Where To Put my New Horns

[BIG--T]

I bought a Wolo Bad boy from HF last night and  wanted chrome but for $30 couldn't pass it up. Now any suggestions on a good place to mount it?  I also bought 2 electric horns without a compressor. I've never wired a horn and wonder if I can wire the little horns using the same connectors going to the stock horn and run jumper wires to the other one? I sure don't want to burn anything up.
This is what I got:

don't wire anything without using a relay

there is good info in this post http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,8908.0.html

and a link to wiring a relay

stock horn switch/wires won't stand up to big or multiple horn use

This is where I mounted my Stebel.



Made a simple bracket from a scrap piece of alum. flat bar.

Thanks man, just what I needed!

Thanks guys for all the help. I just have one question:  I plan to run the Bad Boy with  the relay and the same procedure with the 2 electric horns. My question is can I tie them all to the 2 original horn wires and use  horn button?

Thanks

Power a relay directly from the battery with a fused wire (or from a secondary fuse panel wired to the battery thru a fuse and relay). Wire the 'trigger' on the relay to the positive horn wire and the output from the relay to as many horns as you want. The 'trigger' uses very little power, so the existing horn wire is plenty. The horn button will now blow them all.

Thanks Fred, I'm understanding it better now, It's easier than I thought. Yes I'm pulling straight off the battery using an inline fuse going to my relay.
Thanks, Tony

A great source for m/c elec. supplies is Eastern Beaver (I know, great name).  I used a PC-8 fuse panel with relays on my Rocket III to power horns, lights, gps, audiovox cruise control, power outlet, etc.  Great products, fast shipping.  Made adding additional stuff a breeze and kept the battery from having a zillion wires running to the terminals.
