What's with the dislikes? Straight to the point and informative video to help you decide. What's not to like??
Thank you for posting this!
Thank you.
It’s the Internet. You could post a picture of the cutest dog in the world and someone would complain. 😂
Didn't read the description. Prolly cause it don't show up on mobile les you click more
Thank you for reviewing these horns.. definitely helped me and other people out, and changed my mind about which horns I was prepared to buy. Apparently the vast majority of dislikes is from people with a vested interest in the Supertones (owners, sellers, Europeans). As Cartman would say: "Screw you guys I'm going home"... to Hella Twin Trumpet horns.
Yrah the super tones still have the roadrunner beep beep sound just louder. Im gettin the twintones
I remember pulling horns from an old Cadillac and put them in my 70 Chevelle, three tones full chord sounded great
Sky1 Yeah, they don’t make factory horns like they used to.
Thanks for postings this useful & concise Hella horn comparison!
You sir just changed my mind on which horns I'll be ordering for mine and my wife's Hyundai's
Super helpful video. Thank you!
Twin trumpet all the way !
Excellent video! Nothing except what we need!
Good review, I just ordered the twin trumpet horns to replace the meep, meep horns on my 2011 civic. The meep, meep just don't cut it for loudness.
Same dude, got run off the road by a semi the other day. Finally getting louder horns.
Very helpful, thanks for posting!!! I see why you went with the trumpets
I bought the Trumpet horns, they are much louder, have two tones and well, they sound much better. I've used them before, so while the "super tones" might look cool on a more modern car, they just don't really deliver.
I completely agree!
IMHO, Supertones are way better. I have them on all 4 of my cars and on two previous ones. The German high pitch truly wakes up distracted drivers! 👌🏼👌🏼
The twin trumpet horns sound a lot like American car horns, which are the best.
They are the best because they don't have the wimpy beep-beep sound of Asian and European car horns.
Car horns are not about sounding polite. The are about being a loud, brash, warning that is impossible to ignore.
Euro and Asian horns fail miserably in that respect.
I'd give my left nut for new production horns that sound and last like old American car horns.
fortj3 I guess my Jeep was built with Asian horns then.
Most European made cars are trumpit, European sound but of course there's a mixture of everything everywhere prefer the meatiness of the dual trumpets myself
German cars dont have a beep beep Sound! Only the european car Manufakturs where cant build cars have this beep beep sound...
Maybe because in Asia they use horns to communicate in a more courtesy way. In America horns are used to tell other people that they are idiots and they should fuck off.
@@SneakerRant well, actually here in Indonesia. We prefer the trumpet horns rather than the wimpy beep-beep horns from the factory. Some of the cars in here use trumpet horns because they sound better
This was very informative..helped me make my decision. Thanks!
nice presentation. why so many dislikes?
Hey, I'm wondering if you used the included relay with your twin trumpet installs, or do you plug straight into the factory harness? Thanks!
I’ve done both actually and I can’t tell a difference in the sound.
@@NovaResource thanks for the reply! I just bought these last week because of your video comparison, so I really appreciate it. I just wired mine to the stock wiring, and they sound fine. I’m only concerned now because I’m reading things about possible damage to the horn circuit due to increased power draw…
@@gpereir4 In the 6 years since I made that video, I haven’t had any problems. I believe I used a relay harness on 3 cars and wired them directly on 4
@@NovaResource Thats awesome. Really appreciate the info. Happy new year!
The Sharptones are lower frequency than the Supertones, and sound more like stock, but louder.
The sharptones aren't in this video...
Yes, but the uploader said he didn't care for the Supertones because of their higher frequency, so I was pointing out that the Sharptones have a lower frequency, and they might be more to his liking.
OpiateX To be honest, while I prefer the sound of the sharp tones over the super tones, the sharp tones sound higher pitched to my ear.
Anyway, I dislike the cheap buzzing sound of both of them and think the trumpets are far superior.
i actually like them both
Y not both hmm?
Glad i didnt get supertones
The twin sound good , does it easy to hook up , I’m looking to replace my Hyundai Veracruz .
thehegt Tr Yes, very easy to hook up. See some of my other videos for more info about the install.
I bought the twin trumpets the supertones and also the sharp tone but the best one is definitely the twin trumpet sending the other ones back now
So my Audi uses Twin Trumpets horn cuz it fits the car
Well you talked me out of a supertone horn purchase because I purchased and installed the twin trumpets many years ago and they were just useless - about 1/5 as loud as the generic aftermarket I had put in and a lot less even than factory.
So as supertone sounds even more quiet I'll pass.
Did you put a relay so they were powered correctly?
Trumpet horns all the way. Supertones sound like a sparrow
Disk horns are high pitch sound horns, while trumpet or snail horns are more on base sound. You should try Bosh Europa
I like the twin trumpet
Me too
I put a set of the Twin Trumpet on my Ford Transit as the standard "beep beep" single tone horn sounded pathetic. Well pleased with the sound of the Hella Twins but now one has quit working.......after just two years so am not very pleased.
Bulletguy07 How were they mounted? If they face forward or up, water can get inside and short them out. Always mount them facing downward or to the side to keep water out.
Down....in front of the radiator behind the outer grille panel.
Bulletguy07 Bummer. Might just be a fluke. I’ve have good luck with Hella Horns. Installed on 7 different cars.
I think (not 100% certain), damp/condensation may be the issue as winter weather here has been pretty bad so might try a squirt of contact spray or something. I can't see any other reason for it suddenly failing. Both horns were working the day before as i remembered using them....one day later and one horn had failed.
any luck getting it to work or its surely dead?
i just bought the supertone everyone seemed to got a kit with theirs anjd i got just the horns only. that just sucks.
The neighbors hate you.
😄
That's hella good
i like trumps horn
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP
The 2nd one is good, but go bigger.
the problem is with some vehicles a 2008 Honda CR-V i replaced the horns is there is not alot of space to mount the trumpet style horns as i got FIamm Freeway blasters for it similar to Hella as its was bending the brackets to position them so they won't hit the grille, brackets and the AC condenser. the twin Hella Supertone WILL NOT fit in 2007-2016 Honda CR-v and they don't sound approiate for some vehicles as i have the Supertones in my 1968 VW Beetle and they are german made more approiate for this vehicles the new Supertones are made in india i think some are made in China. as i like the trumpet style horns better and are more approiate in sound for late model and larger vehicles. medium duty trucks and busses. as Hella is OE to Volkswagen and the modern watercooled volkswagen use trumpet horns by bosch or Hella, for the main horn and some have a seperate alarm horn a disc horn by Hella as its located in the cowl where the wiper linkages are in the vehicle. as VW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, and many other euro models use Hella as OE for lights and horns as well as cooling system ans other componets.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What if you used both
MegaBolens LOL. I guess I could but it would be way overkill.
Super tones sound like moped horns
Very good video. But what you are hearing is the same horn. Just one has the "horn" (the spiral shape) but both have the same diaphragm. If you don't believe it, watch this vid: th-cam.com/video/adD5oC2asXI/w-d-xo.html
Went from sounding like an import to a domestic car. Hmmm
Conduct give a way of those horn
Come straight to the point
In the description and pinned to the top of the comments section I tell people to jump to the 2:27 mark to hear the comparison. Maybe you missed both of those.
Sss
Supertones sound way better. You made your Kia sound like a truck. If you were going to do that, you might have well gone all the way and got some train horns.
Now the question is Hella Trumpets or Hella SharpTones?
Very informative. Thanks for sharing!
