Are you planning on running a 6 volt horn? If so, you'll want to reduce the voltage. 12 volt into it will NOT give you the correct sound, with 12 V it will sound frantic! Voltage reducers can be bought off of ebay quite inexpensively. As far as a relay is concerned, not necessary if you run a switch and wire that's rated for the current draw.
