Customize your honkin' horn with Horntones
Adding a really loud, powerful horn to a very small car has been causing fits of laughter for a while now... but if that is too passe' for you, why not consider the Hornstones FX-550? First seen at CES, this device allows you to play almost any audio file that can be transferred via USB as your honk. The FX-550 can store eight songs or audio files at a time. We can think of a few good songs for specific cars, like "Little GTO" in your classic Pontiac, "409", "Little Deuce Coupe"... the list goes on and on. Or, how about "Rollin" (language) by Limp Bizkit, or Tupac's "Picture Me Rollin" (language)? It boggles the mind. And then there are the "road rage" set who will just record their own voice screaming obscenities -- maybe this isn't such a good idea.

You know a bunch of people are going to rip off the Dukes of Hazzard tone (Dixie)

Wow. My brother got a similar device in 1984, obviously far more rudimentary though. It had about 100 awful renditions of tunes. Dixie was on there and was very popular.

The Dixie horn is only good for a 69 Charger. Nothing else

Yes James, your absolutely right (Not) seeing as that any one can put that horn in any car they desire and it will be ok

I seem to remember "La Cucaracha" being very popular back in the late '70's, too.

Yea, I am the jerk, your the one swearing and using lil name tricks, anyway, who decides what will work and what won't, that is a personal choice and if a person decides it works and they are happy with it, good for them

Doesn't this strike as dangerous to a certain extent? In a moment when you really need the horn, you find yourself with Limp Biscuit :)

The only horn I want is the hornblasters train horn. That horn kicks ass.

These are illegal in most places in the Northeast. People just get them anyway and then probably 90% of them forget to disconnect it for inspection.
