Is 4 gallons enought for........

I am installing on-board air and have compressor, but unsure of what tank to use. I want to run the airbags, train horns (occasional use), and the option to air up a tire or two, in the event of an emergency(at least enough to get me some where with a shop). Is 4 gallon tank enough with compressor, or should I go 6 or 2 sixes?
Thanks

I think I will try the 6 gallon for now, and just shop for other tanks in the meantime. (by shopping I mean looking for more free tanks)
I thought about up under the rear bumper, but what about spare tire?
