Default Factory horn location? Few more questions

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. 2001 WS6 Trans Am

Few questions to start off. Where is the factory horn located? Looking to replace it with a louder low tone Hadley horn. The factory one sounds embarrassing Secondly, has anyone had problems with the rear hatch sticking where you have to hit the button a few times before it pops open. The struts seem to be in decent shape (about 60%), I sprayed silicone lube on the latch, but it still sticks sometimes in colder weather. Maybe the struts arn't pushing up hard enough. Anyways, I will go over more stuff as we go along. But any advice is appreciated.

Horn is mounted to the front passenger side frame rail/bumper support area. Does trunk open normal when you use the key to open it manually?

Thanks for the fast reply. So I guess I have to get the horn out from underneath where the access port is? The hatch doesn't release from the button because it still catches, it will rise up 1/8 of an inch and still stay locked. Then when I hit the button again it will rise another 1/8th and finally unlock to where I can pull it up.
