Which novelty horns have/do you use in your JL?
Where did/would you mount the speaker?

Here are my current top choices.
> https://thesonichorn.com/en-us/products/the-sonic-horn
> https://www.boomblasters.com/product/big-bubba-programmable-4-sounds-wireless-car-horn/
Both are operated via a key fob, and powered by the Jeep's battery.
Both hold four (changeable) sound files via USB drag-and-drop.
Both have weird "dangling" USB cords, but I could zip and/or tape them against the speakers.
The Big Bubba is not waterproof, which is concerning.
The Sonic Horn looks very large and bulky.

Random info:
The JL is my daily driver + I also take it offroading -- aim for monthly, but ... life
I drive it in/to parades and events a few times each year
I'm looking at these horns because my kids saw/heard a barking Jeep at an event and loved it
This will not replace the real horn, it'll just be a fun toy to use occasionally



I think I saw a nice size gap here, but haven't checked if it's a viable option:
Jeep Wrangler JL Novelty Horns 1742263092218-o8


The tailgate door has a bunch of open space, and I know there's emptiness near the taillights, but those both seem to be awkward locations in terms of sound and wiring.

My dad had a musical horn installed in our station wagon so that he could embarrass us when he dropped off/picked up from school. Having no friends kept us humble and built character....he said.

I am very sorry for triggering this traumatic memory! 😂

It truly does sound horrible, though

I keep telling myself I don't need train horns hooked up to the air compressor, but man it would be fun to let it rip behind someone on their phone. I may give in at some point.

I had considered the donkey horn at one time, kind of funny. @ 28 sec 👇
