Kind of a custom modification because of the space the stock horn(s) are in. Grab a pair of horns off an F-150 at the jy and pull one of the red/green stripe wires from behind each headlight to wire it in.

Chevy Astro. Any model. They are a high/low matched set and are easy to get off the astro, located just behind the plastic front grill. But like Rog said, a bit harder to install them (or any other horn for that matter) onto the festiva because of the location. I usually pull the bumper. Takes about the same amount of time as trying to wiggle horns and bolts in and out, and it is much much easier and less painful on my hands.

Put this one in the back of your Festiva. I'll supply the ear protectors.

I bought an "ooga" horn from Harbor Freight. Hooked it up to the positive and grounded it onto the body...mounted it behind the headlight in front of the air intake. Sounds great! Only $10 and some wires! But I have an aspire, not sure how much room you have in your festivas!

Eh, last time I got a spare horn, I took the wiring off of the stock horn, re-routed, bolted the horn to the firewall. Makes it easy to swap in a new/different horn, too. I got a bunch of 70's GM JY horns and swap them out from time to time.

When I installed my Wolo horns I used the stock wiring and added some length to the wires and installed both the horns in my passenger fender.

I put a pair of unknown stock horns in my car and they worked once and no more. Dunno if its fuse or bad ground but I've found an air horn with a tank. Just trying to figure out where to mount it and plumb in a compressor.

My neighbors have genuine train horns on their trucks. Would love to hide one under my car but they're HUGE!!! But it would be awfully funny in traffic.

GM horns are always loud and proud, great bang for your buck at the JY.

I have a beep beep reverse alarm that i have not wired in. The reaction of that little thing is great. Imagine parking between two excursions or two large trucks that do have them like power or telephone company trucks, hear the beep and a festiva squirts out...::wave::

The local junk yard outside Detroit kept a big bin full of assorted horns right in the front office.
Careful with the train horn, a lot of noise sensitive folks with no sense of humor are packing heat now days.

I used one of the free bolt holes on the passenger side fender to install a replacement horn in the engine compartment and pulled the oringinal wire up from behind the bumper for current. The horn is grounded on the fender.

make sure to try and point your horns so dirt and junk doesnt go inside. often they get weak sounding because stuff doesn't let it vibrate and do its thing. ive been deafened by shaking them and all of a sudden they go from loud to oh great that's what a lifetime of iron maiden backstage does to you

The loudest stock horns are the Cadillac 4 note horns. It consists of 4 horns so packaging may be an issue. I have them installed on one of my Eagles and they are quite loud. I paid about $15 from the junkyard. I plan on installing some on my Festiva some day.

I like that Eaglefreek. Might have to do something like that in my Eagle!
