Use your stock location and "double up" the horns.
For wiring, splice a parallel path from your OEM horn.

AP2's have dual tone horns on the inner fender and radiator support.

The AP1 horn is on the radiator support. Its a single tone horn. Buy a low frequency horn to support your high tone factory horn.

I have a 2001 AP1. I want to upgrade the horn to something like what the 2004+ horn sounds like. Thanks
The horn kit from hardtopguy sounds promising as another user mentioned.

Coming from the Subaru community, Hella Supertones were on almost EVERYONES car at some point. Nice and loud.

I kinda like the AP2 horn (2009). It sounds just like the horns from the nicer cars I rent/drive in Europe. Very "sport car" like. Of course in America you need something from Peterbuilt.

Had the bumper off this past weekend to install the new OEM headlights and decided to replace the OEM horns since I would have easy access to the lower horn. Not sure if this is already known; however, I was able to locate a Hella duel horn duel tone set on Amazon with Honda specific plugs. This made it truly plug and play … cost was only $19 with prime. Only item I reused from the OEM horns was the mounting tab since the OEM tab was slightly shorter and made for better spacing. Hope this helps … great little mod.

Here is the part if interested -

The Nathan K5LA (as used on Amtrak locomotives) will get everyone's attention. There's room for the 5 gallon air compressor in the trunk.
