Where to put this?
After removing the stock bumper and installing the quarter pounder, I need to find a new spot for the extra horn.
Secondary horn relocation ideas?

Yup. That's the one. I only have half the sound with the one remaining. Almost embarrassing to use it -lol-

I'm not sure about US versions, but in the UAE the JKs come with the European style stock front bumper. The extra horn was attached to it, so I had to take it off.

Ah!! Totally makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation! On the US models one horn is attached to the core support (drivers side next to the radiator), and the second horn is mounted to a bracket attached to the power brake booster. Wondering if you can do the same on your JK?

Also, looks like their Vacuum pump is already located next to the booster because of the different bumper. This is where I located my VP and I lost my horn there...

Good to know. These old eyes of mine missed that... Looks like relocating the second horn will be a bit challenging. :crazyeyes:

LOL - thats why I had one to take a photo of for the "guess what Jeep part this is" thread! It shouldn't be too hard to fab up some kind of bracket to move it somewhere.
I just never took the time to do it.

If you run the ARB Twin compressor with the M.O.R.E. under hood mount you will run into the same problem (at least I did on my '13). I needed to remove the horn by the brake booster.
I was considering just replacing the remaining horn with an upgrade. Maybe an air horn! I can be THAT guy.

Not sure this will help but....
I remove the horn and took off the mounting bracket and reattached the bracket backwards so that the horn could be mounted at an angle. I attached it to the ARB mount but there are several places to fasten it securely.

Here are some pics of my 2015. Mounting it between the brake master cylinder and fender won't work due to the vacuum pump.
I would make a bracket and mount it between the ECU and anti-lock brake motor. There is a ground wire stud on the fender you can use to mount the bracket. All you would need to do is extend the power wire.
You can see the ground wire stud at the bottom of this pic.
Here's a pic of the horn mounted to the core support.

Thanks for all the input. Decided to mount it on one of the studs of the firewall. I reused the original bracket (slightly modified with a BFH...) Now I just have to run the wires up there.

With a couple washers to even it out and a couple zerks I mounted my new horn right behind the grill in the center of the radiator. I'll post a pic tomorrow in the daylight.

Wires all done. Sound is so much better again!

That's a good place for the horn. Thanks for the idea. Can't wait to get mine back on - only one horn sounds really awful!
