I was at Harbor Freight and picked up one of those Fiamm horns. Is there a reason to not use this? Is drawing 5 amps a problem?
My horn button is on the fritz so I haven't tried it, but connected it across my battery and that sucker is LOUD!

One horn on the Eldo has gone silent. I am thinking of disconnecting the stock horns and leaving them place to retain stock appearance. Then, I will get a real pair of horns and mounting them discretely below the tank. Harbor Freight has Fiamm horns but they are said to draw 5 amps each. There is a guy on E-bay selling universal mount 12v horns that are said to draw only 1.5 amps and put out 105 dB.
I plan to add a horn relay, but the 1.5 amp horns are appealing.
Does anyone have input into this?
