How did you wire those things up I have the same horns with the compressor and relay but I cant figure out how to install. Did you wire them to beep off a switch or a the normal steering wheel horn

I recently tore out the Fiaam airhorns{required regular cleaning to produce loud sound} for Piaa dual traditional design horns-just as loud and maintenance free!!! the airhorns,when dirty couldnt produce sound loud enough to be effective-not good in evasive conditions!!

Omg. Those train horns would sound crazy in my Q. How hard is it to put them in to replace my stock horn? Is this a weekend driveway job?

couple of hours . mounted compressor in back of trunk, brought power from fuse panel under carpet to trunkran heavy air hose drilled hole in trunk under car through frame into engine bay.Mounted horns pointing down to the right of the hood latch.Man they SCREAM, people jump and tweak out. cars jump back into theit lanes. Even busses will stop and they r more than happy to ignore a car.

How do the PIAA's sound? Were the Fiamm an aftermarket item or from a Ferrari or some Italian car?

Wired as per instructions....

Used the included relay, and wired the original horn wires to the relay/compressor, so they run off the horn buttons on the steering wheel.Got the phone working with the PC, just lost the vid.... need to make a new one....
