I can definately go buy some wire but how do you put a fuse in the line? .   Logged     I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather..

I think they say 16ga as well, but 14 would be a better choice for hot and ground wires. welcome to the wonderful world of electronics.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #370581 Milateket (User) North Of The Boarder Platinum Boarder Posts: 1844 Re:wolo bad boy airhorn 1 Year ago   scotth1116 wrote: What would happen without using the 14ga wire and fuse? I can definately go buy some wire but how do you put a fuse in the line? . Use the heavier gauge wire. It draws lots to initiate the compressor. The thicker wire will decrease the heat too. And yes, put an inline fuse in before the relay on the power source. So, you run a heavy guage wire from the positive feed on the batter and place the fuse on this run before the relay switch. Keep the heavy guage wire from the relay to the horn. I initially had the negative run back to the batter but was having some issues with it not grounding properly (go figure). Last night i moved the ground to a bolt on the ignition area so it is grounded to the frame. Should be just fine now... hope that helps... I used 10 or 12g... just can't remember..but i think the latter.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/04/29 19:30 By Milateket.   Loren North Of The Boarder Cape Breton   The administrator has disabled public write access. #448972 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:wolo bad boy airhorn 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Anyone having issues with their Wolo Bad Boy yet?

Sits below the rec/reg, horn points forward.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #449162 Edge51 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 789 Re:wolo bad boy airhorn 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have the Rivco dual air horn. comes with a compressor which fits under seat.

By having the compressor under the seat, does the extended length of the air hose to the horns present any problems?   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #449168 BTM. Samson (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:wolo bad boy airhorn 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Mounted our Black Wolo horn on a S bracket that we welded up, located on the front left side engine block bolt, we removed the stock horn mount bracket as it was in the way ((( what else is new.... never can have too many extra parts LOL )))) ran 16 guage wire up the front downtube and along the back bone frame, then solder on a 30 amp fuse and hooked it direct to the battery, a very clean set-up, also sealed up all electrical connections with shrink tube, now were looking for a cool look'in MEDALLION to cover the top of the compressor!
