The stock Jimny horn is actually a motorcycle horn :laugh: made by Denso. It draws ~4 A, a lot less than a regular car horn and much-much less than a powerful horn.

I got the smallest Stebel (regular, not air horn) thinking it would fit in the same place ... it didn't. Its current requirement is much higher, about 20 A if I remember correctly. So I put a relay instead the original horn and wired it directly to the battery. Major difference in sound now (and when it breaks, I'll replace it with an air horn).

Pics follow. Here's the original horn:
