Like an earlier post here, I used junkyard horns.

Car originally had 2 in front of radiator. I removed them, put two behind each corner of front bumper. Sound comes out wheel wells due to lots of clearance there. Powered by relays. I got the horns from junker Volvos but I think most stock horns from medium-large cars should be pretty loud. Two horns of different pitches are more piercing than two of same pitch.

I find most offending cars that need to hear my horns are approaching from the side, not from ahead of me. So the side horns do a great job. You can hear them in front too of course.

That is Christine. It is a 1998 and used to have the newer style lights, but I converted to the older sealed beam style for better visibility out here in deer country. When converting to the older lamps, I had to add turn signals since they used to be integrated with the composite lamps.

I switched all my lighting (except stop/Tail) to LED lamps. The turn signal lamps are actually made for the heavy truck industry and are mounted on trailers or the rear of box trucks. They were like $16.00 each and I already had mounting grommets and modified my bumper to fit the lamps and to be more aerodynamic.
