Just fitted a Stebel twin mounted air horn to my 90,sounds much much better,instead of something that sounds like it belongs on a 50cc moped.

It came with a relay to link it up direct to the battery,but i have just used the existing wires from the normal horn,my question is,would it be even louder if i linked it via a relay and direct link to battery?

You'd be better wiring it into a relay matto. On the relay there are 4 terminals.

Wire from terminal 30 to a fuse to battery +
Wire from terminal 85 to earth
Wire from terminal 86 to switch to a fuse and again to battery +
Wire from terminal 87 to horn compressor + compressor - to earth

Cheers chaps.
I wernt sure if the relay and extra amps from direct battery link would make it any louder but did think about the extra current and the existing thin wires,looks like i gotta get me wire strippers and crimpers out again.
Would it be best to feed new connection from battery or is there somewhere under the bonnet with a high ampage i can splice into?

You'll be OK off the battery but don't forget inline fuses on the feeds to terminals 30 and 86.

try and follow an exsisting wire/loom that is going past yer horn/relay that way you can tape it all up so it looks nice
