Ok, managed to instal the hella horn last night. So easy, just ran an earth and plugged the original wires in. Sounds heaps better

hey islandflyer,

can I suggest you clean up your wiring, throw it into a corrugated hose and use zip ties etc

I had an auto sparky do a similar job. ended up having one of the cables short out.

Anyone know the amperage rating of the stock wiring? I really don't want to install another relay.

by **packeteer** on Fri, 18 Dec 2015 6:57 +0000

imo, it's around 10A. very light grade wire

My lessons learned with this hack is don't cut the cable to the old horns, just tap in !!!!

Ended up using a relay. The stock wires are piddly as.
Went with the sebel magnum 2. Not overly loud. Just a better tone than stock. I kept both horns for now

Installed a set of shocker xl's from hornblasters under the bed of the truck. Crazy loud.
Tested a set of kleinn 230's which cant compare at all to the sound and loudness of the shockers.

Fitted the Stebel Nautilis compact with a wiring loom. I also left my stock SR5 horns in place and only disconnected the RHS one to trigger it. This way, a light 'toot' initially gives a friendly beep. Hang onto the horn and the Sebel bellows nicley. Great mod.

Anyone know how many amps the the stock horn wiring/fuse can do?

Im thinking of getting hella super tones (2x 66w) and using the stock cables.

I don't have my car with me to check but you looking at around 10amps @ 13v (averaged). I would assume they run a 10amp fuse in that circuit so you'll need a battery feed and relay. If 15 your all good

If its only a 10A fuse might have to settle for the Sharp tones instead (2x 42w = 7A).

I dont have access to my car either. Can someone confirm the fuse rating for the stock horn?

by **flip9** on Sat, 06 Feb 2016 12:38 +0000

The horn fuse is indeed 10A, so i ended up going with the Sharptones so i can use the stock wiring. I just repainted the cowl red because yellow was a little too striking.

Super horny now

What are you guys doing where you need to use your horn so often?
