But you've only fitted one, that's just not good enough.

From conversations I've had (sketchy memory now), but double the audio source (ie, two of the same horn, instead of one), and you increase percieved sound pressure by 3dB(A). Sound pressure is a log scale, so 2dB(A) is twice as loud as 1dB(A).

So, if my memory serves me rightly, my horns are 6 times louder than yours Stingo.

Then I went and added airhorns...

EDIT: If you run the stock horn, and the Stebel Magnum, you get an interesting effect known as "frequency beats" which gets more attention than a single tone horn. Note, this effect isn't done just by havving two horns, its the individual frequencies that count.
