Denali SoundBomb™ Mini Electromagnetic Low Tone Horn 113dB Motorcycle Horn

Product Information

For best results, the Denali horn should really be mounted so that the dual trumpets point forward, not to the side. This complicates the process of finding a suitable mounting position, because it means the widest part of the horn must face forward.

We wanted to locate the horn far enough away from the exhaust but as close as possible to the engine. This wouldn’t work on the right side of the F 800 S, due to the exhaust location. The two of us spent quite a bit of time trying to find a good location to mount the Soundbomb horn on the BMW F 800 S. We tried to mount the horn behind the fairing and also in front of the exhaust pipes, on the side of the engine and even towards the rear, but nothing worked.Fitment Note: Add our BMW wiring adapter ( DNL.WHS.10100) for plug & play installation to BMW motorcycles.

Twisted Throttle also sells a wiring harness for it and various length/configuration coated steel attachment parts. I acquired all the kit I needed from TT, and the install went smoothly. Lexus GX470 featuring DENALI D7 LED Driving Lights, SoundBomb horn, and DialDim Universal Controller But, using the Extech dB meter, we measured 118 dB at three feet for the Soundbomb, a good showing. The horn won’t fit behind the exhaust and you don’t want to get these plastic horns near the exhaust anyway (as we learned to our chagrin). All of the Nautilus horns were mounted using a high-quality relay harness and each horn failed almost immediately. You can hear the sound of a dead Nautilus in the linked .mp3 sound file library below.In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the Soundbomb is made by Stebel or by ex-Stebel designers.

At 113 decibels, the distinct low-tone sound from the DENALI SoundBomb Mini is over twice as loud as a typical 100 decibel disc horn. The first failed due to our fault — some melting damage due to our mounting experiments, while the second failed after the third short beep, just like the other Nautilus horns we have tried over the years.A high-value alternative, one that’s really handy when space is absolutely at a premium, is the DENALI SoundBomb Mini Low-Tone Horn. Far more powerful than horns on most powersports vehicles, the SoundBomb Mini sill puts out 113 decibels of attention-getting sound but fits into a space less than 3.5 inches square and 2.5 inches deep. Moreover, the Mini is quite power efficient, meaning that many vehicles can handle the needed 5-amp load without needing an external power relay. And if that’s not the case for your application, a Plug&Play harness is also available. There’s nothing like going through all the trouble of mounting a big Nautilus — no easy task — and having it fail before you get the bike out of the garage. Oh well… But a webBikeWorld visitor who read the instructions more carefully than us (!) wrote to let us know we made a mistake. Producing a massive 113 decibels of sound, the SoundBomb can be over twice as loud as a standard motorcycle horn! I have Clearwater Glenda lights (review) on my bike, and with a little wiring, soldering, and Clearwater’s instructions, the Glendas go to maximum power if the horn is hit. A nice feature which is standard on the larger Clearwater lights, but not the Glendas.

The clamp is said to be more resistant to vibrations, which helps to improve overall reliability of the horn.However, Twisted Throttle (the Soundbomb distributor/retailer) sells accessory mounting kits for some motorcycles.
