Mine did that but the ground ended up being damaged. We had a crx with a semi truck air horn ran with a 5gal. air tank that everyone was daring me to put into my 1g for a quick fix.

Some horns are just weak sounding. I like the idea of the "Dixie" horn. Good luck.

Has anyone tried adjusting the horn? Most horns are adjustable. If not I am gonna look and see if ours is and let everyone know how. It is just a bolt or screw normally.

If you really want some horn power, go to hornblasters.com
I got the conductor's special for my 92 Tsi and later got my girlfriend the same thing for her 98 GSX 6-bolt just with a smaller tank/compressor combo. Only problem is now her's is louder than mine because of the junk fittings I had to install mine with. I have since sold the car and kept the horns, I am thinking of throwing them on my 4g63 Elantra to scare people even more.

92 Tsi: This was my first install and I just wanted to get them in so I didn't plan anything.
PICS HERE




98 GSX 6 bolt: This one I planned for a while, spent a whole day welding the bracket and getting them to fit just right.
PICS HERE




Also, here is a link to the hornblasters install gallery, both cars can be seen there as well.

However, be aware that you usually can't hear the stock horn anyway.

My horn started to sound like a duck as well, I took the horn behind the battery(for the alarm) and used it as my regular horn, the plugs are the same any everything.
