I put a 20 amp(like it says in the manual that comes with it) inline fuse on my horn and one installed in a friends car. She has an lx btw, and my car is an si. However, I later realized it wasn't necessary when my friends horn stopped working soon after it was installed. It turns out the fuse for the horn in the car's fusebox blew, which is rated at 10 or 15 amps (I forget). She replaced the fuse multiple times and it keeps failing. The worst part is that the fuse controls both the horn and the rear tail lights, so when the horn stops working so do your brake lights. I will be fixing this soon by putting a relay in and directly getting power from the battery, not the original horn power wire. I will use the horn power wire to switch the relay on and off.
