Fellas,
Great info... I appreciate it. I need a kit, my friend will probably have to install them himself since I'll be gone. His wife is trying to get him this for Christmas, so I'm the fall... er... go to guy... I have to find out how much she wants to spend.

I may end up having to go with some cheap crap...

3rd horn set down.

I installed these horns on one of our Peterbilt trucks under the bunk on the driver side. I ran 1/2" air lines up to a 1/2" 1/4 turn gate valve. These horns shake the ground and are retardedly loud. People could actually soil themselves if you went wide open with the valve next to them. He thinks it is funny to give me a blast of them when his truck is in the shop. So then I show him how funny it was with the grease gun after he parks it for the night.

Check out HornBlasters (http://www.hornblaster.com) and the forums they have for horns (http://www.trainhornforums.com).

I'm on their forums and picked up a Nathan AirChime K5LL (Canadian tuned low mount 5 horn) for about $650 from another member that had a spare set and wanted to part with them.



I'm installing them this summer.
