That’s a tight squeeze. You may have to put them upfront if you have room in the bumper

The flare on the horns is 5" diameter and the lengths are 12.75", 14.75", 16.25", 19.5".
Maybe you could fit 2 facing right & 2 facing left.?
It’s a pretty tight squeeze for sure, but its basically the whole length of the bumper space wise almost. The only reason I can’t fit them anywhere else is because there’s like the skid pad on the bottom of the car that covers EVERYTHING haha. Engine bay is also completely filled up, front bumper may work, but I don’t think there’s much room in there either.
I’ll try and take some measurements today.
They can all be facing different ways if needed correct?
yep the sound will be spread around more lol
Bolt them inside the car
So little update… Ordered the shocker kit. Can’t wait!
Congrats

Be bold and mount them to the roof
No, If your windows up, than nothing is protect your ears. but even with your windows down I think you should be fine.
Gotcha. Well there ordered so now I just gotta wait. Hopefully it’s easy installing them. I think my hardest part will be tapping into the horn wire… Not sure where that is haha
A good place to start looking for the Horn wire is behind the fron grill where the horn wire is and just tap off that via a switch inside the car and then onto the valve.
That makes since. Yeah the horns are in the bottom of the front bumper and the bumper is pretty difficult to get off, but once I get it off that’s all I do? Just splice the wire into the wire running to the horns?
yeah simple as that - there could be only one wire to the horn - splice into it and your done. The horn is normally grounded to the body work.
Congrats on the horn purchase!
The tapping into the stock horn wire question comes up a lot so I finally made a how-to:

Okay great! And nice tutorial as well!
I’ll probably have more questions once I get the kit, you guys have been a ton of help!
I can’t wait it’s going to be a BLAST!
Hey guys I’m going to post up another picture… I was trying to find more spots to mount them if I couldn’t in My origional spot.
There’s an open space right beside where the exhaust pipe welds to the muffler, looks to be nothing there… Just some heat reduction foil or whatever it’s called… Id just hate to mount it and there be something important above it. Lemme know what you guys think. Pic coming in like 20-30 mins
Thanks!
the heat shield is there i guess, but i dont know if im able to drill into that to mount the horns if other spot decides not to work.
Also, how would you guys suggest running the power wire to the stock horn ? I checked and i have no hole near the pedals running into the engine bay…so how would i get the wire from my trunk into the front bumper?
Is there an easier spot to tap into?
Thanks again, i know its a lot of questions but im wanting to make sure i know everything by the time they arrive!
The heat shields can be kind of flimsy, but you’ll have to judge how heavy the horns are when you get em. Make sure you don’t drill into something behind it like your gas tank.
Somewhere there’s a big harness that goes through the firewall or fenderwell. There should be a big ol grommet that you can stuff a couple more wires through. Just use a new grommet if you have to drill a new hole.
Yeah that’s what I was worried about hsha. Drilling through something like my gas tank on accident.
I didn’t see a hole going through the drivers side footwell. I’ll check passengers side. Is it possible to tap into the horn wire in the dash rather than right where it begins at the horns?
Yeah, it’s just not as obvious which is the right wire. Maybe find the wire at the horn so you know what color to look for under the dash.
