j.reed Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 1) Remove intake, grill, unplug factory horns http://www.jreednet.com/cars/lgt/hornwalkthrough/2.JPG Here are your stock horns (located in front of the passanger side front tire, below the air intake infront of the resonator), on the right is the unit that makes the chip sounds for the remote entry. I chose to unplug the horns and use some metal pieces to slide into the plug and connect to the relay via some wire. You can also leave them plugged in and splice into the wire. 2) mount horns http://www.jreednet.com/cars/lgt/hornwalkthrough/5.JPG I removed this little holder for the hood release cable to mount the drivers side horn, the passangers side should be empty (this hole is for right hand drive cars). I then places some misc bolts and nuts and washers in their place to mount the horns. No contact with the grill or radiator happens when the mounting bracket touches the cross beam flush. http://www.jreednet.com/cars/lgt/hornwalkthrough/7.JPG 3) mount relay No pic here, but down in the well where the horns are there is a ground nearby, towards the engine. I removed it, used the screw to mount the relay, and connected the relay's ground directly to it. 4) run cables http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/sjyankee006/hellas/hellawiring.jpg Follow this diagram and run the cables to the wheel well where we placed the relay. I ran cable over to the battery and the horns via the cross beam in front of the radiator. I ran in inside the beam alongside the hood release cable.

suds2250 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I just recieved my Supertones and will be wiring them up. Could someone tell me if the diagram above retain the stock horns? I would like to use all of them if I could. 335HP/360Tq VF-22/1820 clone with Meth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rony Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 With the use of a relay, like the above diagram, you could retain the factory horns. Don't know why you would, if you don't want to remove them, just simply disconnect them. My Car vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 BUMP - did this ever get fully written? also... why is the relay needed? Can't I just tap into the 12v wire going to the stock horn? Usually a relay is to use a low voltage / low current signal wire to mechanically switch 12vdc to something. But the stock horn has to get 12v somewhere right? Let me know your thoughts. I will post my walkthrough when I am done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I used them on the stock wiring for a year and no issues. A relay is helpful (more output possibly), but not necessary for just a pair. Running four...you will need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running four...you will need one. ok thanks. Well I am running 8 supertones. 4 in the grill, 1 in each front fender, and 2 behind the rear bumper WRX style :lol: ...kidding So it will be like playing old school twisted metal with the supersonic special weapon that makes all other cars around you bounce. damn I loved twisted metal... maybe I should pull the 'ol playstation out.

suds2250 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Here are a couple pics of my supertones. I used the hella relay and the diagram in post #3 to wire everything up. The relay is mounted in the left corner of the grille opening (you can see the blue wire connectors) using an existing threaded hole. The horns themselves I mounted using an existing hole in the cross support with a bolt and lock nut.

jim1969 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 did you leave the stock horns in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds2250 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yes, I left the stock horns in. I t-tapped into the stock horn as shown in the diagram above, so the supertones and the stocks all are working, although you can't hear the stockers! 335HP/360Tq VF-22/1820 clone with Meth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 what did you mount the horns to? It's kinda hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds2250 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 There is a hole in the vertical steel beam in front of the radiator. The hellas come with their own bracket, so I took a long bolt and lock washers and mounted them using that hole. 335HP/360Tq VF-22/1820 clone with Meth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just ordered a set of these and will mount them as you have done, looks a little menacing behind the grill like that. After having them there for a while though, do they get damaged by stone chips, or are they tough enough to withstand the occasional impact ?

mach_six Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Stcok relay didn't work for some cars. I know with the relay in place even teh stockers sound louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I, too, like how you have yours configured, suds! That might just have convinced me to get an aftermarket grill, and to position a pair of Supertones to supplement my current aux-horn + stockers combo.
