I ran a Fiamm on my Ambo off a relay to prevent the occational blown fuse and to take the amp load off the handle bar switch.
My wife had a 87 VW Jetta and now has a 90. Those cars have great sounding horns - FYI. They're probably cheap in a salvage yard.
The lower amperage horns might be screatchers instead of the throaty sound of the Fiamms - just a guess.

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?
