J - They are the LiteGlow train horns. The website says 142db @ 120psi, but the box the horns came in said 152db @120 psi. The compressor/tank combo that came with the kit is a POS and broke. I bought a Viair compressor and a 3 gallon Firestone air tank which pressurizes to 150psi. So depending on which db rating listed, and adding an additional 30psi, they're probably about 150-160db.

I bought the kit from Sound Innovators in Miami. The Viair from a local guy, and the tank from http://www.TruckSpring.com

Dan,
Would you suggest to only buy the TRAIN HORN (by itself) and get the cables, compressor, and tank separately or do I still need to get the COMPLETE TRAIN HORN SYSTEM.


How much more did the viair compressor and the tank (together) cost you?

Does the train horns mount to the firewall, with utilizing one of the hood latch bolts to secure it? How is it mounted? Is everything under the hood? (compressor and tank)

I listened to the MP3 file, and the sound bite on the website you listed. Now that you have them and heard them in person, do they sound exactly like a train horn?

Thanks
Joe
