Torquemaster69 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Sorry if this isnt the correct area for this, but its the only place I could think of to post something like this because of the fact that I am still using an air system. ....Anyways, I have an air horn and about to get a pump and a 1.5 gallon tank for it. I was wondering what else I would need for this set-up as I am going to be putting an electronic switch in the cab. Anyone with knowledge of this would be greatly appreciated Edited July 28, 2011 by Torquemaster69 Quote I'm not shy, I'm just hiding how awesome I am so I don't intimidate you. 4 DVC 15" Lanzar Heritage Subwoofers 2 Soundstorm Labs 2600.2 Amplifiers 2 Yellow Top Optima Batteries 1 8 Farad Soundstream Capacitor 12 Inch Motorized Flipdown Screen Black Suede Roofline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 first off...ROFL at your avatar lol. if your pump/tank doesn't come with tubing, you'll need some tubing. possibly some fittings as well. some kits come with these things, some don't. what is the PSI rating on your pump? you'll need an electric switch to cut it off when it reaches a certain PSI. and i assume the air horns have a solenoid built into them already.

HAHA....thanks...but the rating is 150PSI MAX (I don't need any bigger than that for this horn). This is the tank and pump I'm looking at http://www.amazon.com/1-5-Gallon-Viair-20003-Shipping/dp/B001ULAP1W/ref=sr_1_43?ie=UTF8&qid=1311882733&sr=8-43 The Horn is VERY simple....Its from a military vehicle and all it has it the horn part, and a hole to fit the airhose to right before the reducers...fairly simple. This is the horn http://www.tpub.com/content/trucks10ton/TM-9-2320-279-24P-2/css/TM-9-2320-279-24P-2_23.htm Edited July 28, 2011 by Torquemaster69 Quote I'm not shy, I'm just hiding how awesome I am so I don't intimidate you. 4 DVC 15" Lanzar Heritage Subwoofers 2 Soundstorm Labs 2600.2 Amplifiers 2 Yellow Top Optima Batteries 1 8 Farad Soundstream Capacitor 12 Inch Motorized Flipdown Screen Black Suede Roofline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teardrop Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 i had the same horn on my mini truck it was a bagged and shaved ford ranger i only shot 100 psi to mine and it was loud you will need a electronic vave a small one 1/4 in to open off a electronic switch just like a air ride system like this stuff is what i used http://qualityairride.com/air-management/valves/smc-14-valve http://qualityairride.com/catalog/fittings http://qualityairride.com/air-management/toggle-switches/carling-toggle-switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jd1102 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 ^same question? And what's the lifespand on air horns? if you talkin about the horn i would assume it would last as long as you had it you just shoot air through it i don't think it has any movement i may be wrong but i don't see it really breaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
