Installed some Hella Supertones on my Protege today. Install was pretty easy. Hardest part was trying to make the wiring look decent- and I think I failed at that.

I haven't actually road tested the new horn(s), but in the garage, it's deafening.

Because of my transmission cooler, I couldn't put one on each side of the grill opening like I would have wanted. But I think this works just as well.

Here's a video comparison too:

Looks like it was a pretty easy install. Do you think the install would be the same on any car...thinking about using them in my Miata and my 8...

The wiring should be the same. Mounting will vary with each car, but you should be able to figure something out.
