If you're buddy is wanting trash, then give him trash. I'd amp them, just for the fact that you're saying they need to be able to be turned off and on, and a simple switch in series with the remote line would allow for the amp to quickly be turned off. I wouldn't recomend going underneath of the vehicle for the speakers, especially if this is a daily driver, you're just asking for trouble going that route. In the front grill, behind bumpers, that sort of thing is your best bet for a safe installation. You'll want to go with marine grade speakers at the very least, but a horn would probably be the most durable.

He said that he wanted the pa horn, so i think that is what well be doing. I was looking onlie and most of the horns i seen were only 15 to 40 watt max wouldnt i blow them if i connect them to an amp? he wants 2 by the way. I havent looked at his front grille yet but thats were i was hoping i would have enought room to mount them there. Is there any other way I can make an on off switch for the horn only?

If the trunk dont rattle then its not loud.
If it's to loud then you're to old.

what would happen if i did a switch in series with the horn? and could i tap into the deck speaker leads since the horn is only 15-20 watts rms?

depends on the impedance of the horn whether you can just tap it onto a speaker wire. personally i would just get a small amp and keep it separate from the inside system.

I agree it would be trash too. They sell those marine speakers from crutchfield which are designed for outdoor use. Make a small fiberglass enclosure call it a day:(

Good Lord, do the public a favor and dont let this happen. The PA doodie is the funniest thing I've seen in this forum yet. Opiniarian: Buy a trailer, throw a generator(gas powered) on it. Tow some boom around town. YEEHAA!
This is what I do for FUN!

Earlier I stated that this is not my idea or recommendation. If I dont do it he will just pay the shop to do it. Im trying to get paid. But thanks for the opinions they are all welcome. all the horns I seen are 8 ohm what kind of amp could i get with that ohm load?

Just get a cheap amplifier.  25 watts per channel is fine.
