I am changing from a single horn to twin electromagnetic snail type horns, supplied with the horns were 4 brackets and a upgraded relay, my car is a seicento shumi, do i have a relay and if so where is it located and should i replace it with the new 1 also when the horns are bolted together with the brackets does this connect them both top make them work or do i need to wire both terminals on both horns together or is there an easier way to wire them up , thanks..
 
Yes, but the wiring is not up to upgraded horns so its better to wire in the new relay properly.

Horns now wired and bolted in place they look and sound great as u can see them through the left bumper grill above the spotlight they are a nice bright red colour, the only thing was i was expecting 2 terminals from the standard horn but it was a plug instead so i had seperate the wires and wire them to 1 of the horns terminals and patch to the 2nd horn, it has a real 2 tone Blast sound now, well chuffed, thanks again..
 
Hi David

I thought cooked loom was a Scottish delicacy like Haggis?

Be very careful if you haven't used the relay supplied.

Hi thanks for the warning and advice thus far,as there was not a horn relay to replace i did not know where the relay supplied plugs in as the fusebox is full up, however i have an in line fuse within the wiring of the horn's and good cable's too, your freind mentioned cooking of the loom which obviously is a major concern to me, is it possible that this may happen and if so how can occationally beeping the horn cause an overload on the wiring, surely the weakness would be a fuse blowing before any further damage is caused, which has not happened!!, many thanks so far..
 
If you have wired the horn in correctly using 28/030 cable through a suitable fuse, then not a problem.

If you have used the original wiring to carry the load, not just the signal, then wiring takes milliseconds to overheat, the first time might be fine, but the insulation will be compromised. Next time, or the time after it may burn through the insulation and that of the wires next to it.

Then you have a problem.
