12 volt horn for 6 volt system

#1

Post by Scrap »

I like the look of the jubilee horn on my 57 FL but I can no longer adjust it to much more than a weak bleat. I bought a Digiten 6 volt to 12 volt converter ($30.00 from Amazon). It works so that's an unexpected surprise. I'm trying to avoid an air horn due to size of the compressor. Any recommendations for a really LOUD horn? The converter is rated 12 volts @ 10 amps.
Thanks,
Sam's
