Replacing the stock horn

My wife hates the stock horn. She says it is "too nice" and wants something with a little more authority. Has anyone replaced the stock horn? If so, what model did you buy/where did you get it?

I never replaced a stock horn before and I can't imagine how to choose one!

I went to autozone and bought an old "AHOOGA" horn. Sounds neat with the retro look. Wonder if we can post .wav files.....

It is so funny to watch people faces when the horn goes off.
Great retro sound to it.

here is a video of a Walk around of Shaggy and the horn sounding is at the 22 second mark on the video.

the video is older so alot of mods had not been done yet

I added airhorns via a relay and hooked them all up to a second horn button. So now I have two independant horns-quiet and loud. By honking them together, I can sound like a traffic jam and scare the heck out of the car in front of me that is napping when the light turns green
