jandsaudio Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Been looking to install my train horn that I bought a few years back on the truck we just recently bought. Only thing is, how? I have no idea how to go about doing it. The site I originally bought it from (siege engineering) has gone out of business since. Should I sell it together, or part it out and but a hornblasters kit? Anybody have any experience with these type of installs? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Its not hard at all. Idk what you had included when you bought the horns but you just hook the compressor to the battery, wire up a relay to a switch so you can control when the compressor is allowed to automatically turn on and charge back up or not (mainly this is only used so the compressor doesnt refill when the car is off and drain your battery) and most common ones come with rubber hoses and some have couplers and nipples to connect the hose to. I would say look at hornblasters here http://www.hornblasters.com/support/manuals_and_schematics they have manuals and other good stuff to get you going for how their kits are setup. Yours should not be that far off from hornblasters. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download a photobucket app, and upload your pics to photobucket, go on a pc, login to your photobucket, and copy the img url here. I believe thats all. *06 330i - Sundern x12 - saz-3500* *91 Foxbody V1 S-Trim Notch* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
