Did you keep the stock horn too?
I've to agree...maybe I'm missing something, but given the current design approach:
1. when you tap the regular horn at someone who doesn't start when the light changes, 3 seconds later they're going to get the air horn blast, which probably isn't what you want.
2. if someone is about to run into you on the freeway, the air horn won't activate until 3 seconds later, which probably isn't what you want either.
Yeah, but you can't hear itDid you keep the stock horn too?
Amazon's picture shows a 30 amp fuse protecting the relay and this horn circuit. I'd suggest you run #10 awg wire from the battery or an aux. fusebox to the horn relay, and then the same #10 from the load side of the relay to the horn. You can use the original horn wiring to trigger the relay. The specs say the horn draws 15 amps, but you have to consider voltage drop. Since this is not a critical application, you can probably get away with # 12 wire and a 20 amp fuse, but I'd opt for #10. The voltage drop would be higher with #12, but probably not excessive (I've not run the numbers).This is the horn I purchased
And from the compressor - terminal to the battery - terminal or to ground.I'd suggest you run #10 awg wire from the battery or an aux. fusebox to the horn relay, and then the same #10 from the load side of the relay to the horn.
The compressor will spool up and sound off a bit faster with the #10, too.The voltage drop would be higher with #12, but probably not excessive (I've not run the numbers).
Whelen offers quite a few features in this ...If it were me I'd have two buttons and two horn circuits as previously mentioned.

But if I had to have airhorns I'd want some that sounded like they reached puberty.
Yep, pointed the trumpets of mine downward in front if the bike to reflect from the road surface...Two snail horns back to back, harmonize to seam even louder. A very quick tap isn't to obnoxious, but a long press gets attention
