Wiring question Horns & relays

[Santa-2512]

I tried a Denali Soundbomb mini last week,

The tone was way lower and TBH not much louder than the stock horn

Despite what they say about being 2x louder

One of the suggestions to an earlier thread was to fit a twin horn setup ..

Not a bad idea, i could do this as i now have 2x horns

All i could work out was it was 2 horns and a relay .

As i said, i have two horns, and an unused relay sitting on the side of the headstock..


I'm deffo not a sparky, but i think i have a basic understanding of a relay,

(low voltage current amppery stuff one side, puts the relay into an open or closed position allowing higher voltage current amppery stuff to flow or not flow on the other side )

So how would i wire it up to allow two horns to work off the button,


Or could i just jump accross to the other horn, or would the canbus have a shit fit ??

Wire relay to battery via fuse. Connect existing horn to trigger input on really. Leave connections on horn so it works as normal. Wire from relay output to second horn and job done.

Removing original horn and connecting both to relay will cause an error. Connection both to existing connections will cause an error.

Tons of wiring diagrams for relays on Google.

2 horns won't be twice as loud however if they are different tones it will make a difference. The tones are usually tuned so what you have might or might not make a huge difference.

As Marki said you need a relay I used this website to wire my cheapie soundbomb ( still going strong 12 months down the line) it’s http://www.canyonchasers.net/shop/generic/relay.php
There are mucho electronic hook in systems but I’m not one for complicated flishy flashy light effects rather spend my pennies on fuel, I’ll leave special effects to men in black.
