I'd recommend running a relay...

You don't mention what kinda car you've got.&nbsp I have them on my '87 FC turbo.

The horn leads are normally grounded, but switch to +12VDC when triggered.&nbsp I ran the "low" signal from the horn lead to trigger for the relay and grounded that side.&nbsp the "high" side of the relay went from battery to + lead on compressor.&nbsp The - on compressor is just grounded on the chassis.&nbsp My compressor is bolted on the backside of the hood latch - fit perfectly there.&nbsp The horns are not hard-mounted, but wire-tied to the relay "rack" in the front nose.

I'm also interested in an air horn set-up. Can anyone recommend one? What does it sound like?

I'm looking for the lambo type horn sound, but I don't know where to look or what to buy and I would like to hear the horn before I buy it.
