Gen%3AB&hash=item564e4e46fa)

Twin horns must only sound simultaneously, ie each horn can make a different sound, but they must both sound at the same time and in a continuous manner :y

If it helps, mine is 122db, 100w ::)

Post by: 05omegav6 on 02 October 2013, 22:55:59: To be clear, my initial post was with regard to the db output :y I had assumed it was a single tone, which would be legally fine for road use ::)
