Nice!

One of the reviews on Amazon talks about the Wolo blowing the 15 amp fuse on his Mazda. Anybody here experience this? Is this a legit concern?

One suggestion, make sure you have a 20-amp circuit. The first time I layed on the horn for a driver who pulled out in front of me I fried my 15 amp fuse.

It will blow the fuse if you lay on it. If you honk it in short bursts, its fine.

^I put in a larger fuse....the brake lights and horn are on the same circuit (in an NA at least)! If you're slamming on the brakes, you're likely laying on the horn.

I wonder how long that clear plastic tubing between the compressor and the trumpets will last?

I had that Wolo on my WRX. It sounded better than stock but wasn't any louder.

10-15 years? They only that was on a parts car I bought a while back was at least that old and worked fine.

@ sammm @OZMDD

Before I upped the fuse (from 10a to 15a, I think), a second or less on the horn, and foot on the brakes would blow the fuse.

Thanks sammm. So, for the electrically challenged, it's okay to change to a higher amperage with no negative impact elswhere?

I am on the horn for at least three seconds, usually. It takes at least that long for the violater to locate my little silver chameleon of a Miata.

[sammm]

The electrically correct thing to do is install a relay for the horn. I haven't noticed any negative affects by upping that 1 fuse by 5-amps.
