Anyone install an airhorn or similar?
Not so interested in a train horn sound if i can avoid it, but want a semi truck type sound with the train horn type volume.
Anyone got one? Leads on good sources to purchase kits?

I have a Whelen 100db Police siren attached to my Viper Alarm also has PA but the fog type horn goes off when I honk the horn.
Gets people to move out the way B
any with a post of a button back to regular horn.
about $200
here are some specs:
Meets SAE J1849 and California Title XIII
requirements when paired with one Whelen 100 watt speaker
For use with one or two 100 watt siren
speakers
Hands-free operation
Includes hard-wired or plug-in noise cancelling microphone
Includes Radio Repeat and Public Address
18 Scan-Lock™ siren tones
Select siren tones at time of installation via a
momentary switch for agency standardization
Customize the placement of each siren tone on
the rotary ****

My 2018 will have a two-trumpet air horn setup (pulled from a Mack truck), plus dual 100-watt electronic air horns via the siren system.

I didn't want a train horn either. Bought this but that air horn compressor didn't push it enough. So I got this compressor
and it sounds great. Deep loud sound like the semi trucks. Mounted the horn under the truck and the compressor is in the bed. While the compressor and tank aren't huge, I can fill my tires no problem too. No complaints.

Just curious.
Why would you want a horn of this nature? Short of scaring the sh*t out of people I don't see the reason, want or use.

My reason was the horn that comes with these trucks in my opinion doesn't go well with it. Sounds perfect for a car but not a truck. Again that's just an opinion.

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.
