how can i get a truck horn fitted?

[LowVp]

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

sort of what that is but how would i go about having like a playback horn that more yells at people than horns lol u could make like an abusive one a oh look at me im so kewl 1 haha and a hows it goin m8 type thing
but that super 8 thing looks sick as
ps sorry bout sort of taking over ur post just made me think of that and u could just mount that behind the bumper and put the control under the dash or sumfin even hid in the glove box if ur worried bout it being seen

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.
As said before the tank will need to be a reasonable size to make it work.
Too much stuffing around just to get a few looks if you ask me.

guys when will you realise the voltages of the trucks means absolutely squat. if done it will be wired with 12v compressor and valve. der

go the train horn!!!

the other crazy thing to have would be a police megaphone mounted somewhere on the car.

I seen one on ebay go for $100... supposed to have a range of 1km or something stupid.

We got one of those gadgets that make the cop sirens and animal noises etc etc.....they ain't very loud, but loud enuf to still have some fun. Oneday someone in front wouldn't move so we turned the cop sirens on....saw them look in their mirror then they took off. Also one day giving a mate a drag and we were right next to each other and we turned them on....he shat himself, was lookin around everywhere coz he thought we were busted haha.

Those vids of the train horns are funny as!! HAHA!!
