Use your voltmeter to determine which is your horn wire under the dash. (avoid the airbag wire!).

The horn should ground,as in most vehicles. Therefore you will need a constant hot wire and the horn wire should ground.

I was actually thinking of doing this also. The stock horn is way too wimpy IMO. But everyone i spoke to said their wouldn't be enough room in the engine bay. I think they said i needed to replace the fans with electric slim ones and then move some stuff around to make the compressor fit!

There shouldn't be a problem with fitting, I've seen and heard an air horn fitted up to a Soarer... I need one too... for anyone that decides to cut me off in traffic.

Did they come with a relay, and does anyone know if the stock horns use a relay?
So are these the big chrome ones, which fender are you going to mount them on?
If you were in Texas you could get some of those cattle horns too.
jk
When I put a set of air horns on another car, I just ran power from the old horn plug/wires, by the radiator.
