ah cheers mate, good idea actually.
its probably illegal to have a horn that big in a sedan, but you could do so many funny things with it.
anyone else no how and where? or how much?

just make sure you have it wired to a seperate (hidden  ) switch and put the actual horn somewhere unseen like behind your grill or something

You will need a compressor and an air tank so it will sound. It needs a bit of pressure to work effectively. If the tank isn't big enough you will only get a short burst then you would have to wait til it built up pressure again.

Problem: Most trucks are 24v and have a pretty big compressor behind their horns.
Solution Bias Boating sell boat horns which are 12v powered and do not require a compressore which will be just as loud.
cheers

why not go one step bigger to a Train horn, now those things are friggin loud.
trucks being 24v means absolutely sfa with regard to there air. they build air from a air compressor that is part of the engine and 70% of the time part of the injection pump.
a 12v compressor will do pumping into a tank but i think you will need at least 100psi of stored air to get a good go at the horn

I wouldn't do it simply because if you're caught with it then expect a fine.
That aside, Mack trucks are 12volt system so they're the ones to get but i'd expect to pay a bit for the set up.
