how many amps does this horn need to work ?

I don't know exactly but it's not big enough or powerful enough to draw much

This horn uses standard connections.I think it will work great for your vehicle.and PS.. It is louder than the factory horn...

What power supply are you using to connect them to when testing? You would need a car battery. A 12V wall adapter will NOT have 10 amp output to be able to drive these horns. Most 12v home sources only have 1/2 amp out put you need a FULL 10AMPS. Hope that helps.

If you have an existing electric accuated air horn then you're good to go. If not you'll need wire, some type of horn button and an inline fuse. This horn is LOUD! Its also very big. Make sure you have room for it. The kit came with 1/4 inch air hose and a few compression fittings. I think I spent 20 bucks or so to finish the install

If you only use one tone (Hi, or Low, not both horns, same circuit), no, you do not need to install a relay; just connect it using the original horn wires (polarity does not matter). If you are using both the High, and the Low tone horns, wired in parallel (best option), then I would recommend a relay, and direct connect to the battery (with an inline fuse) for maximum power transfer, and maximum loudness. I used two sets of both horns, on two separate motorcycles, in parallel. I also used a relay, controlled by the OEM horn circuit, with a direct connect to the batteries, for maximum volume. A relay is less than $10 at any automotive parts store (Wal-Mart likely has the lowest price). If you need help with electrical circuits, here is a great book's ISBN-10: 0760327165, "Motorcycle Electrical Systems: Troubleshooting and Repair (Motorbooks Workshop)". Check your local library for a copy, or purchase it here, on Amazon. Cheers!

This is the grade air horn but you do need an air tank along with a small compressor. For the system to work.

Sorry can't remember. The seller should have such info. Should be adequate for most amps or ears.

I ride in a super busy car intensive area, so I have only used the horn at full power. I can tell you that changing the power, on the fly, is nearly impossible. However, even at full power, I can modulate the sound by just lightly pressing the button. This works well for pedestrians. Safe riding, hope this helps. Again, I think this is a great product.

humm...not really. I didn't see it. Threw away the box already. I would think it is though. The little plug is on the bottom side of the horn so that helps.

Probably. But, I strongly advise against it. They draw a pretty good load each. A stock m/c horn switch may not be able to handle it and those are $$$ to replace. My advice is to use the two OEM horn leads to fire a relay that carries power directly from the battery to the horns (through a fuse, of course). That way, the horn switch only has to run the relay (very, very small load) and the relay's robust contacts fire the horns. Use a common fog lamp relay with numbered connections and there are two (+) outlet connections #87. Plug the horn + into them 1 to 1 and then ground the horns to a common (-) lead back to the battery. I have used this setup on many motorcycles. In short: run a (+) through a fuse to the input on the relay(#30). Connect the + and - leads from the original horn to the switch terminals #85 & #86 on the relay. Then connect the + from each horn to the two output terminals on the relay #87. Next, connect the - horn terminals to a common ground wire back to the (-) battery terminal. Hope this helps!

Mine is on my Harley, fastened it to original horn mount. At 1st there was hardly any sound out of it, so I added a horn relay (5.99 from Autozone) which puts 12v from battery right to horn, you still use MC horn button to activate. Now its blasts loud!

I installed it on my Yamaha motorcycle and I decided to use a relay just in case. It's nice and compact and very loud. Without knowing how much current your jeep can supply to the horn, I would strongly suggest using a relay. I don't remember but it may come with its own relay. If not you can get one for a couple of bucks anywhere.

I hard wired mine on a Ford Truck, not sure how the Honda horn is configured, although any 12V automotive system will power the horn. You may need to design a mounting bracket depending on your application - I kept the original horns and added this one. I had to build one for my truck.

I am not an expert, so please check with a qualified tech. That being said, I simply drilled two holes where my previous horn was for the air hoses to get through. Then I ran those hoses to the small compressor. They included one with the kit, but I purchased the upgraded one that looks the same but is a little bigger. The compressor wires then get attached to the relay, horn switch and positive and negative wires, one with a fuse. For something without a large tank attached to it, I can't believe how loud it gets. Quite impressive.

Replacement horn, set of 2, can use 1, 2 sounds better, nice mellow euro tone, (if you want loud, get a set of air horns), hz= tone, higher db= louder horn. Cheers

I think you should be fine,the alarm duty cycle is usually short and this horn is fairly inexpensive. I'd try it. Good luck.

you should use a 20 amp fuse on the side that you are hooking the horn on to.
