It's embarrassing...but I've had the EXACT same thing happen. The poles were reversed. You put the neg to pos.
The main fuse is blown. You will need to replace it and hope nothing was fried.
BTW...I think they set up the horn to blow when that happens as a clue that you've done something wrong.

if the 100a fuse is blow.. the horn would not work.. but your lights dont work.. so you might have blown a fuse..
the horn deal sounds like you have an alarm installed. if it is factory or aftermarket..
this is what you should do... reinstall horn relay.. hook the battery back up.. let it beep.. hit disarm on your remote and it should disable the horn/alarm. now you can start the car
the alarm has a starter kill ..

Check the fuses in the fuse box next to the battery.
