Default Add a second horn to my Vue

I want to add a second horn to my 06 Vue but can't find how to get to the original one to install the second horn in the same area. Can anyone help with where the original horn is and how to remove the panel or grill piece to get to it?
Thanks

Certainly, an additional horn could be added, but that would put a strain on the horn relay and the electrical circuit that actually provides power to the horn. A better idea (since you are planning on getting another horn anyway) would be to buy one loud enough to take care of your needs, and small enough to fit where the OEM horn was located ....

Do you think it could be behind the bumper?

The horn is behind the left side headlamp assembly.
1 bolt
The horn as Archer pointed out is relayed. I think adding a second one would be ok so long as the draw is not above 10 amp. (your fuse rating)
Just make sure to parallel them

ALSO BE AWARE. the horn relay logic is part of the body control module...which is part of the airbag system.
Just be careful

Thanks for the replies. Still don't know how to remove the front vents to get to the horn. Can't see any screws. On the relay handeling a 2nd horn...I suspect most relays are made to handle 2 horns, even if the manufacturer only intends to install just 1 horn.

Default Finally got it.

I got the new horn installed thanks to your help. It finally dawned on me to remove the headlight assy to get to the horn. Didn't think of that at first. The new horn came with a bracket and it just bolted right onto the original bracket. Sounds so much better than the one note samba.
Appreciate the help.
