Mitsuba Arena horns - Wiring them up... Help!

[ADIKTD]

Hey,

I just got some 2nd hand Mitsuba Arena horns and they look sick as!
I'm just wondering where all the wires go.. haha, Anyone got pics of hooking these up? they look pretty intricate...

Any help greatly appreciated!

Josh - Albany - Auckland (Just incase you wanna come and hook them up for a box

[fx gt]

how many wires came with?
all i got is two horns,hooked them up to a switch inside car.

Hey man,
came with 2 snail horns, a black box thing and a wiring loom with probably a good 6 - 8 wires that need homes
Looks like a mission!

Any ideas?

[fx gt]

yeah mine are like snails to
all i did is ground them seperatly but ran the same + for them both, to the switch inside then to + in engine bay
didnt get no fancy box

[ADIKTD]

wanna come and look at them? I see you go or went to Rangi - Me too! Haha, Im pretty localish aye or could meet you at the Rangi hangout... Windsor - haha... Up to you man, Yeah, Mine have got like a lil amp thing maybe, Who knows...

Probably just a relay box. Does each horn have 2 terminals on it?

[ADIKTD]

Sure Does... I'll post some photos up aye...

[ADIKTD]

Ok so this is the set...



Im guessing this is the Relay box?

It has an attached black cable - Im also guessing earth, and a random unknown blue one



This looks like the power cord? Do I connect this to the battery?



These are obviously the ones that connect to the horns themselves... but what about random bluey over there?



This lil bugger...



If anyone can make sense of this it would be awesome!

Thanks

The 2nd pic also has a random greeny with a bullet terminal - ?? Man I am such a noob to this... If I was to get someone else to do it - On the North Shore of Auckland - Anyone got any ideas... or is it really easy? I have an AE101 FXGT with the gay est horn in the world...

It'll just be a relay box I'd guess. Since you have terminals on the horns like that then just hook them up with a relay, or they'll probably be right through factory wiring

Find you horn, see if it has 2 wires and hook up to one of them.

If you only have one horn on the car and want to hook both of these up then I'd be using a relay

[ADIKTD]

So I may be able to cut out the middle man (Relay Box) and just hook these bad boys up to the factory wires?

[Lloyd]

If you have one factory horn then you can probably just put one of these in its place. If you wat to fit both then go for a relay. They are only about $8 from Repco

Failing that you can muck around trying to work out the box you got with it.

[ADIKTD]

If I muck around with this whats the worst thing that could happen? I couldn't do anything bad to my car aye... And that red wire is def the power wire aye?

[ADIKTD]

I dont even know what a relay is or what it does to be honest... I'm just gunna have a play tomorrow - Failing that I'll take it to a shop, If I was to buy a relay from Repco what would I ask for?

Thanks for all your help! I'm off to sleep now...

[ADIKTD]

Well, I gave it a go and got a tiny bit of noise out of them when connected to the wires which were already there... however when I add the relay in to the equation, i get nothing... does anyone have any idea or know anyone that could help?
thanks.

try just unplugging your factory horn (at the horn itself) and plug the wires on to one of ya fancy ones

[ADIKTD]
