Default Car horns on a 3dr cossie

Got a bit of a problem with the car horns on our 3dr, instead of sounding like they should they are a bit dull sounding like they are covered up, ive checked them & there is nothing blocking them even tried another set but still the same, as anybody else had the same problem

They do knacker up after a while, go out of tune, some have a screw on them so you can retune.
Check the supply(volts) and earth and if ok then it is the horns, I fitted two NATILUS HORNS(from wilco) to my sapphy, bloody loud, one each side.
These are a twin air horn in a compact size, so now have twin air horns each side, thye are LOUD LOUD, about £20 each, you will just have to make up a simple wire extension for the earth that's all, twist the bracket in a vice through 90 degrees and they go straight on.

If there is no earth wire(brown) then it must be earthed through the body/horn bracket.
