djfahr11 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 One of the trumpets on my horn is hitting the wrong note. I've made sure the tube is straight and everything. It is the largest horn. It just sounds aweful, any ideas? Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 Howdy there. I'm no mechanical expert, but I happen to have the JC Whitney dixie horn in my own car. No problems with mine, though of course the compression gets low and the horn slows down if ya play with it too much. Works best when the engine is running and it's good and charged up.Anyhoo - sounds like you could have a short in the horn. If this is a brand new kit, it's possible you have a defective one. I'd suggest making sure the horn is clean and free from debris. If you have the horns pointing up, near the grill, it's possible that moisture can get inside the horns and raise havoc. If you've checked all the basics, and there's no cause found for the sour note - I'd recommend returning the horn for an exchange. Brian Quote
djfahr11 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Posted October 14, 2004 Yea, it's a brand new kit, I just put it in there yesterday. I e-mailed the tech support at Wolo to see if they have any ideas. The horn is clean and everything. So I guess we'll see. Quote
djfahr11 Posted October 16, 2004 Author Report Posted October 16, 2004 So they write back, and want me to send it to them in NY with a $5 check for them to look at it. I think I'm gonna take a little bit more time to see if I can figure it out before I go sending it out. Quote
