Gettin Horny..need to add some noise!

Well, we finally picked up our new 2009 Blue Flash. We love it .
But, the wife tried the horn and says it sounds like a clown horn. The 'ol Caddy had FOUR horns, two on each side from the factory. Anyway, I stripped them from the Caddy and was wondering if it's possible to add some or all of them to the HHR without causing warranty problems?
Are there any GM techies that can give me GoodWrench advise?
The wife likes to drive d e f e n s i v e l y here in Detroit.
Thanks

Hey, this is off topic, but if you ever see an orange HHR driving terribly in Detroit, don't honk...it's probably me. I was just there last week for Warped Tour, and had no clue where I was going. I ended up going down Brush street the wrong way for about a block, but luckily no cars were coming....lol

Yeah, when we drove the Caddy, we had 5400lbs surrounding us and had no problems on the road -- people got out of our way .
I checked the other threads and it appears in order to ADD horns (not air horns) I'll have to run some type of separate harness up through the wheelwell over to the fuse box ? Then what?
What diameter wire? Where on the fuse box can I tap? Will this cause problems with the PCM?
Sooo many questions!

Another man with the same idea!I was just musing about this the other day but my thoughts ran toward the old Caddy trumpet horns from the 50s and 60s-the 2 foot long ones.THOSE would give a warning!Or maybe a diesel train horn(heh heh).
