I have waited almost a year for these ever since I started to see them on impreza's over this side of the pond.

Here comes the tricky bit. I have searched, but I cannot find any decent thread detailing how you fit/wire these up. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Darren

Gotta be a "how to" on supertones on the NASIOC mate?

Thats what I was thinking. I am so excited :lol1:

But NASIOC forum is down at the minute?

horns lmao

are they inbetween normal car horns and the ridiculously cool train horns as per fitted to nate's car:norty:

how much if you dont mind me asking darren:wonder: imported from u.s.?

They were USD $86 or £44 all in.
I ordered them on the 21st July, so 10 days from door to door across the pond was not bad, I don't think.

Before I ordered them I emailed him and we arranged for me to pay for the horns through paypal, without going through ebay. The seller name is on the brown box ;)

One thing scoobs need is a decent horn :D I remember hearing about your horn after the royal standard meet :lol1:

I guess they are easy to fit?

I still remember that night like it was only yesterday....My dad is in front of me and i toot my horn first and then I hear a raw of laughter and then my dad toots his horn making mine sound like a noddy horn.

Easy fit. not sure and I am trying to find a decent how do guide. the scoobymods one is vague to say the least.

I've had a set sat in the garage for about a year now, must get round to fitting them, but can't work out how to get them symetrical. Problem is the power steering cooling pipe is in the way.

Nice one Darren.....

will they be as loud as my Piaa sports horns??

Andy

Look what i found :D

Thanks to CVD on NASIOC :D

Supplies Needed:
1. Electrical Tape or Shrink Tube
2. Wire strippers
3. 14G Wire
4. 14G Male Connectors
5. 14G Female Connector
6. 20 AMP In-Line Fuse Terminal
7. 20 AMP Fuse
8. Zip Ties
9. Sime Wire Loom (if you want)
10. Small nuts, bolts & washers
11. 14G In-Line Wire Connectors
12. Vampire Clips

Tools Needed:
1. Screwdrivers
2. Wrenches (for small nuts and bolts)
3. 10mm Wrench
4. Wire Strippers
5. Pliers

What to do:

1. Remove the front grill. And figure out how you're going to mount the horns. I used two existing holes in the radiator support that centered both horns between the side of the grill and the Subaru emblem (see pictures).

2. Disconnect one of the factory horns (or both if you desire). Don't cut the connectors, you will need to use one of them later.

3. Look at the relay that came with the horns. The terminals are numbered, this is what those numbers mean:
87 - (+) Lead for the supertones.
86 - Where the stock horn wire conects.
85 - Relay ground wire.
30 - (+) Power wire, connects to the battery with a fuse.

4. Figure out where you want the relay, because that's going to decide on how you run the wires. Once you have that figured out ...

5. Use your 14G wire to make a harness for the #87 to go to the horns. I ran one 14G wire to one horn, then spliced the second horn with a vampire clip. At all three ends, I used 14G female connectors.

6. Take some 14G wire and crimp a 14G male connector on it. Plug this into one of your disconnected factory horn wires. Then put a female connector on the other end and plug it into terminal #86 on the relay.

7. Find a suitable ground and wire up #85 on the relay. I used a stock ground location next to the batery (see pictures).

8. Now, you need to ground the horns. I ran the ground to the passenger side ground location (see pics). I also made the exact same kind of wiring harness for the ground wire as I did with the (+) lead from the relay.

9. Last is making the connection to the battery. I used a ring terminal and conencted it right to the battery and ran the wire through the protective cover for a clean look. This is where you need to use a 20A fuse terminal.

10. Install your fuse into the fuse terminal and test your horns.

Some things to note:
1. On the horns, the copper connection is (+) to the relay. The silver connecion is (-) to the ground.
2. These mofo's are LOUD.
3. Safedrives kicks ass. Thanks Charles! Buy your supertones there!

'Wiring Harness' - I made two of these, one for (+) and one for (-) to the horns: Note that the vampire clip is not taped/shring wrapped yet. Make sure you wrap or tape it.

Enjoy! Let me know if I misstated anything, I just did the install, so it should all be accurate.

Only problem is that there is an PS cooler in the way of the off-side mounting position on a bugeye, not sure if the blob has the same problem:confused:

This there is useless with out a sound or video file lol :)

they look the bizzzz

is there any you can get local that look the same

cheers phil

can the red bit be removed and sprayed as my car is blue ???

I found them in the UK, but it was about £20 cheaper to import them.

Ah so thats what they are lol
Always wondered what the red hoops were in the grill.
Looks good.

Cheers Frayz for that. I found that thread to and it going to me the way I install mine. But as my OE horns have two spade connectors on each and the car already has a relay, can't I just disconnect the old horns and connect the new ones?

For some reason yesterday, the forum home page would not load, but the threads would if you had a direct link to them.

We will have to wait and see tomorrow. I will try and endeavor to fit these before and after the F1 GP. I am not the most confident of auto electricians.

Yes, you can remove the red bit as it is just screwed on.

Here you go mate..

location for the relay.

coool,
always thought they were some sort of performance mod when i 1st saw these on an american site.... now i know
wiley

Darms, thank you very much for those pictures. I have decided to mount the relay on the oem horn bracket once I have removed the horn which I think is just screwed into that bracket.

The only real problem is placing the horns. The N/S is fine, but the o/s (drivers side) is a little tricker because of the bonnet release cable and also spacing the horns back further to miss the grill. Have you got a couple of pictures with the grill off by any chance?

Darren

just wondering if anyone is going to set up a group buy if so put me name down 4 a set

lol... I've been considering these too.... or maybe even a Sebel Nautilus Air horn...:D

Darren,

You're more than welcome to come and see how I've done mine. You're only 2mins down the road from me.

Rob.
