I just spliced in another connector when I added my 2 tone horn. Works fine. MUST SELL - ECM computer new for a 98 V6 mtx + pats Now trolling in a Red Nissan 4 x 4

I purchased the Freeway Blasters and they are very loud. They report them to be like 130db of sound. The car came with a horn on the driver side only but the second horn mounts on the passenger side with very little modifications. any 2 horn set should work. One will be a "High" note while the other will be a "Low" note. Good luck, it makes a big difference in sound.

The factory connector is rectangular. I shaved the corners to make it more oval shaped so it would fit in a radio shack connector. That wire and another wire was crimped into the + connector for the 1st horn. That second wire was then connected to the + connector on the 2nd horn. I daisy-chained the grounds the same way and ended it with a ring connector. I sandwiched the ring between the frame and the horn mount. I used the factory L (or something) bracket. Um... hope that makes sense. morbid 2000 Contour SVT (black)

So on each of the female connectors going to the possitive terminal on the horn, you'll want 2 wires crimped. My horn is currently out with the wiring attached... if I remember when I get home, I'll snap some pics. morbid 2000 Contour SVT (black)
