Does anyone know how much AMPS this horn uses? I set one up in my truck with the 10amp fuse for my truck and the fuse blew after the 2nd use. Thanks

You need a 15 amp and ,If this one blews try the 20 amp fuse. but the 15 amp is the right fuse for it.Eddie O. Murray, Piedmont,Alabama

After ur ?? I ran across a blog where a guy is powering a 350 watt car amp and a 12" mtx sub. "Im using a 250watt AT PC power supply that provides 10amps on the 12+v line. With this configuration I can easily power my amp and get great house shaking music now in my room."So rated at 30 amps continuous, u should have no problem. Is your input power fuse 30 amps or less? I would double check the maximum power requirements of my gear.This is not the quietest power supply, but u will quickly drown out any noise from this.

I am not for sure what the draw is on the amp. I have it tied into my batter with a toggle switch to turn it off and on. I bought this for my rzr, which is in storage right now. I will try to get out there and take a look at the fuse size for you.

Using the famous internet search engine....each trumpet draws 6 amps, and so the combined (2) trumpets draws 12 amps. I don't know what the maximum amperage you can push through them. This is a standard, reliable horn set.

Barb, you might need more wire, depending on where the horn is located. I had my original horn replaced (because now most car horns are weak) so additional wire was not needed.You will really like this horn.

It blew a fuse in my car at an end on inflating a first tire. I was adding 7psi. this was 30A fuse (2 sockets on this circuit). I returned it because of this event. I didn't want to experiment whether it was a single event or failure of this one inflator, or typical over-current.

Yes, but why? If you want more attention getting sound, you will need to install a second horn with a different pitch. Also, if you are using your original car horn circuitry and relay, it may or may not handle the additional amperage.

I purchased this item for a friend of mine. I called him & asked if he new the amperage. His reply was that it replaced an exiting unit & fit perfect & it worked off 12 volts. This item was used in his RV & replaced his old unit which is used to detect propane leaks. Hope this info is helpful.

I believe it draws around 10 amps, I myself had not had any fuses blown, most of the time I hook up directly to battery although I have had it running off my trailer light connector on back bumper with no problems.

I don't know how many amps it is pulling, but I have not blown a fuse in my car - there is a fuse inside of the connector and that should blow before a fuse in your vehicle does.

its a general use horn...2 wires...its probably from a mounting perspective it may not mount properly...if you have the space to mount it then you would be ok

Only used in Truck. Have not blown any fuses. The only thing is it does take longer to heat things up.

I had two of these in a gmc sierra extended cab in box under the rear seat and with a 500 watt amp it sounded bad ass and hit really hard. But I know your question is how much and I don't know. The most I put was 500 to both bridged. But I believe they are rated 500 a piece. Hope this helps.

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.

Did you try replacing the fuse? It is underneath where the plug connects on the amp. Call BK customer support if that doesn't work. They are terrific.
