Anyone install an airhorn or similar?

I've got the Kleinn VELO15-230 air horn that a direct fit. While the kit is a little pricey, but having everything directly fit the truck and not having to mess with where to put things or how to attach things was really nice. The triple horn is plenty loud and doesn't have that high pitch sound some air horns have. Plus the quick disconnect setup is really nice. I've taken the truck to the river to go floating and used it to air up everyone's floats.
I've had my eyes on this one.

I think the Kleinn horns are... ridiculous. But I do like that air compressor/tank setup!

I agree, it was wayyyyy overpriced, but I do love the fact that the air compressor and tank mount directly to the frame and made it really easy. Honestly the hardest part of the install was getting the triple horn and bracket installed in front of the spare tire.

Yep, I live in Texas, by God! But the drivers still leave lots to be desired... the horns help, that's all. I've got plenty of close calls to my name.

What's the recovery time from, say, 100 psi to the pressure cutoff?

Agreed. And I'd do something different for the horns. With the compressor and tank setup, how long can you run the horns before the pressure drops too low... and how long does it take to recover? Is there enough capacity for long bursts, or do you get two quick honks before the compressor has to run for 30 minutes.

I actually haven't held open the horns all the way to empty or before the pressure drops to low. So you could hold for a pretty long burst. I've done quick burst and I can usually do one or two before the compressor kicks on for about 10-15 seconds or so to fill the tank back up.
Even if the tank is completely empty, it takes around two to three minutes to for the compressor to fill it up. Not very long at all.
(I'll empty the tank every now and again to try and prevent rust from the condensation)

Do you have any pictures of how you routed your wires with this kit, and where you connected the power and switch? I was hoping for a way to not splice anything, but I imagine you have to piggyback off of the 'accessory power' line, wherever that is.
