Rivco Pt.# ELCHRN Magnum electric horn kit. $81.99 and Rivco EH290 horn hardware kit for America $39.96. Thought this was the correct one. Thanks for the help.
I'm not sure if opinions on the topic of horns are subjective... maybe a bit. My mind kept wanting two things... loud(est) and cool(est). The loud part is self-explanatory, but cool? Well cool meant they looked good and possessed a great sound... like a train at a railway crossing, or an 18 wheeler tearing on by with a wave.
Like you I bought the RIVCO Magnums. I really wanted the RIVCO Trumpets but just wasn't sure how to get them mounted without looking stupid. So I ended up with the Magnums and yes, I had to wire in a relay to take the load away from the switch. But the reason the relay is required is because the horns draw a lot of power which in turn means LOUDER!!
But are RIVCO Magnums "the loudest electric horns you can buy," according to RIVCO? I don't know... but again, they are LOUD!! And feisty too!! With two notes blasting away it sets up a certain harmonic that is VERY attention getting!!
Of course the single-note Thunderbird horn is WAY better than stock... no argument there. And it is cheap and easier to install. Just saying the RIVCO magnums would win a pi$$ing (blasting) contest, hands down.
Just a sec... I'll run outside and blast the horn for you. Bet you can hear it all the way from here!!!
PS... I provide this post in the spirit of being helpful. It is in no way intended to be competitive or opinionated, as in... "my horn's better than your horn." (but it is!)  
Live to love, love to live.
