I've got three different horns and I'd like to install one, so I'm interested in this also. I've even considered mounting one on the hood, but they're so heavy. Plus mounting the compressor and tank I have.

Everything included in one package. That was the route I was going to go but never pulled the trigger.

THANKS B,
Yeah thats a nice little setup
for a nice price.... but it just doesnt give that Big Rig sound I want. I have the horn that will do it, but its a biggin... and it might have to be mounted up top.
Funny though, thats where I was thinking of mounting my horn too (where they have theirs mounted in the engine bay)

Have you seen the guy who sells the manual for building PVC train horns on ebay. Look him up on youtube. The horns you can build from PVC using his instructions are insanely loud. I've thought about doing it for ages but you'd also need onboard air or use the small pressurized tanks to power the horns.

Yeah I am not looking for train horns, and I prefer not to have a tank.
The horn I got is a 18 wheeler horn, and it powered by two pumps. The issue with my horn is to get the sound I wanted (18 wheeler not train) I had to get a LONG horn.
Given, I didnt know about the PVC thing... thats interesting and will definitely have to look it up.

So you ran the Real Wheels setup, the all inclusive kit inside the engine compartment and had issues?
