New Horn on My "Around Town" Bicycle

I've gotten a little tired of red light runners, and intersection
blockers and it's getting worse and worse as traffic increases in my
area. I decided that it was time for a louder horn on my
"transportational" bike.

I got a 12 volt compact air horn http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F5DQWY
and a 14.8V Li-Ion battery pack http://www.ebay.com/itm/131590167806.
The handlebar switch has not yet arrived
http://www.ebay.com/itm/311504686111 but everything else is in place.
Harbor Freight has the horns for a little less (with their 20% off coupon).

It all fits under my Porteur Rack http://oi63.tinypic.com/f4fqd4.jpg.
The battery, fuse holder with 15A fuse, and horn relay, fit in a shallow
4" square electrical box.

let's see a Db reading at 100'

Why bother. You can get a "Fog horn" powered by a gas cylinder at any
yacht chandlery, or Amazon sells them for about 6 Pounds Sterling. I
guarantee that at close quarters one of these will raise the dead :-)
