I'm installing a basic dual-horn air horn setup in my '82 280zx.

The installation instructions don't say what gauge wire I should use to wire the air horn compressor to the relay and the relay to the battery (just that I should use a 20 amp inline fuse). I don't see any amp rating on the compressor.

What gauge wire do I need to use? How would I normally know what gauge to use for any given application?

Thanks!

14ga wire is more than enough to hook up air horn. Make sure you hookup a relay to it.
