I got a set of dual tone air horns to replace the crappy OEM one.
I disconnected the stock horn cable, used a spade connector (or whatever it used) and plugged in right there.
I then ran that wire along the front (next to the wire wrap) and down into the hole next to the coolant reservoir on the driver's side.
I removed the splash guard for that wheel well and mounted the compressor and horns using 90 degree brackets from the hardware store just inside of the hole.

I plan to remove it, as I have a CAI that has been waiting to go in, which is going to need that space though.
I plan to get a new horn that doesn't require a compressor, as it doesn't work all that great for quick bursts and the cold air in the winter here causes it to not function at all at times.

Maybe I will find another type of horn to use from Canadian Tire..

I have the hella dual-trumpet air horn and haven't had a problem in the winter time. I mimiced the install they have on the miata.net for them:

yeah, I have that same set pictured on miata.net
I didn't like the fact that my horn wasn't functioning in the cold, which is part of the reason why I won't just be relocating when the CAI goes in.

I think someone needs to figure out how to mount these suckers in their Pro5.

I mean, its a ton of cash, but you could definitely scare the crap out of anyone who cuts you off....
