Need full-blast HORN!!! 200 1993

Son's 1993 245 has always had an anemic horn ( to quote Gov. Jerry Brown" It's not even a burp, it's hardly a fart"). I thought about running full 12V from the battery through a relay, but the signal from the horn switch inside the steering wheel is GROUND, not POWER. Has anybody fixed this problem? Is it better to take the steering wheel apart and clean the ground contacts? or 'jury-rig' a series of relays to allow full 12V to flow to the horns (similar to how the lights can be rigged up)?
Thanks,
el Raidman
