Dixie horn
I just got a dixie horn for my 97 f150 from JCWhitney. I was wondering if anyone has installed a 5 trumpet horn like this before, and if you could tell me the best way to do this. Thanks

I ordered that exact kit from JC Whitney and installed it about four years ago in my old F-150 (1997 4WD extended cab 5.4). Anyways, from what I remember the kit didnt exactly come with enough stuff to pull off the job to my standards. There was something liek 2 feet of tubing that came with it, but it actually requires much more. I mounted them on a metal bar that I attached to the underside of my hood. From there I used the tubing (both what came with it and what I purchased seperately) to connect the horns to the small air compressor which I also mounted onto the bar. From there, I ran a connection to my fuse box. I ran a connection to a button which I installed (by drilling through) inside the cab so that I could play it by reaching my right hand down. The way I did it requires you to hold the button down the whole time for which you want to play the horns. I have the truck down at the barn, as I got a new truck for about three weeks ago. It's a 99 F-150 4WD extended cab 5.4 off-road package. Anyways, if you wish I could post pics of the set up for you. I am leaving tomorrow morning to drive back to college (North Carolina to Arizona), so I'd have to go take pics of the set-up tonight. I'd be more than happy to though, just let me know. Ooh yea, the horns are nice and I have used them for four years with not a problem so I think that you will be happy with the finished product. You will just have to buy some extra tubing at the least to get them operable.
