Question on the horn ASAP

if i was replacing the stock horn with two new ones like in the DIY do you just tap the wire on the first horn and run it to the second?

I think it depends on how much current is being drawn, you could fry the relay or the wires and have a possible fire if you draw too much on one circuit. Someone correct me if im wrong but use a bigger relay or 2 one for each horn?

grenloch101056 is an unknown quantity at this point

without a doubt you should use a relay. Purchase one that can handle the amps of both the aftermarket horns and use the cable coming from the OEM horn circuit to activate the relay

the cable coming from the oem horn may be a bit much (ampere wise) you may want to find the OEM switching wire that holds the oem relay open, it will be better in the long run, and probably have less problems.
