PIAA Horn Upgrade

My first Thread Post!

Today I upgraded my crappy horn with a PIAA Dual horn setup from Amazon. I selected this set as the advertised amperage draw was the lowest I could find. After installation, I did find that the horns sound better by using chassis ground, and I am planning to add a fuse block, tapping onto the alternator and providing a 30 amp relay... During the video test I found the tone has some variability which I assume is due to circuit draw. The stock wires are pretty small at best.

Below is a link to a YouTube video that I created:

Use the stock horn wire for the relay control and run you a separate feed for the horn. The easy way to do it. My Marco and the Rivco dual trumpet each pulled about 12 amps. How do I know the amps, I kept moving up on the fuse amps until the fuse quit blowing and then went up 2 amps on the fuse size. I did not want to hook up and check the amp for the horns.

Yes, this is my plan, I have the relay and fuse block ordered.... Thanks!

Also on Amazon there are some perfect marine fuse panels that will work with the Sling Shot from I think 4 circuits up to I think it is 12 circuit for around $20 to $30 Blue Sea is the brand and you will find what you want for very little money

I ordered the lightway 4 circuit fuse block with LED indicators. I liked this version as it uses the blade style connectors rather than the screw down clamp style.

Thanks!

Promised an update of the lightway fuse block and connections made. I actually drilled two holes in the fuse block base allowing me to use a HD Wire tie to attach it to the upper frame rail under the hood.
