Hella horns
So I’ve seen a few posts on here saying cheap mods for trucks would be a set of hella horns, as everyone knows the OEM horn sounds like a little clown car and makes your truck look like a B**** truck. Well I recieved a set for my birthday maybe a week or 2 ago and I got around to wiring them and I figured I would show y’all out there the 2 easiest ways of doing it.
Way number 1 and the easiest way possible is to just cut off the old connector split it, and then hook female spade connectors up and you’re wired and ready to honk. However you lose a lot of the horns capacity but not supplying adequate power. So that brings us to option 2
option 2 is to run a relay and have the battery scarce straight from the battery to the relay, so basically a constant 12V. Now the horns themselves come with a 4 pin relay. You will also need at least 8 female spade connectors along with that to have a proper non risk of shorting install. To go about this cut off the OEM connector and trash it, this is after pulling off the old horns and unscrewing the old FLAMM horns from the bracket. Then attach the female spade connectors to both wires that went to the OEM connector, one is negative and one is the positive switch wire. Then run a wire from the battery straight to the relay, be sure to include an inline fuse in this wire as it is running straight off the battery, then simply run your last wire from the relay to the horns, have it run 2 wires into one connector and run one wire to the relay and one to the other horn, this serves to split the power coming out of the relay into the 2 horns. Then run a negative in the same manner, if you want it to look good then near that OEM connector is a hole in the frame, that runs to the engine bay, run the power wire down it and run the horn ground cable up it to a ground bolt just behind the headlight. Then tuck all of the wiring into the frame. Out of sight and out of mind.
Then on e you’re all done, hit the horn and listen to it scare the s*** out of your buddies who are expecting the little B**** horn. Any questions feel free to ask

Agreed, there are times when "more horn" is needed.
