Connect horn to the air suspension system?

RE: Connect horn to the air suspension system?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, no. I dont know what the operating pressure of the air system is on the H2, but I will bet it is nowhere near the 120 psi needed for those commercially available train horns. You also need a large supply because they require a lot of volume to make them work properly. Everyone I know who has put one onthier semi needed to run 1/2 inch ID tubing to it to make it work right.

I HAVE MY TRAIN HORNS CONNECTED TO MY AIR SUSPENSION, THE ONLY REQUIREMENT YOU NEED FOR THE HORNS TO SOUND GOOD IS A BIG ENOUGH AIR RESERVOIR TANK. BUT HOWEVER THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE HORNS AND THE TANK, I HAVE FIVE HORNS AND A CUSTOM BUILT TANK BY ME, IT WORKS PERFECT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT THINK THE HORN WILL SOUND WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, YOU ARE MISTAKEN, THE SOLENOID IS ON THE HORNS BETWEEN THE TANK AND THE HORNS, THEY WILL NOT SOUND UNLESS YOU ACTIVATE THE SOLENOID.

my tank is about 2.5 gallon. the longer you want to blow the horns, the bigger the tank you need. so if you only plan on having one horn a tank my size will sound for a long time, e.g. 30 seconds or more, but with 5 horns, maybe ten seconds. The pressure is available from the suspension, the only thing that matters is how much can you can constantly give to the horns.

no not directly, but if your air lines, your tank or your solenoid you install has any leaks at the connections and the compressor runs to long to compensate for the air loss it will flash check air suspension. but if your system you install doesn't leak you will not have any problems. also where mine is connected is behind the right rear fender liner there is a small 3/16 black air line that has a straight quick connector, i removed that and installed a t-connector that i purchased at home depot in the section that sells the brass fittings and such, the t-connector however is white plastic, i believe it is used for water connections to refridgerators with an ice maker and water in the door feature.
