In case anyone was wondering if it was easy or how to do it, I have just setup 2 horns together to produce a 2 tone horn sound like a car. I tried a couple different ways and here they are:
Setup 1: Daisy chain horns
Easy enough right? Hook up the positive horn wire to one horn then connect the negative to a different horn and then connect the remaining terminals on each horn together by 1 wire. It's the same way a christmas trees lights are, so it may require less extra wiring but will end up in both horns not working if one of them dies.
Setup 2: Parallel
Wire together 2 horns by connecting the positive and negative terminals to the same terminals on another horn, then hook up the wires as you would normally to one of the horns, and bam you got a 2 tone setup. This setup has the benefit of being able to continue function of one horn if one of the horns die.
Tuning tones: I tune them by ear to give off a harmonic tone instead of just 2 random tones together. There is a screw on the back of most horns to tune the tone. If you tune it too far it won't make a noise so be careful.
Btw guys I use 16 gauge wire for horns, you probably don't want to go too far from the gauge of the harness wire ya know?
