8th generation horn replacement
Get a pair of wire strippers/cutters, a jumper wire and a cordless drill battery. Go down to the local salvage yard and pick a big car to take the horn off of. I used a dual horn from a Pontiac for my Civic. Go as far back from the connector as you can (you don't know how much you'll use), cut the wire and unbolt the bracket.
To hear the horn: Strip the end of that horn wire and attach it to 1 terminal of the drill battery. Jump from the other terminal to the horn bracket (it grounds through the bracket).
Your horn wires up the same way so, you can basically just replace your horn with the new one- if it'll fit, otherwise you have to relocate it. If you have to relocate it then be sure to use self-tapping screws on the bracket so it grounds to the chassis good.
Also, keep in mind that your horn is probably rated at only 3-5 amps so, if you put a bigger horn on and it blows the fuse you'll have to build a relay circuit for it to work.
btw- Relay circuits are super simple. You build your first one and you'll be like "what was so hard about that?"

Sounds a lot better than stock.
