Is it acceptable to add these to the existing system or replace them?

It is not recommended to leave the existing horns in place when adding the new speakers. Keep in mind that the wiring to the horn(s) in your car is not designed for the load that would be drawn with 4 horns. Additional horns can be added, but it would require additional separate wiring for the added horns, using a solenoid to trigger the added speakers.

I suppose you could add them, but the OEM single horn on my Ford Ranger was such a POS that I replaced it with the dual PIAA horns. I even used the original mounting point. My Ranger's electrical connector was some proprietary piece so I took the other end off the orig. horn and put it on the PIAAs. That way it plugged right in and I didn't have to butcher the orig. harness. Your vehicle's connector might not require any changes. Its a nice, dual tone sound that, while not as loud as air horns, is much louder than the original.

Can't tell you for sure. They are great for replacing existing horns, or for adding to a machine that had no previous horn. I guess you'd have to try adding them to an existing horn system. I don't know how you could damage the new horns as long as you wired them in parallel and not series.

No you should be fine to just change out the hardware and use the same guts that you already have.

These are replacement units. Therefore, you would cut the old units off and then splice in the new ones (with the tools and connectors provided).

you can if you get an adapter. It is a small orifice that fits into the original system.

They *are* pricey, but the only other option is to buy the multi-pack. Or you could replace the whole thing, but that could cost more *and* require re-wiring. When we did ours, we got multi-packs and then one or two singles to even out the number. Fortunately you only have to do this every few years.

Yes... Just take out the screws, position the new one, and reinsert the screws....

Taylor P. Our systems do not use any proprietary parts, so you are free to upgrade anything you want, over the life of your system. And proper installation of new components does *NOT* void your warranty.

I really don't know, we saw them on sale and bought them, so when our old units fail we can just replace the whole thing. Sorry.

Based on your computer memory specs, it should be. It's good if you're looking to replace. Else if you want to add more to your current system, you should look into getting the same brand and size that you have already.

Only if you need them to operate independently. Your installation techie should be able to resolve the question for you.

These would be used as a replacement. There's no need to have 2 and probably wouldn't work.

As stated before, it is simple to install them... its a bit more complicated to get them working properly. I would recommend not using them if you have small IT knowledge. For it to run smothley there are quite a few twicks you have to do on the host. Over all they have been working great for us!

Yes. It may have some programming differences, but if just swapping out it should be fine

Yes you can, however my unit seems to forget what was set into it. In my opinion these newer units are less reliable than the older units I have.

I would safely say yes. They are around $10 and prevent disappointment upon installing and realizing you need them.

Correct - just remove the old unit and replace with the new unit. Should take less than one minute...

I have installed them in this type of application. I have had no issue with it.
