evident this race both matt and I need to step up our horn game
i doubt that all components of this are IP67 rated as the pictures show. wonder how it would hold up just using the push button features

Just get one that is actually sealed.
100w is probably enough. The first non-sealed unit I got was 200w and was almost painfully loud. It seriously felt funny.
what I run now:

First thing I bought, and returned:

correct, it's just the amplifier. The second link (NLA I guess) is the 100w speaker I bought.
One of us has a 100w speaker from Mark. You're welcome to it. I'll set it aside if I come across it in the Ranger tonight.

fixed above. I guess I missed a 'copy' last night. like I said, it's showing NLA. not sure if they are all created equal.

right now, I don't have anything hooked up except the horn function to one of the sealed push buttons.
I have dreams of PA function wired to intercom for announcing car number at mud race checkpoints, and of piping radio audio to it when running pit support. Just need to wire it up. Low priority but as of now it's a GREAT horn

We need something louder as well. We couldn't hear our own horn with visors open during the race.
Space is a huge concern in the LJ.
