Technical maybe guys, but also a recommendation for a frikking loud and easy fit airhorn! :) See link below.

I got an Airhorn in replacement for the stock Toyota shite a while ago and attempted to fit at weekend. It uses the standard spade connector which needs a little trimming, but goes to the positive terminal. I then got some normal 'wiring' from a toolbox and grounded the horn to the chassis of the car from the negative terminal. The horn worked perfectly, but as I was only testing it and just touched the wire on the chassis, I think it caused a surge which blew the fuse.:rolleyes:

 

I've now got some decent female spade connectors to ensure a secure connection to the neg terminal on the horn and will wire this to the chassis.

 

What I need to know is can I use any grounding wire, or do I have to use a specific ampage/type? The fuse for the Haz/Horn is 15amp.:search:

 

Thanks guys. :)
