Default Adding PIAA Horns - and keeping the stock too - no relay needed?

I didn't see this answered in any other posts on upgrading the horns.

Stock horns Fiamm AM80SX * 2, each draws 4.5A.

PIAA 85110 horns each draws 2.7A.

I have 2 * 10A fuses, for Left horn and right horn. So it seems that each has a dedicated circuit.

Is there any reason to not just ADD the new horns and spice each into the separate existing horns, retaining the stock ones too (total 7.2A per circuit) - without using a relay?
