I am still hoping that somebody can give me a suggestion of where to tap into for power for my airhorns. Could I put a spade connector on the wire and hook into one of the empty terminals in the fuse box?

To be completely honest you may just wanna get so amp kit thick gauge wire and pick up power at the battery itself.

I was considering that, but it seems kind of ridiculous. Generally I am running wires from the front to the back for an amp. Now I have to go back to front for a horn. Shurly there must be one wire capable of the horn. Why can't the post for jump starting the car work? It should be a direct connection to the battery itself, right?

yes, i was under the impression you tried that already. You may be able to go to the alt as well.

I did try it and it didnt work-in fact, the entire post lost its power for a while. But, it SHOULD work, right? If it's purpose is to jump start a car, surely it should be able to power a horn. From what I read about problems jumping the battery, perhaps there is a wiring problem in its design.
