Air Horn Installation

Here's an instructional video on how to install an air horn in any vehicle.

An air horn can be installed on any car or truck as an upgrade to your existing horn system. It produces a louder, lower tone than the wimpy stock horn on passenger cars, alerting other drivers and idiots.

The kit used was a Fiamm 66025 Chrome Rivera horn. It comes with a 12V compressor/ air tank, low and high pitched horns, some 5/16" PVC tubing, a relay and mounting hardware.

Installation is straight forward, though it will require some additional hardware, such as wire, spade connectors, a switch, heatshrink, and fabricated bracketry.

The kit here was mounted on a 1/8" thick aluminum bar stock. It was cut to size and holes were drilled for the two horns compressor and its mounting point. It was bolted to a pre-existing hole in the radiator support, in front of the radiator. Mount the compressor and horns facing downward so water doesn't penetrate and sit inside.

The wiring is straight forward - a fuse and relay should always be used to protect the circuitry and switch. 12V is run to the compressor, which then goes to a relay and then into the cabin to a switch. The relay was mounted on a bolt just under the right headlight.

This kit was purchased from Princess Auto in Canada:

Please check your local bylaws before using on the road.

I've spent hours today trying to install an air horn. absolutely no luck. I will try with this video tomorrow. thanks dude

[markhulette]

Thanks for an excellent video showing details!! I've not done any electrical work on cars so your details really answered a lot of questions I had unlike the other hundreds of videos out there that show nearly NOTHING!

Thanks again!

Quite informative, Basically wanted to see the Grille area in regards of mounting the horns along with compressor. Wiring through the firewall is not that hard as I looked up google. There's a rubber bulb protrudes next to the steering column. That's where the wire goes through along with dielectric grease. Just a tip or two here

After 5 videos this one was one that actually helped me, thank you

I used this video installing this very horn and it learned a lot referring to this video many times as a guide.

I just needed the diagram and you had it. Thank you for showing including it in the video. I can let you knaow how it turned out after i install mine.

[echardcore]

Your video and diagram especially, really helped me. I installed Hella air horns in my s10 this weekend. They worked on the first shot! Thanks a lot!

This is the best wiring explanation ive neen able to find anywhere for the relay, thank you for posting

Thanks guy, this helped me along in my quest. However i installed one 450 mm alloy trumpet as opposed to two trumpets. Sounds a much lower tone than what we have in this video. Thanks again.

i wanted musical air horns in my Toyota Rukus but i was told there wouldn't be enough room. now i have 1 horn mounted which is a Klaxton. i have a black soft touch button near the entry key to push to sound the Klaxton. but i would prefer Musical horns. awesome video my buddy.

Very good instruction (I liked that your video didn't include any wasted time unlike 99%+ of YouTube instructional videos). The only thing you didn't do, based on your own instruction with, incredibly, an example of the violation of your own rules, is actually use a crimping tool instead of a cutting tool. Could it be that you actually don't have one?

Nice vid dude. Great editing. Not long and boring but easy to follow 👍

The tank was made in 99 - 2, meaning February of 1999.

Nice editing installing 1 on my motorcycle

[elguerokabron]

Ahh so its kinda of like hooking up a sound system very nice 🙇🏻👍

[eurgio]

i realy need the relay ?? if i connect one cable from the compressor directely to the battery and the other one to a button that is connect to the battery does it work ????

Could I install this without a harness? The harness for my Mitsubishi Montero sport (2002) is no longer sold anywhere- and I cant fix my horn the traditional way. SO I thought I'd try to have an air horn mounted.
