Need a LOUD horn...........

2011 F150, looking to replace the factory electric horns with something LOUD.
Would like to stay with electric. I have air horns off of my Super Duty but not in the mood to mount compressors....etc. Any ideas?

I've got 2 PIAA Sports Horns in my truck for years now, mounted in the stock location. Not as loud as air horns but much improved over stock.

Not that it matters but I think you do have to be careful legally with some horns.

I would like to replace my whimpy factory horns on my 2009 as well.
Although the big train horns etc are loud, I just dont see the point of spending that much money and the effort to install them.

I was wondering if anyone has louder non-air type horns like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Wolo-125-Domin.../dp/B0012ILZAS
These are 116 decibels. These are straight replacements for the factory ones, no compressor required.

Does anyone know what the decibel rating for the factory ones are? It would be good to know before getting replacements.

Any other ideas anyone?? thanks

Just received the Dominators and installed a few minutes ago, yes, they are loud. Easy install with factory bracket.
