Wolo 519 Air Horn Mount
I hadn't seen one mounted like this when I searched a while back; finally got around to mounting it this week(inspection is due!). Just had to fab a little bracket out of some aluminum bar stock. I was able to wire into the factory horn button extremely easily with a generic air horn install kit picked up from Advance Auto but I am sure is available at any parts store.
I am really happy with the results; the sound projects well and it looks great IMO.

Nice job tucking it in there... I wanted to get mine up near where the factory horns were like that but couldn't make it work.

That looks very nice... any new chrome is a good thing! The wife says the stock horns are sissys.... Actually she uses another word that I wont say here....

Here's where I put mine in the same place as the factory horn.

Factory horn location for mine was between the motor and radiator up near the neck of the frame...my ignition is where your horn is.

I drive a Legacy... and the horns were nice & loud so I looked for them in particular. They are almost identical in size to the OEM's, which helped with fitting them in there. I used one of the two sets of wires to the old horns to trigger the relay, and later mounted one of the OEM horns (the deeper tone one) at the top of the radiator in front using the other set of wires. I now have 3 horns for the wiring of 2, with the added advantage of having an OEM horn still wired in should the relay cease working for any reason. Loud enough for my purposes, and always scares the pants off the tech at the vehicle testing station at it's 6 monthly check required down here.
