The wire from the horn relay to horn should connect to one end of the rheostat coil, and the other end of the coil go ground. The wiper, adjusted to 6 volts, would go to the 6 volt horn,
Read my post #9. What you are suggesting with a rheostat will only drop the voltage. He needs the voltage stepped up. Read the original question please. Regards, Kevin.
