Hey first post on the forums so sorry if im not exactly in the right place, but anyway I was looking to buy some sickspeed horns for my 84 240DL, Ive seen installation videos of hella horns on subarus and it looks fairly simple just making a few grounds and what not, would this installation be somewhat similar and easy? or do I need to buy their recommended wiring kit + fuse?

Thank you for any help!

 

no idea what sickspeed horns are, but horns are very simple, they either ground through their mounting bracket, and have one wire whcih you hook up to the existing horn circuit, or they have a ground wire and horn wire...

if these horns come with a short piece of springy steel as a mounting bracket USE IT, it makes them louder than bolting them directly to a hard surface. I'm particularlly fond of the Hella Supertones, always use both the high and low horn, these are loud as hell, autobahn blasters!

 

Awesome thank you very much! The sickspeeds look exactly like the supertones so if you know that installing supertones is simple I cant imagine these should be any different

A wiring kit (with a relay) may be included for extra would this be necessary?

 

adding a relay to the circuit, so the horns are powered directly off the battery will probably get them an extra volt or two, which likely makes them even louder, plus it takes the current load off the horn switch in the steering wheel (with the relay, the horn switch just has to fire the relay coil, and the relay fires the horns). so it wouldn't hurt to add the relay, but its probably not really required.

 

When I wiring up the horns on mine, I added the relay. It works great and you can use the horn with the key out of the ignition. Good for alarms also.

 

Sounds good! Did you do the Hella's or the Sickspeeds? and all of this including the relay will work with a 240?

 

Blazer air horns. In the 91 745 turbo project thread.
They include a standard Bosch relay. That's it.

You wire it your self. It is existing wire for the horn that go to the relay, and you run power from battery and a ground to the relay also. The relay pin out is included. Use that to wire te relay.
