Didn't have room on my Boom Vader for a dual horn setup, but this single one is working great for me. I can be heard much better when I remember to use it.

Wow this is super cheap, just added it to my wish list. Anything would be better than meep-meeping like the Roadrunner, and I love how there's a photo in the description that depicts it shattering a wine glass.

Just note, that while I'm sure they'll work, the won't be anywhere close to half of the 300dB (or incorrectly, BD as they put it) that the listing says.

185dB sound pressure levels or higher can and do cause damage to internal organs and death.

Actual Locomotive train horns are only 110-150dB.

I use this one:

Which is one of the few I've ever seen that is actually close to or matches the dB rating it claims to be.

And it is indeed very frickin loud.

Oh of course, I would never assume a $10 thingy would get near 300dB, I used to work in audio so I have a pretty good idea. But yours is still only $15, and the fact that it's called a "freeway blaster" might have also sold me.
