As a former Beetle(s) owner, that rings a bell.

So if I had 2 Vanagon horns, would it be possible to have that classic "meep" in major thirds? Or will tuning the horns that far off the factory preset cause one or both to emit a "frap", "ezeeeeek" or worse? IIRC, tuning it too far renders it the level of simple noise maker (or worse) similar to the seat belt buzzer relay and I don't want THAT. ;)

I may even have a spare horn I could add. But then I may have to upsize the wiring for the added load. Anyhow...

Thanks for that reminder.

Neil.
