I installed a single audi horn plus a single "Megha" horn (brought back from India, used on the Ambassador). The combo is relayed (stock horns are not). It makes quite an obnoxious noise. Prior to that I had a Hella air horn, twin trumpet and compressor. I really liked that sound but the trumpet parts finally wore out. I think a good air horn set up is the best solution. Relay it and provide good power source, the compressor draws a fair bit of amps.

Many years ago, I switched to the relay power approach and added a set of dual horns from an Audi 5000T. Had to remove them to get the external oil cooler anyway. Much more sophisticated tone. I had previously "adjusted" the tone on my '67 bus, then the '78, but there was a submarine klaxon quality to the sound. This time I wanted something more refined. Several years ago, Alistair Bell and I exchanged notes about the Audi horn and I believe he has done something similar.
