i really want to get a train horn but am just not sure where to mount the horn and where to wire it and how to get the switch in the cab. i really don't have much experience with this stuff. thanks

 

you know that those horns on a passenger vehicle are illeagle to use on public roadways and within city limits and you will be tickited if caught using them.
but it really gets stupid idiots attention when they cut you off in traffic or just do stupid **** to **** you off.
my wife drives this truck back and forth to work and has road rage very bad she wanted this on here. im thinking of making a bumper like they have on bumper cars at the fair that surround the vehicle and putting it on here for her to so when she runs over someone it wont hurt the truck lol.
and its a pretty good bit of work to get it on there and hooked up.
but with that said you didnt ask for opinions you wanted pics here are some of one on my f250 stroke.






the horns are a 2 horn system from an 18 wheeler parts place they were around $50 and the compressor and tank i found online for $55. and mounted under the truck on drivers side behind the transfer case on the frame rail. the truck came with outfitter switches in it so i wired it up to them the one on the left thats on is for the system and compressor power and the one next to it powers the horn air valve actuator using 2 relays and the factory horn button. so when you honk the truck horn the air horn works. but if either one of the switches arent on it doesnt work. and had to use two relays for it to work off the truck horn button because the trucks horn works off of a negative wire rather than a positive like everything else and when i only had one relay on it . it would work right but when the compressor would turn on to rebuild pressure it would ground the truck horn through the compressor motor and would honk by itself.

 

thanks. that helps alot. yeah i just want to get one just to scare people. i will be careful. also to honk at idiiots who text while they drive or people who cut me offf.

 

if you get one of the 2 horn small ones like i have on here it will probally fit behind your front bumper or under it the big 3 horn ones are very large and expensive and you would have to mount it under the truck somewhere and would be getting dirt all in it unless you dont go off pavement. but this little one i have on here is more than enough to be heard a long ways away.

 

you should have posted this in Other Aftermarket forum . There lost to search from there . just search there . Maybe Good Old Rockpick will move it there .

 

thats sweet... good placement.

 

I have the hornblasters.com 4 horn shocker kit mounted behind the bumper grille in my 01 lightning, they barely fit in there, but are aimed down. had to run all the lines for compressor and tank to my bed (covered by tonneau). hornblasters.com plastic 4 horn kits are LOUD
