got me some TRAIN HORNS!!
so i dont konw which section to put this in so here goes. lol (please move it if there is a more suitable locations lol)
So i finally went out and got my train horns. we went to a local shop and i think i got a good deal. i guess yall can tell me if otherwise but i am VERY happy with them. I spent right at $500 on them. when i walked in the guys tells me other shops do this same set up for $1000 (which idk if thats true or not he was probably just being a sales man. lol) but his price (just for me lol) was 850. i told him no way. so he tells me alright 700. so i said well im gonna install them. so he said 600. then i told him i only had 400 in my pocket and i would put his sticker on the truck (not saying how long it would stay lol but i dont have it on there because he didnt have any at the time) but he told me 500 and i would pay him the 100 later on basically the honors system. so right now i have only dropped 400 on them. and like i said VERY happy. these are louder than any other horns i have heard and i know a couple people who have spent more on theirs. so here are some pics and the specs on the compressor/air tank are in the pic.
(here are the specs on the compressor/air tank) and i have one question about it...and i dont know anything about compressors but...would this be enough air and a good enough compressor to run air tools off of? i know i wouldnt be able to do a lot at a time but just enough to have an impact gun for the lug nuts sort of thing? and would it be enough to fill up my tires if need be? or is this tank too small and compressor too small to be able to keep up? and....if it is big enough to do either of these, how hard is it to make a "y" on the tank so i can have one line running to the horns and one to air tool or whatever? lol like i said i dont know anything about this so if yall know anything please let me know.
so anyways, let me know what yall think of my newest purchase...definetly the most fun purchase so far i think
i will see about getting a video up or something like that. they are definetly loud (scared the crap out of my the first time i heard them...and i was ready for it LOL)
