Default train horn question

hey guys, Im wanting to purchase a train horn kit and I think Ive narrowed it down to one but I have a dilemma. I want to wire it in so that I can take away that crappy stock ford horn. (it sounds like it should be on a mini cooper). So what I plan on doing is, disconnect the stock horn wires, splice and run to the solenoid for the horns. then run my pos and neg for the pump to the proper locations. I don't use my horn barely at all, and I don't have any type of state inspections (thank you Florida). but when I hit my horn, I want ppl to know it. also its pretty cool when you hit the lock button twice on your remote and you get that deep loud train burst. will this work? is this how you guys are wiring up yours? what about a remote wire to kill the pump when ignition is off? thanks

the compressor only comes on if you lose pressure in the tank

The only problem with just the pressure switch is that if for some reason you get a leak the pump will just keep coming on and kill your battery. I'm getting ready to install one in my truck but I'm kinda makin my own stuff like the tanks switches and stuff. You should install a relay in your battery pos wire and have it turned on with like the radio of something. You can splice it into anything that turns off when you turn the truck off.
