I got a set of older Cadillac Fleetwood/Buick Roadmaster horns (4 note horn system Cadillac Buick Park avenue A,C,D,F Train)

(https://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-CADILLA...d=401450650313&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850 that

sound great on the original cars -- my Mom had them on her car back in tha day (like mid '90's)

There are four (4) horns in the set and I need some help in how to hook the up so I avoid frying the electrical system -- was thinking just wire into existing relay nut a guy at local shop that does train horns, headlights stereo's etc said I should do a totally separate circuit with a pair of relays and separate switch

I'd really like them to just replace the wimpy factory horn - suggestions?

Thanks for the detailed reply's -- I really appreciate your help !!

I'm in FLorida and I'm not aware of any horn restrictions that these Cadillac horns would exceed and I'd like to use them in place of the factory "wimp" horns--my initial concern is the size of the wire actually going to the horns. The wire that's there seems a lot smaller than the wires GM used to connect the horns I got -- thus my concern --could I just unplug the existing horns and mount the 4-trumpet Caddy horns and extend the existing wiring without overloading the factory wire ??

THanks for your help --
