I feel sorry for who ever is on the passengers side when you let them loose.
I mounted mine under the truck where the spare was and they face forward so everybody hears them

mines mounted where the spare tire used to be along with the compressor and 5 gallon tank.
Im gonna go ahead and take the other side of "dont need them in south florida" argument. There are so many bad drivers here not to mention the millions of members of Gods Wating Room. A normal horn doesnt do jack with the person doing 10 in a 45 or the woman talking on her phone while simultaneously drifting into your lane without knowing it. People are just getting to be worse and worse drivers and until that changes the horn stays. And as for it being called a weapon...I can see that being true if a court rules that a cellphone was a weapon when said woman runs someone else off the road.

Try driving DEFENSIVELY. You might even like it (someday, when yer older lol)... but probably not when yer yung, dum & full 'o ***.... which is sadly the real problem....
I've been to yer fine state many times, and I dunno what's worse; the hat & bonnet crowd, or the ITG poseurs and AC's in their lifted 4x2's, who think brakes are for everyone else but them to use. Instead they rely on retardedly loud & obnoxious horns to tell the poor serfs to move out of the way, so they can proceed unmolested. Whaaat, me? Move aside? Slow down??? Nah - I'm bigger and badder & more impo'tent.. here eat this horn grandpa ... lol .... Wow.
If you need to use yer horns to avoid a situation, then it's your failure to anticipate and drive/react accordingly that's to blame.
Horn's a very poor substitute for driving as conditions dictate, or driving with skill, in general. But given the sorry state of driver Ed, I'm not real surprised .....
Try this: For a day/week, drive like you were on an invisible sportbike, instead of a 6,000 lb truck. Take note of how often you'd potentially feel the need to use the horn. Post back.
BTW - I won't even credit the weapon observation with a reply, it's that banal ... my god you've got some growing up to do, buckwheat.
Done here. Perhaps you should express your (?)views(?) over @ FTE where all the other impressionable retards live

Look at this chart and see how the numbers shoot up. 152 db isn't on there.

I highly doubt that 152db's is an accurate reading.
This is from the FRA (Federal Railroad Administration)
"For the first time, a maximum volume level for the train horn has been established at 110 decibels. The minimum sound level remains 96 decibels. Railroads have until 2010 to fully comply with the maximum volume level requirement." (http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/1773)
Usually that required decibel reading is taken ~50' from the centerline of the track.
My guess is that if 152 is actually a reading they were able to pick up, they put the mic directly in front of the horn to get the max volume reading possible.

I've wanted one or 2 of these for a long time now.
See, the Po-Po dont really do much about the drivers that pi$$ me off, so I have to handle those assbags myself....they wanna pull out in front of me, on a 3 lane highway, in the lane that I'm driving in, and expect me to change lanes....**** that.
That's where this handy, dandy train horm comes in, blow that bad boy, and hopefully that worthless pile monkey vomit is in the ditch.
If the police isn't going to do anything about all these bad drivers.......I will.

I can't believe I didn't try this before.
A friend of mine wanted me to hit my horns for a buddy of his when it came to me. I wondered what would happen if I hit my panic button. I press it and people from the shops around us were coming out to see what was going on.
I LOVE this thing
