However, only you know your budget and if the extra 120 dollars is worth it. I can tell you which ones I think sounds better, but I can't guess on your cash flow.

I am positive that the Strebel sounded way louder than the WOLO...Now i may have a problem with the WOLO...$40.00 at harbour freight is still pretty good ...I will get something better later but for now it's not at the top of my priority list.
The Rivco is a lot louder.

Again, they are the same. The Stebel rates theirs at 130db from 4 inches. The Wolo rates theirs at 114db at 4 feet. I may be a little off on the db's but I'm very close. Do a search here & you will need 3 hours to read all the post. I have mini beast II's on both bikes which are the Stebels with metal chromed covers that look great & are easy to mount. They are plenty loud!

Maybe one of your horns was defective or it didn't have the required relay. I had 2 Wolo, 2 Stebel Nautilus (hooked up on friends rides) & the 2 Mini Beast I have now. They all blew the same & were all hooked up with the required relay.
And here is what a Stebel dealer has to say:

The chrome Wolo has covers that help keep out moisture that could harm the diaphragms.
I mounted mine under a Metalarts flamed cover. The cover has openings in the flames, so I added a thin piece of stainless under the cover to close the front off.
It muffles the sound alittle, but it's still much louder than the stock.
I tested it at work wired straight to a truck battery, and some co-workers came around the building thinking the train was in the yard, hehe.
You'll see some Wolo's listed as 139 db. The same as the Stebel Nautilus lists the rating.
