Hella SuperTone horn install night, Friday the 22nd

we want to eat it though...

 

so what's the damage for the extra parts? also for food, i'd rather go alone unless everyone decides on group pizza

 

I think with 10 people coming (est) $5 a peice will be more than enough for pizza and some pop

 

I may head out there...50/50 just to check it out...

 

I can pick up a bunch of $5 pizza's at Little Ceasars by FS (right on my way), although they may be cold by the time I get all the way down there.

I'm thinking about arriving at ~7:00 pm, in order to miss the worst of traffic. LMK.

 

Works for me.

Stuart.

 

yeah but cold pizza for the lose.... I say pizza and Pasta locally.. they have great pizza too and the best cheese bread... and if my buddy is working I will get the hook up

 

I got a bunch of wire rolls and fuses too in my shop...

 

Ok, we'll work out food down @ the shop. What time is everyone else showing up?

 

^oh sure...put me on the spot:roll:

 

from what the rallylights guys say u can put 3 sets and it will be fine...but again...it is your call...better safe than sorry...

 

Yeah, I think you want to use both relays with two fuses. I think the fuse should blow way before the relay melts down, so a 30amp fuse (to run 2 sets) on a 30 amp relay is probably a bad idea.

 

good excuse to get the 07 STi...

 

I already told ya...$$$ let me know...Ballz in yo court

 

i thought this was @ 6 or so...is it still?

 

after 6pm.... shop closes then... people are welcome to start turning up after 5:30pm...

 

Where do I put the disco ball? :banana:

 

could tell you were you can put it but I may earn some points and get a ban

 

(+15) banned for a month...hmmmm..may not be a bad idea...

 

i maybe in on this but not too sure about my schedule. so inline fuse holder, 14gauge wire, female connectors for the relay, electrical tape?, and heat shrink for all the supplies???

 

Does someone have a good heatgun for heatshrink tubing? That would speed things up a bit compared to shrinking it with the solder gun. Also a good crimp pliers (ratcheting kind)? I just have the cheap kind, but they work. And maybe a powerful solder gun or mini butane torch. My solder gun isn't hot enough to solder 12ga, and it's kinda slow on 14ga.

 

Honestly not sure what guage it is... I have a mixed setup.... got one of those deals from harbour freight with a small stand etc... have some heat shrink but it is larger so may not shrink down as good...

 

Got these mounted last night, and they look mean! See ya' guys tonight.

 

heads up...If anyone needs or wants to use a 14ga wire Idget is bringing 500 ft. worth...u can buy it from him He will be there around 6:30pm

 

14 gauge should be ok. 12 or 10 would be better considering the relay is a 30amp

 

Back home finally. Anyway, sorry we couldn't get everyone's done tonight. We just didn't have enough tools/organization and I wanted to finish and do a nice job on the cars I started on. But I hope people learned enough to figure it out and finish up.

Luke, how are your ears? And Nathan, have you stopped laughing yet?

Also, I realized I forgot to pitch in for the pizza, how much do I owe and who do I pay?

 

LOL, rest of the night i felt like id been swimming all day and still had water in the ears! nothing like being the guineypig

Thanks to Natha for finishing me up at about 11:30 at night! HONK!

ok time to sleep so that i dont get my sleep while driving tomorrow.

 

haha...fun night alright...Sheen yours gonna be a bit more complicated
Nathan...Thanks again for hosting this Horn install...and no we did not hit it off upstairs in the locker room...You could tell your wife your not a Fruity Asian male order bride.

 

I paid $10 so you should be ok.... thanks for your work... Luke and I got his finished... and I got your toolbox too....

 

nope.... just...

 

Aight for those of you that have done this I need a little help.

How big of wire and how much will I need for the install?

How many male/female connectors?

 

14 ga wire, I used 12ga for the battery connection. about 15 feet, menards sells 20 foot packs, 20 wasn't enough to do two cars.

1 male and 8 female connectors, might as well have a few extras
3 or 4 ring terminals, depends how you ground the horns
1 fuse holder with 12 ga wire.
1 fuse
2 3/8ths bolts,nuts,washers
heatshrink
zip ties

 

Thanks! I just found this and if anyone is having trouble I think this walks you through it very well. Let me know if there is anything you guys would do differen't.

This tutorial is pretty good, too.

I did this install tonight. Man, those horns are loud!! Thanks again Joel for helping, I learned a lot of the stuff I put to use tonight!

The only thing I did wrong was mounting the horns. It works well if you know that you're going to ground them on the mounting bolts. You can make up your horn grounds first, and mount the ring terminals on the mounting bolts, and then mount the horns.

Otherwise, it's really not that hard. Also, this image of the wiring setup is a little easier to read then the instructions that come with the horns.
