What I did on my 84 Westy was install the high-tone and low-tone horns
commonly used on a Karmann Ghia or the 411/412.  Pretty darn loud compared
to the original wimpy horn installed.  Dunno about respect, but other
drivers can HEAR me now.

Although the 411/412 didn't use a relay, the Ghia setup originally and I
consulted the Beetle/Ghia Bentley to correctly wire it up.  Works nice.  I
think 4 horns would be overkill IMHO.
