Help me find mounting points for my train horns

So I bought this for my 97 F150



and I'm having trouble finding a mounting point. The horns are so damn big. I found a spot just right in front of the differential but its directly above the exhaust. I don't know if its going to be a problem with heat or anything. I thought about maybe wrapping the horns in some type of protective thermal stuff.

Also I think I'm going to have to just put the air compressor in my bed in a corner and simply make a custom sheet metal shed for it.

What do you think? Any better ideas? I want to avoid removing the spare tire too.

Got mine right up front. Got it wired up to stock horn, can blast with remote. Getting power for pump from + wire running to trailer plug, pump only comes on with key. Only thing is can't have trailer and pump on at same time, kicks relay.
