Now I'm not the electrical guru, I hooked up some autozone air horns up to the factory harness, now the compressor just seems like it needs more power. As you all know the factory wire is cheap and I'd rather not re wire the whole thing, what are your views on wiring in some capacitors? Would it work well?

You could run a relay so that it draws power directly from the battery instead of thru wherever the stock horn wires go through.
Id have to think a while on how to wire that up though. I may be wrong too. Something lime using the positive that goes to it as the switch on the relay?

The relay should have a diagram on it, or it will be in the instructions. One pin is ground, one pin is positive, one pin goes to the compressor, one pin goes to the positive from the existing horn.
