6 volt horns
hey guys, iv converted my ol 50 F1 to 12 volts, can i use the 6 volt horn ?
i tested it and it seams pretty loud, i wonder how long it will last.. so, am i suppose to wire the horn direct with fused power, and use the ground in the column to actuate it ? is that how it works ? thanks |

Re: 6 volt horns
I am using the 6 volt horns on 12 volt. I do not hold down the horn for very long. A couple blasts and it is heard. If you are concerned you can wire the horns in series than each will be working on 6 volts.

Alternatively, you can use a heavier relay that's wasn't originally a horn relay - even those cube relays are typically rated at 30A, which should be more than enough. To wire them in series, you'd have to isolate one from ground. Doable. But they're so much nicer in parallel!
