Thanks!

I had both the Hella Supertones and the stock OEM horn installed (switched) for a month or so. They were switched such that when the switch was on both horns would go off with the horn button, with the switch off only the OEM horn would go off. I'm not sure what the OEM horn draws but I think the Supertones draw 6A each which by themselves is fine for the 7.5A fuses.

If your horn will draw close to or more than 7.5A just hook them up with a relay
