Installed Hella supertone horns. Plug and play. They came with a relay. I did not use it. Maybe install later?

Use the relay!
Cant stress this enough. I put mine on without the relay, an then wired in the relay with a wire that went right to the battery with an inline fuse. The difference is HUGE. The horns just draw more power then the stock horns, and your existing harness will be a bottleneck. Zach |

Zach i think that is what my can has with the existimg aftermarket airhorn, would make it easier when i put these in, i should be able to use wiring thst is there- it has a relay next to horn. hm might be easier thanni thought |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c2.staticflickr.com-1435-1494298941.1.jpg) You can see how I mounted mine. With the supertones, they are directional horns. They are a lot louder in the direction they are facing. So if they are placed facing towards the street, or off to the side, you are going to loose some of their effectiveness. Also, if you don't use the relay, my experience is that the horns are not very loud, and they sound almost like they are winding up. With the relay, and a fat gauge wire that goes to the battery to feed them, they are instantly LOUD. Which is what you want in a horn. Mine make the people in front of me jump when I use them. Zach |
