Can i hook up to the wiring of the standard one before i blow something? (i.e.fuse)
I have 3 spare diamante horns i plan to hook up but before i do i would just like to know weather or not if anyones done this before?

haha, put them on a delay timer, that way they sound one after another.. and try a bigger fuse, maybe that will work

just use the std horn wiring to trigger a relay with some decent sized power wire and put what ever u want on it

ahhhhh relays is where my mind goes blank....

Hmm cause i wanted all 3 to sound at one time, so its like a massivly loud horn...

Hm stimulate...any help?:P

u mean like the air horns i have?
ask rabet and dee how loud they are :)

nah Nah not air horns ( supercheap hae em on sale for $50 but just more crap really)
Just 4 standard horns, not too sure how the standard woring would go if i all hooked em up in parralell

I giggle at your idea, and would like to see it happen for the following reasons:

Retirement villages - A must once completed, +50 points for every old person you kill with the horns :bowrofl:

Underground carparks - with homie's chilling in them aswell, god knows theres enough room for them to poo in those stupid ass baggy pants their older brothers lent them lol

Anywhere - At Three AM on a weeknight... somewhere affluent (high employment - if your not sleeping, why are they)

Flinders Street Station - Watch all the goths makeup run when they sh|t & cry about the noise

Main Drag Of Any Capital City - The looks & remarks would be priceless

buy a truck horn :bowrofl:

See i would love to BUY more horns but these are here, and free, so i would love to utilise them:P

Seafood - Lol....you forgot pushbike riders...


HONK *falls off bike*

ill wait to see what some other peeps say

are you greek?

lol

are you greek?

lol

Not a chance:P

No-one? how do these relays work?

Relays work some what like a switch, you send a current to them and they then send a larger current else where.

Like your head light switch, when you turn your head lights on you send constant power to the relay, the relay turns on and then sends the 40ish amps to the head lights.

Google it dood cos I have no idea, I am just guessing based on it's name and bits of information I have picked up.

hahahh, i've always wanted a truck horn.....

get a relay from super cheap or any other joint. A simple 10A, SPDT headlight one will do fine.

Wire pin 30 to your battery, choose either 85 or 86 one as a signal (12V from existing horn wire) and the other as ground. Pin 87 to power your air compressors for the horns or whatever.

u might want to use a slightly thicker wire for them, just in case. oh, fuse the wire that goes to pin 30, as you will be drawing power from the battery.

I tooted someone with my air horn once, parked my car and came back out to find 'toot - toot' keyed into my bonnet. So yeah, not that much fun.

unlucky wags..
i haven't had that problem yet...

I was not very familar with relays myself but referred to this diagram when installing my horns which made it extremly simple. Using a relay and connection to your battery, you should be able to connect your 3 horns up and have them blast at the same time.:)

After asking my electronics teacher and drawing up a working diagram on a simulation program now relays make sense to me...:)

Hope that doesnt happen to me wags....:s
Cheers for the diagram Billy....Although i was told to get a DPDT Relayin order to run the horns in series parrallel

Am I the only one waiting for Paul to say he installed these and blew something up?:eh:

I am hoping you have success, though.:)

Is the diamante horn better than the stock TF horn? If you find it just won't work and you need to get rid of one please let me know and I may just take it off your hands.:cool:

Super cheap have 120db horns for like $6 so yeah just get one from there, the stock horn is in the bumper so just chop the old wires off and put the new one in.

Got a 5 pin relay today now just to figure out how to work the bloody thing.

did u not read my post? there should be numberes next to the pins. follow it and it will work :P

only thing is is im pretty sure its a SPDT relay not a DPDT relay, as i want to run 2 seperate curcuits for the horns with 2 in each (series parralell)
So instead of an 86, 85, 87 and 30 theres 2 87's which im assuming would be there to switch on 2 different cuircuts..

OH well

']only thing is is im pretty sure its a SPDT relay not a DPDT relay, as i want to run 2 seperate curcuits for the horns with 2 in eachWrong way around; sounds like you've got a DPDT (double pole double throw), not SPDT (single pole double throw). You are switching two circuits at the same time, so double pole.
Actually it may even be DPST, can't remember the setup of standard car relays. DT (double throw) means you can run one circuit when the relay is on, another when it's off, whilst ST means a single circuit will only run when the relay is on.

[pre-post edit]
I think you may have gotten the wrong relay. Sounds like you want to switch on both horn circuits at the same time, correct? Does it say 87 and 87a? Then I think you have got an SPDT relay, which is NOT what you want, as 87 will be powered in one state (say "on"), whilst 87a will be powered in the alternate state ("off").
ie., you will have one set of horns continuously blasting, and switch to the other set when you hit the noise button.
You want either DPDT or DPST.

Yeah definatly SPDT....
Rice-O-barn should have DPDT Relays yeah?
