horn ?

I have a 12 volt system. My single horn died on me. I bought a single LOW TONE horn and don't like it. I am going to buy another matching HIGH TONE horn to compliment it. I currently have only one relay. Do I have to buy a second relay or can I just jumper the two horns together after the relay? Thanks in advance for your help. Matt

What amp relay? I doubt the horns will be too much for a single relay considering they are rarely used more than a second or two.....unless you ride behind folks hammering down on it.

You should be fine running both horns off of the one relay.

The mid 70's through late 80's Cadillac's had 4 horns running off a single relay (those 4 horns - all different notes) sure got your attention.

Good luck
Bobby
