    Hella super tones or sharp tones are cheap and you can use a spade connector so you can crimp on a new connector. and clock the horn to get to the connector without needing to tap, or solder in more wire, or add a couple more connectors and run both sets of horns

    Both sets as in four horns? I might do this. I’d rather not have to solder.

    so the horns don't pull much power. but yes I've almost gone to 4 horns, the stock wires will push both horns so build a "splitter harness, run one lead from one side of spades to the original harness and then another to the other pretty easy, honestly just split the dual horn wiring into 4horns with some spade connectors and some wire

    I run Delco-Remy horns that came as an option on some old Cadillacs, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles.

    These horns sometimes came in a four-note system- A, C, D, and F. When they are played together, they sound kind of reminiscent of a train horn.

    Easy enough to replace with Hella, or Hella style, horns. I swapped mine out for a set of Slickspeed Hella copies and they have worked great. I did add a relay just because of the extra amperage draw. Probably doesn't really need it but I had everything for it in the garage so I did it.
