Is it weird to equate the size/loudness of a horn to the level of danger a vehicle presents? A prius is only dangerous to a bike or pedestrian, therefore only needs a small beep. A semi presents quite a bit more danger, plus takes longer to stop, therefore a louder or bigger horn required. A train is even bigger... and a ocean liner, well you get the picture. I've got a 26' 14k hunk of metal moving at 70mph down the freeway. It will turn your little econobox into a street pizza without too much effort. Almost had it happen when I had my trailer... 7klb ford van + 27' 9klb trailer 70mph on freeway, miata cut me off, just because he didn't want to be behind me. Little squeeky horn won't get much attention in that situation. I don't blame him for not wanting to be behind me, but I don't want to damage my front sway bar by driving over his little go cart either. Still trying to find a good balance. Wouldn't mind a Cadillac set of horns, but that takes 4 horns plus more rewire. Already have too much stuff hooked directly to the battery, it's a mess there now.
