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. |

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: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DINKPQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 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. |
