Horn Wild...Radiator Question

Hi All,

Like many, I was not happy with the bleep of the OEM horns. With the help of the great tutorials on this site, I removed one OEM horn and added two Hella Supertones. The sound is much better.

But, I want an even louder sound! I've bought 4-tone GM horns (4 horns) and plan to wire them to a momentarily switch as an auxiliary horn. Here's what I'm trying to do. How To Make Your Car Sound Like a Freight Train

My current set-up is seen in the first picture. The second photo is how I'd like to mount the new horns--four across (note: the supertones will be removed and replaced with the two additional GM horns). The yellow bar will be aluminum stock and I'll bolt the horns to this. My question: Will this arrangement affect the cooling ability of the radiator? I've had no problem with the supertones, but obviously I'll be doubling the number of horns close to the radiator. There will be about a 1.5" gap between the horns and radiator.

Thanks for any help.

Seems like it should be OK, but you might want to put the car through a cooling "stress test" before you are on vacation, heading up a mountain w the family and the a/c blasting. Better to find our sooner rather than later.

That YouTube clip I'm sure was very funny to the guy with the horns. If it was me scared off my skateboard his car wouldn't look so good if I could find him.
Besides the temperature light illuminating, what other signs of poor cooling would I look for?
