Horn upgrade/electrical question

[Pilot]

Upgrading from the original equipment "El Cheapo" drop in horn on my 350 DA to a dual trumpet horn. The new one draws 8 amps wheras the old one drew 4.

Does anyone know if the existing wiring will handle this? Is it a safety issue?

Thanks.

What size is the existing wiring?

Put in an air horn. Worth every penny.

Are you using the same location? What horn will you be using? I would love to replace mine, but havent gone to the effort.

As i recall there were two horn threads out here... one of them was called "duck fart" horn... the other was something like "coast guard made fun of my horn"... may be some good info there.
