Ahooga in 1991 Ford Bronco? Why Not?
 

I want to install a 6 volt ahooga horn in my Bronco. This would be in addition to the stock horn. I know I would need a voltage reducer which I have from Snyder's. Do I also need a relay? Where would be the best place to draw power from? I also have a 12 volt Hutchin's ahooga horn which I can use, no voltage reducer needed there. Relay? What have you guys done?

right off the battery is best for 12V, to a relay mounted anywhere (plenty of space its a 91 bronco) then to the voltage reducer OR just use the 12V horn. Then run a momentary on pushbutton switch to the dash or disconnect factory horn and use those wires to trigger the relay.

simplest with least voltage drop.

i go to junkyards and put the 4 tone 4 trumpet GM horns from the late 80's-early 90-'s fullsize cars (caddys bucks etc) in most of my vehicles - louder than heck and sounds like a train in tone. a horn is a horn not a microwave beeper like most cars nowadays...

I have a Harbor Freight cheapo ahooga horn in my PT Cruiser. It's 12 volts, I have lots of fun with it and best of all it's cheap.

i have a 12 volt on my 98 Ranger. It was my dads he had it on all his work cars thru the 70's and into the 80's.There is no room under the hood of the Ranger so I mounted it under the bed in front of the fender. Its been under there a couple years now and its sounding a little rough, once the weather breaks I'm gonna pull it off and clean and lube it up. My son in law just put one on his 2013 Seirra he loves it.

A relay only reduces the amount of current that goes through the switch. So a relay is not actually needed, preferred maybe, but not electrically needed.
