Default Re: A&L Horns

If you have two horns and one is 6 volt and the other is 12 volt you can compare the windings. The 12 volt will have more windings of a smaller gauge than the 6 volt horn. The wire for the 6 volt horn is usually 20 gauge and for the 12 volt horn it is 24 gauge (smaller). The turns for the 6 volt horn are around 40 whereas for the 12 volt horn it is about 100 turns. You could measure the wire diameter. It would be impossible to measure the turns without taking the horn apart but you could estimate them.
