Horn wiring question. - SV650.org

I've put in Motrax Hootaz horns on ma SV. Ran a feed from the battery with an inline fuse, and used a relay etc.... just from the info that I could find on th e forum. Then it dawned on me. So I know that I need to connect the horns to the frame for earth but how? I know it seems stupid but

lol

Is the fixing stud the earth ?

Just run a cable to the battery neutral.

That makes sense. Can I connect to two together first and run just one cable though?

You can use a 2 core cable yes

I'm not sure I know what you mean. The stuff I bought from Halfrauds was multi core - but rated to 20amps or something like that.

Well to connect to the relay thing I took a feed from each horn, connected them into one spade connector. So to save buying more cable I can use whats left, connect the two horns together and run a single wire from there to the negative terminal.

I know I'm a total noob!
Thanks!!

Yeh that should be fine. As long as the cable is the right size for the horns
