I know some people on this forum must have train horns. I want one so bad. I'm tired of people running red lights in front of me and not having one to blow in their faces. What are some of the best ones to get? I need the horns and air compressor to be weather proof (I'll be mud riding). I would like to get a whole kit all together (horns, air compressor, hoses, etc...). I don't want to spend a fortune on it, but I want it loud. Definitely under $500 for everything I need. Also, where is the best place to mount the horns and air compressor on an f-150? I have a 2006 SLT 4x4 with a 6 inch lift. Thanks for any input

 

I don't know if it's the best price, but a friend got this setup and it's *******ing LOUD! To mud proof it, you'd just have to mount them in a place where the horns won't gob up with mud..... or put a screen over the horns......something.

i believe gatorcrew... if thats hiis username. has them mounted under his body. you can see them from under the truck... not mud proof. idk many places you could put them for them to be mud proof.

 

Check hornblasters website. They sell a kit thats like $300 or $400 that comes with the horns, compressor, and tank, and there loud. To mud proof it, you could mount them in the bed. Or, if you mount them in the spare tire area, like most people do, you could point them towards the back bumper to keep mud out of the front of them and build a metal box to go around them. I've also seen them mounted inbetween the grille and the radiator.

 

between the grille and radiator is good. I've mounted lights there before. Is there room there for horns?

 

I got mine from Hornblasters.com. I got the conductor's special model 540 train horn kit. They were closer to 800 because I upgraded all my lines and fittings to 3/8". These things are AMAZING!!! They are beyond rediculously loud. I would recommend them to anyone looking for horns. I've heard of some people puting them between the grille and the rad or in the bed. Just like atr04screw said. I decided to mount mine on the passenger side frame rail. I haven't done any off-roading yet, so I can't tell you how they are off-road but was out in the mud and I floored it in reverse and got mud in the horns. All I had to do was pressure wash them out and blow the horns off after and they are fine. I also use it for air tools. For that, It's alright. It goes through air pretty quickly. I'm going to buy a second compressor, which should fix the problem. I would suggest doing the same if you're going to use it for air tools.

 

Nathan train horns are imo the very best. Youtube Nathan train horns and you find lots of clips and do some googling to learn about them. If I can ever get past the added weight I'm gonna do this.

 

Hornblasters are the best by far. PM me I have a brand new set model 232 for $475

 

about mudproofing, i mounted my tank and horn in the bed. stays dry with the tonneau.

 

I have a set of Nathan p5's on my f350,17 gal of air, two Viar 480c's . Mine are mounted on the pass side frame rail on the bottom of the bed FIRING straight down, NO mud or water has hurt mine yet. Hornblasters.com or airhornsoftexas.com

 

i have horn blaster shockers with a 3 gallon tank in my spare tire spot with a splitter running to an air hose that runs out the rear where my spare lock was i have a regulator to dial the pressure from 180 to 90psi it faces to the passenger side never had a problem with mud
