new horns

I bought a new pair of Fiamm air horns for the old girl the other day and just wondered if they will be an easy direct replacement fit?

As far as i am aware they are low power with a small compressor and hopefully will be ok to use the standard wiring and relay.

Can anyone confirm this please as my old horns are acting up and the low tone horn isn't working.

I think the new ones are about 16A as it recommends using a 20A fuse, not sure what rating the existing fuse is, but looking at the porsche replacement horns my new ones dont look anymore powerfull.

Thanks guys.

Honestly, I would just hook them up....I think the standard relay can handle the juice, but perhaps someone can confirm because I don't know what the rating is for that particular relay.

I've been running a small compressor powering dual tone air horns, off stock wiring meant for a tiny toyota horn for about 3 years now. Never had a problem, and people think an 18 wheeler is coming when I let them have it!
