BTW... I have the Kleinn setup as well. 150 psi Viair 25% duty cycle, 1 gallon tank (almost went 2.5 gallon but decided against it), Kleinn model 220 horns for $325 including install kit.

Those horns made the install easier since they're separate.

Did you buy from Ebay? Are these horns ABS?

If so, can you give me a link?

That's a nice kit, but pricey ($450 plus with install kit). The only difference is it has the middle sized horn plus, you have to purchase the Blast Master kit to get a solenoid for each horn. I checked that one out as well.
BTW, these people are nice to deal with. Eric is fantastic with communication, and he knows these kits well.

Yep, I'm sure it's plenty. That's why I settled with two horns that each have their own solenoid.

I picked up RamSS/T's old kit. The only difference between mine, and the one your looking at are the horns. I have the three omega's.

The kit is 350 plus 80 for Blaster kit plus 20 for install kit. That's 450 plus shipping, unless shipping is free for you Yanks. Wouldn't doubt it

We get raped on shipping, although these guys were reasonable. Then I paid taxes on top of that. It came to just over $400 for me.

I wasn't going to get the upgrade. The kit is $374 plus $21.95 for the installation kit and $30.00 for shipping all together.

I know the 220 kit is louder but the sound is a little different.

Yeah, It is different and not quite that tradtional sound, but they still have some depth. I had to listen to the sound clip several thousand times and get a second opinon before I went for it. If I didn't get these then I would have gone for the Kong Mk2's. They have that traditional sound, but they're deep and rich.

I now have a gallery created. I took a bunch of pics of the horn install. I still need to take a few more pics to cover it all.

Since I don't have the little camera icon at the top right (dunno why) here's a direct link.
