Feelin Horny!
So I asked www.hornblasters.com to put together a custom Train Horn for my truck.
It arrived today and I will be doing the install this weekend.
Here it is:
100% duty cycle 200psi compressor, 5 gallon 4 port tank, 4 horns, 1/2 valve
// it is set up as an on-board air supply as well //
I tested the horns with 120psi and they are brutally loud.

Which Vaair is that? I had the 450C and basically the same kit you have. Where do you plan to mount the horns, I see you have a F-series is that what its goin on?
A little tip that I found out, if you have them parallel to the ground but angled just slighty towards the ground and facing under the truck from the back(under truck bed) will make them SUPER loud.

1 - In the bed. Putting the tank & compressor in the tool box with the horns mounted under the tool box facing to the rear.
2 - Under the truck, mounting most everything to the frame, facing forward.
Keep in mind.... this truck goes off-road and tends to get real muddy.... thus my reservation about having them underneath.

As for the location, I have been kicking around a couple of ideas:
1 - In the bed. Putting the tank & compressor in the tool box with the horns mounted ondure the tool box facing to the rear.
2 - Under the truck, mounting most everything to the frame, facing forward.

Any ideas where I can score 1/2" steel braided air lines?
