Fitting quad train horn and compressor

TeamG · Sep 26th, 2020, 19:06

Hi, I’m contemplating fitting a quad train horn, compressor and air tank. Added bonus will be having an onboard airline for tyres etc. Has anyone done this and can give advice on locations for each component? I’ve found sufficient space under the bonnet for the quad horns, relays, mounts etc and am considering the compressor and air tank in the boot, but would prefer to mount further forwards if possible.

I see they are about 150dB?

How about just using Wish.com and get one of these puppies, even if the dB is exaggerated some, even half the dB would be louder

plus, they are only a few quid if ya don't mind the wait (not more than a month, normally....)

Sound an interesting project! And here comes the 8.15 from home to the office......

Not it's true - I read it on the internet. And you can get them from the same place I got my 120,000 lumens LED torch that takes 2 AAA batteries.

150dbA would produce instant deafness to anyone within a couple of metres, look out for the lawsuits.

Why not just stick another couple of horns in the engine bay wired to the original ones ?

It would need a relay and some tidy wiring to avoid melting the original stuff.
