I have installed for 4 note horn system made my Delco-Remy on two of our 940s. I'll get the rest of the fleet upgraded later. The horns are loud and the sound is similar, in tone, to the horns found on trains. These horns were found on Buicks and Cadillacs. The four horns have notes A, C, D, and F. Delco-Remy came up with the 4 note horn system about 1954, and was an option on Buick and Cadillac for many years. I get the four horns at a self serve wrecking yard and add a relay to power them. Power comes from the battery or alternator and is fused. Do an ebay search under 4 note horn.

For two used horns, get the A and F tone horns used on many GM cars. They sound okay, but nothing like the four horn system.

If you want to buy two new horns, get a pair of Hella horns. You can find them on ebay. Don't get two horns of the same frequency.
