I want a LOUD horn....

sorry accidently hit post now... to continue

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> - Where is the "where the factory compressor would be"? What Factory Compressor?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

the adventure package has an air compressor mounted underneath the rear bumper, take a look under there and you will see the mounts for it.. they kept them there.. or run down to the h2 dealer and take a look.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> - Which Hadleys would you go for, The 984s? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

that kit is two of the same length horn.. so it will be in stereo... only one pitch... i would get the H00859 kit... that kit has a 19" and 22" horn... would harmonize quite nicely and have a deep enough pitch... (i might make the switch...)

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> - Where in the rear would you put the compressor?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

there are alot of nifty places you could put it in the rear... i would have to take a better look.. i dunno why i was hell bent on keeping it under the hood.. i think it was still that realwheels mentality I was having that it was the way it was supposed to be... a bit close minded on my part.

Out here we call them "S.O.B" lights. THey are for the next Sum of a Bitch following behind you with their Brights on. I haven't finished the light arrangement on my H2, I still can't decied what I want or where. MY SUb has 7 rearward overhead lights. DOes a fine job of lighting up where I've been.

I have read your objection to the realWheels set up before, but it looks Sooooooooo Easy to install. Can you provide details on your set-up:

- Wolo model
- Compressor and other required parts
- Install specifics

I am definetely installing a new "truck" air horn, do NOT want a siren sound, but need some guidance as I am a novice on this topic.

Thanks

P.S. Jason can you get a different Hadley horn set with the RealWheels mounting set?

[Centerfire]

I am sure this has been mentioned before. However if you want a loud novelty horen.. Get a 200w siren box with the air horn feature. Jusat do not use other then the air horn feature,, I have this feature on my vec. with twin horns.. it takes up much less use.. You can have it wired idrectly into your horn buttin and simple keep the knob turned to air horn.. I have used this feature for years. it draws as much attention as the siren, new phaser, yelp etc. as any setting on my siren.
Just a thought.

Okay, where can I get a really good air horn for my H2...someone installed one on theirs I remember way back from this forum.

I actually have kids pull their arm like a trucker wanting me to blow my horn. I guess they think it's going to be loud or different than any other SUV.

Would love to have it for novelty and function on the highway.

I need an airhorn. But I'll tell ya', there isn't much that does more good than just getting so close-up the the freak in front of you can only read the "MM" in your grill in their rear-view!!!! They seem to consistantly think to themselves "holy hell, I now reallize my place on the food chain".

Maybe Jason can add the air horn kit to the online store. Should save us a few bucks...

A group purchase would not be a bad idea...

I have a fire truck horn on my H2 which needs a compressor to run the horn . It is the loadest and the baddest horn out there. I've avoided many accidents just by honking and letting people know my prescence.

[smoked H2]

It's not worth using your existing compressor. Times when the suspension and the horn suck air, the compressor will simply be overworked and probably void warranty. Besides it's not that expensive. I can't say where I got it from. It's kind of illegal.

[HummerGirl]

OH Cool!

okay now where can I find these? Any place on the net! AND yes that's exactly what I want....for those who continue to whip in front of me!

okay question fer ya....

Several of the H2 owners in our group have the strobe lights that only come on when they are in reverse...almost like an alert to those behind the vehicle in a parking lot. Is this okay? or Legal?

Hummergirl, in CA the VEHICLE CODE states no one can operate a motor vehicle with strobes for the exception of authorized emergency personnel. Out here, that means fire, coroner, police and emergency higway personnel like CALTRANS or tow-trucks.

Backup strobes are PROBABLY OK over there in GA! Out here, there are probably overlooked unless they are abused.

In GA, which is where I think you live, it may be different. On the east coast and in the midwest, trained civilans are volunteers with such things as volunteer fire departments and such. Those situations probably allow certain people to equip PERSONAL vehicles with such lights to respond to these emergencies.

I would check with the police department in your local area.

But keep in mind, in your area IF such lights are not abused, they may not cause un-do concern...............but I would check it out

HeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww

I need to borrow that unaslob. My next door neighbor has a friend that comes every morning to pick him up for school and lays on the horn. My wife went out and asked him to tone it down a bit & he gave her attitude. Mind you this happens at 6:30am and wakes my kids up every day.

A couple nice blasts from that in the middle of the night would fix 'em!

Heehaw, I am only talking about these strobes coming on when the vehicle is in Reverse.....my hubby and I are medical personnel and are supposed to respond to disaster scenes. These strobes don't come on any other time...

I don't know about those siren boxes... I suspect it would be illegal to have one in your truck unless you were in law enforcement or emergency services.

I like the idea of the loud horn without the air - I just don't want the possibility of a hassle with the law somewhere on the road.

If HeeHaw is around it would be nice to get his opinion on what he would think or do if he stopped a vehicle with a police siren installed.

DO NOT GET THE HORN FROM 4WHEELDRIVEACCESS!!!!!! if you are serious about a horn!! take it from someone who has a nice setup.... ask the guys who went to the NY dinner... I will be posting pics soon!!! I would not get that horn... I would never get the tank that they have... too small... I would only get that compressor.. you can order individual parts, tanks, compressors, air line, ect.. from COMPONENT PARTS in Indiana. I would get the horn from wolo... or maybe a longer hadley horn. THe length of the horn defines the pitch... the 4wheeldriveacc horn is too short and hence give a high shrill sound... really sucks. more like an ambulence that is all.

Wolo makes a nice dual horn with a bit deeper pitch... and is not too long... if you want that real deep sound, truely trucker... you have to get a hadley horn, a nice 30 incher.... you will have hard time mounting... but would be nice...

Hummergirl, are you two doctors? If not, in what capacity are you in the medical field? My girlfriend is also in the medical field as well..........

see ya later............bedtime.....

HeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww

[Centerfire]

HeeHaw
Is correct. in most states the use of strobes by civilians is illegal. Unless for volunteer fireman or road crews, etc.. Now this is Indiana Code, as Hee Haw stated, check you local code and dig deep. Because where one code giveth , another may taketh away.

You must becareful with them , very few things tick off an officer more thenfinding someone we percieve as someone who is pretendin g to be a cop!.

Mike,

I've got the FedSig 100w with siren box. Same units that Jax Sheriff's Office use. The 100w, weatherproof, horn speaker is super loud and takes up hardly any space behind the mesh grill, and...It fits the truck's personality perfectly.
