Air horn suggestions ?
Well my horn took a big ol dump on me and while I'm sure there's any number of reasons and solutions, I'm going to see this as the opportunity to install an air horn. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

yeah its always a possibility but its also $20 every couple months when you have to replace failing horns.

The size air tank he is using is just on of those small 10gal ones for tires or around the shop.. it don't take much air to make them honk lound, its just you don't have a lot of air for long long blasts.

Yep the kit comes with everything needed. I ran the horns inline with my OEM horns so when I push the wheel like normal they honk. install was simple.

Simple just run the hot wire from the solenoid on the air horns to the hot wire on the OEM horns. That way when you honk the OEM it will give power to the air horn solenoid allowing them to honk.

Just trace the wire back from the OEM horn until you find a spot that you like to splice in at. Heck you can just splice in right where the OEM hot wire is on the horn. The OEM horn is ground by the bracket. The one wire coming off of it is the one 12v hot.
