    I have just bought the wolo model 308-2t sound blaster horn, and i already have the wolo model 200 and along with the original horns to my tundra im trying to hooked up at same time, its loud now but also i blow the 10amp fuse after 1 push of the button, so how could i have my new loud horn system work all the time without blowing out the fuse? Can any help out with a remedy for what I'm trying to accomplish?

    Im thinking i may need to install 2 10amp inline fuse holders to the other 2 horns, would that work?

    Some Mods :) See build thread for details
    Might want to do a relay and pull the power from the battery with a fuse rated for the wire size.

    When i did the wolo model 200 in my geo tracker with its original horn i never had the issue of blowing a fuse but i guess since im trying to do pretty much 6 horns all together ill get some relays and inline fuses thanks guys ill see if that does it, if not ill just try to just get and hook up 1 set of horns that would be the same loudness

    Curious as well^^^^
    But yes you are overloading the stock circuit of 10 amps. Which btw is alot.... your horns are pulling some serious current. Find out how much they draw and run a seperate circuit using a big fuse, bigger wire and a nice relay. Similar to an aftermarket offroad light circuit....
