Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me if there is a 12v horn available that sounds close to the original 24v one? I remember seeing the "roadrunner" beep beep horn in JC Whitney years ago, but how close is the sound with these?
As always, thanks for the info! I have a friend looking for one.

Welcome to the site Daniel! I was wondering when you would get here. Dont hesitate to ask anything here - just make sure to make a concerted effort to search for the answer beforehand, a most questions have been asked before (many times).

I picked up one of these horns for my 12v system (I think it was from the vendor Wes mentioned). Works great and has 100% jeep sound. Only difference from the 24v horn on the jeep was the electrical connections on the horn body, but they are easy to adapt.
