Default anything louder than supertones?

that can be mounted either somewhere in the engine bay (maybe even the fender well?) or even in front of the radiator like my supertones are right now. even though the hellas are quite loud, i'm looking for something that would REALLY scare the crap outta someone whos in front of me

Run some more Supertones in parallel?

If you double the number of horns, you should get a 3dB increase in sound level, which isn't much. Quadruple it and you'll get a 6dB increase in sound level which should be quite enough already!

Go down to the nearest train yard and nab some of those air horns off of a locomotive. I promise you that you will get EVERYONE'S attention!

adding supertones would get kinda expensive - what about fiamm's? they make a horn that is similar looking to the supertone, and is also small and compact.

hmm...but what was that about air horns? ---which are apparently louder than the electric ones?

Hehe, the Sparco Tow vehicle (big F-series Ford) has some train horns on it. They need their own compressor and air tank, and they are LOUD. Funny as hell...sounds like a train is on the freeway.
