i got six trumpets ( la cucaracha )
its easy you take the wire from the original horn connect it to the possitive on the compressor ground the second wire coming from the compressor to a solid meatal replace the stock 7.5 amp fuse with a 20amp disconnect the rest of original horns and done (and no it is not nessesery to use that relay original is good enough)

Hopefully you don't have your horns yet...

'Cos theres heaps to choose from

2 horns = loud but not harsh
3 horns = loud and grating, people know your honking it
And then theres the musical ones like the 6 trumpet above, and I also saw triple horn with adjustable tune(?)

Here's the writeup: http://web.archive.org/web/200111091...max/horns.html

you can really mount the horns wherever you want, and a relay is not required but you might want to run one anyway. i have blown the fuse twice and have had the horns for about 2 years.

it's really easy

It comes with the relay anyways so just buy a $2 packet of crimp tab connectors and then you have no worries about blowing fuses

-Use the relay: Connect the stock horn wire for your turn on, run a wire off the positive battery terminal for your power, find a good ground to ground it, run the wire to the horn(s) you have to tap another wire off it since you have 2 horns.
-the horns themselves have a ground, I grounded it to the metal that I mounted them too.

Hope this helps, they sound really good
