I am a little confused as to how to wire these babies up.
I have read this post ----> https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=273600
And I have read this page ---> http://www.bseries.net/html/garage/horn.php --- and I am still confused as to which wire goes where, and whether or
not to use the relay---> that was supplied in the kit. I have tried a few different setups using the relay and not using the relay, but the only one that has sort of worked is below.

When I first Wired them up, well wired one of the horns up, I cut the original factory horn wires that connected to the factory horn. Then I connected those two wires into one "disconnect female terminal." I grounded the Horn, and connected the terminal from the factory wires to the open terminal on the Horn. Then I reconnected battery and the horn started to blast me out of the garage! Well at least I know the horn works, but the wiring is screwed up somehow, b\c I didn’t even have to press the horn button in the car to get it to work. It just HONKS by itself and it never stops!! DOH! So any insight as to how to get these things to work would be great! Any detail information would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

This belongs in the horn forum y0!

 

uhmmmm...?

 

to be safe i used the relay on my car.
used the stock wires to activate the relay and used batter power to power the horns.

 

Well I used the relay, but the horns just blast by themselves. I have connector "30" connected to the battery on the positive side. The relay is grounded to the car using the "85" connection, the original wires from the stock horn are connected to the "86" connector and the Hellas are connected together to the "87" connection. Is this right? Or do i need to change something?

Sorry the beseries instructions are a little incomplete. I had a relay chart on the site somewhere but can't seem to find it.

You NEED to use the relay for 2 reason that I have found.
1) The horn switchs will burn up after a while that is the point of a relay to to handle power.

2) The volume without the relay is much less

I will keep looking for the diuagram. Basically you will need to hook the wire going to the horns now to the relay, put a wire direct from the battery on the relay and there are 2 others but it has been a while since I did my install.

 

Ok, found the S2k Button relay diagram but it should work for discussion purposes. I am going from my best recollection so this might be trial and error on your part.

30 = Take wire going to stock horn and run it up to the relay (I suggest mounting the relay in the negine bay)
85 = Wire going to the Battery (Or constant 12V source)
86 = Ground to Chassis
87 = Wire to the New Horns
