Which one are you looking at?
The website is fun, I've been scaring the wits out of my work colleagues with the sample files.
If you are going for a big horn or a double set up I would recommend driving them through a relay.
I had a set of Fiamm Snail horns that drew 9.5 amps which is a bit much for the switch gear.

That kit actually comes with a relay which is a good thing.
I want a proper klaxon but they're about 50 notes, I had seen a horn that make a cow sound - well funny.

I'd fit one if I were you.
The switching action causes sparking in the switch and can lead to problems.
The worst case is that the switch gear contacts actually weld together give you constant horn.
