      Try and tilt the horn so the opening is pointed down a little more. It will still be loud, but it will keep the water from entering and killing the horn.

          10 Gauge. Its what I had on hand. It might work just fine with thinner gauge.

            When I did mine I used some of that heavy speaker wire the millennial crowd uses for the BOOM BOOM stereo in their cars. Not sure what the guage was but it's much more flexible and easier to route than regular electrical wire.

              Direct Battery Ground

              If you really want to get the best results for horns or any other accessory, improve all of the chassis grounds to direct battery grounds. Chassis grounds are only barely good enough to burn a light bulb.

                Did that long ago Mike. The factory frame grounds are horrible.
