New Horns and Subs

I took the opportunity of the holiday yesterday and we have gone to Banawe to replace the stock horn of my Face-Lifted Kia Picanto. I found the stock horn was not that loud and has been ignored all the time. I planned to get the loudest Mitsuba horn priced at P2500.00 but my wife advised me not to get it. The mitsuba horn was too loud for her and it may also penetrate inside our kia picanto so I choose from the different brands and models available. Upon testing the different horns I came up buying the Stebel Magnum. The sound of stebel magnum was not that loud compare to mitsuba but it will suffice what I want: the honking will be noticeable and much louder than the stock.

The installation of the new horn requires removing the front bumper. The original horn was placed in the middle part of the bumper and it was only a single piece. The Stebel magnum came in pair, one for high and the other for low honk. The pair of horns was placed on the driver side just below the headlight.



The horn that I have bought was only priced at P599.00 + P300.oo for the installation and it left me a budget that I can add in buying a subwoofer. I've been eyeing for the NBN Compact Amplified Subwoofer for it will fit perfectly just below the seats. I have no plan of getting a much bigger amplifier for it may used up the trunk space available. The trunk space of the kia picanto is not that big so getting a larger subwoofer was out of my list.





I have tested the nbn subs and the bass it reproduced was fine for me. It came also with a single tweeter and volume control for both the subs and the tweeter. I ask the installer to place the subs below the passenger seat and have it adjusted on my preferred setting. Some tweaking on the headunit's equalizer is needed for a better sound output.
