No problem. I'd run the included relay without the switch (terminal 85 to ground) and terminal 86 to the wire connected to either factory horn.
Tired of my wussy sounding horn. Anyone done a horn Mod?

I've got OEM horns from a Mercedes, manufactured by Fiamm. They aren't particularly truckish, but they're really loud and sound just like a normal pair of horns.

Easily twice as loud as my old stock ones were.

Delco Remy 4 note horn install - 4th gen
Had these sitting idle for a couple months after ordering off ebay. Finally got around to installing them yesterday and very happy with the result.
Fairly simple install. Used a Bosch relay and 30 amp in line fuse to deal with the increased load of the new horns. Plenty of room between the grille and radiator for all 4 notes (A C D F) - 2 in stock location and 2 mounted in similar location on passenger side of hood release. All wiring run underneath plastic radiator shroud gives a nice clean install. The sound is A+! Definitely good for a laugh the first few times you lay it on! Oh, and the increased safety factor is cool as well.
Pics: 1) shroud off to show horn mounting points. 2) Relay and fuse box mounted on driver side firewall (yes you can still access factory fuse box-just looks tight in pic). 3) Install compete and shroud replaced.

While definitely loud, I found the supertones to be a little high pitched and atonal for my taste. I wanted to get that chordal train-like sound that comes with the old school Delco horns. And before you jump all over me, my prior ride was an 05 WRX. If I had garage room, I'd have my t4r and a late model WRX. For now my Triumph Sprint provides the speed fix!
