Doran Cunningham 6-B Ship fog horn

[embabe80]

Awesome :)

[CTParker13]

wonder what would happen if you put a potato in there...

[randybolhuis1]

what happens when the trunk is closed doess it blows the window out ??

[neomuttley]

Dude, that's so awesome!! I love it. How much does that damn thing (& associated plumbing/compressor) weigh? It's a beautiful brass horn, historic, & obscenely loud. Is it a crime to set it off occasionally? People w/money wish they could think of that. Not to mention having the technical abilities to plumb it, & make it work. Good On Ya :-).

[cheekymonkey242424]

Is the motorist behind getting too close....??? what a great way to keep tailgators at bay!!

[234icarlyfan]

Freaking awsome man

[maldread88]

Could you imagin the New york traffic if that was blowin?

[AsboDolche]

[NKKP01]

[meme1230321]

Tired of people riding your arse on the road? xD

*HAWNK* *HAAAAWWWNK*

OHSHI--

[shimrra]

what is spec pressure to run this at if your running 40lbs for a test?

[nh3cl]

Awesome! I love the sound of this horn! It's deep and strong, but still has a lot of mid and upper harmonics. New horns can't compare to these old ones. They are like tinny buzzers, that might have a low pitch, but no boom, at all! Thanks for sharing this. I can understand how you love horns.

[hunterbob21]

move bitch get out the way...oh your not? oh ok i got you.....HOOOOOOOOOOORN!!!!!

[krisachar]

I love it,your are living my dream....Great work !

Thanks & Love,

kris.

[w7mag]

How much for your 72 Corolla? :)

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

@w7mag Sorry my 73 Levin is not for sale, even though I have been offered by a collector in Japan for $30,000 usd...

[w7mag]

@w7mag Ah yes, 73, I should have known... :-) Enjoy it for me..

Was my first car as a kid. Paid $100 USD and drove it for 200,000 HARD miles. Sold it for $600.. Big mistake. Thanks for your reply.

[clovelr]

It sure is a beauty.

[gardnerbm]

id hate to see one of those valves get stuck open lol

[Lossieloon306]

Love this video, thanks for sharing horn details, that would be great for replying to the Queen Mary 2 or the Queen Victoria, just brilliant.

[zauraliyev367a2]

how much did that cost?

[lemonchewy1]

normal horns just seem useless at this point

[mizzbea88]

WOW!

[TheBloomer81]

[Jekwrestler]

[zxcvpokemon]

People(or whatever): Such a small car.....

Once horn: OMG! Wat??? A big ship horn in a small car? Awsome!

[Basparro]

I want that in my Accord! :D

[liptondip4113]

Such a little car...

Such big sound..

[alwayscode390]

Surprised it doesnt break the windows!!! ---

[y0shi09]

Damn! If someone cuts you off theyre gonna know about it lol

[Marine1Bulldog]

And if someone is tailgating, too.

[gekajgnqweriugn]

The DD416 marking could mean it was meant for or at one time installed on the USS Walke, also known as the DD-416. That Destroyer was sunk during WW2.

[TPDene]

I want such a horn! I could wake up the whole town every morning xD

[I000II0I0I]

LMAO, love it!

I love your sense of humor by installing the biggest baddest horn on the smallest vehicle!!

[redneck500]

are these street Legal?? LOL

[astrotrain53]

it would rule if they were

[AirborneLaser]

No worries Big Mike, thanks for the info!

[AirborneLaser]

What could someone expect to pay for a 6-B horn, in any condition, if they could even find one?

[geoffmackley]

I want one....

[WWoodyW]

Fucking hands down amazing. I'd love to have one of those.

[NewYorker160]

loool XD

[NathanH5]

We blew the 6-B at some idiot hecklers who were up in the woods at nighttime, in Altoona. I had Adam back his truck up so the horn was facing in their direction and Adam then let loose the 6-B on 150+ PSI. Needless to say the hecklers left in a hurry!! Later they came by and apologized and wanted to see what we blew at them. This big Doran 6-B is the most powerful air horn I ever heard. You have to be there to believe it!

[GeorgeLopezCaifa]

The 6-B is my favorite sounding compared to all the other horns out there! Too bad it is so rare that it is no longer on ships...

[cauberallies]

Altoona, PA? Man. I'm going to be pissed if I missed something like that here!

[Ne3s23p2]

I watched all your videos of this horn and someothers, it just sounds the best ! As it seems too hard to find, horn collectors may want replicas. Does making one require casting brass or can it be built from machined and welded parts only ? Could you provide diagrams and close-up pictures of internal parts ? Anyway, thanks again for the awesome sound !

[phrawgg2]

I want at least one of those.

[daftrok]

If only this was legal on the roads of today :(

[ymanganelli]

Well for sure it cross the 500s... and sounds awesome:)

[samlowry5611]

How much Decibels?

[ArmoredPersonel48698]

Watch the vid and you'll find out. Dur.

[ArmandKarlsen]

This is the kind of stuff that brings a big stupid grin to anyone's face.! 5* and a fave!

[coondogtheman1234]

hahaha awesome that was loud, 5 stars and a favorite.

[superzkid]

Slap one of those horns on ur car...then wait for rush hour

[carloscion]

DUDE slap that bad boy ON TOP of your car!..

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

The 6B is close to 200lbs. of brass. To heavy for the XB's roof

[Anthrax552]

@BIGMIKESOCAL plus some body would probably try to steal it if it wasnt inside.

[mlbirdinground]

@BIGMIKESOCAL You need a truck with a bed for that thing. Awsome toy tho.

[boulespuantes]

only two people huh??well im guna be the third...jk i dont even have a car 14haha

[hootergirlsrhot]

thats really good when someone cuts you off in traffic

[igorg003]

LOL, blow them away.

[mandykal]

how did you get ahold of this???

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

This horn would be considered very hard to find or near impossible to find. The reason ? 12" diaphragm horns are usually special ordered.The company that made this horn no longer manufatures it(since the 1940's)Simply put, there is no "go to" place to buy a large bronze ship horn. You need to search aggressively because those of us horn collectors have exhaustively searched what sources are available online, it will take a source at a ship scrap yard to search & score one of these large horns.

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

An added note, the Doran-Cunningham 6-B is very,very rare. There are only 3 of these that are being used that I know of. Mine, Adam's (Airraidsiren on YouTube), and the MV COHO Ferry. It's so rare that only six have been seen in pictures and each one had a different configuration.

[guarana80]

Man that's cool. You should drive around and just beep at people and film it lol

[quader99]

holly hell thats a big horn

[Besateswarrior]

Ma lol!

[nuttymasta]

Big mike. you've changed my perception of the Toyota scion. that's the first one Ive even seen that's cool.

[lapazANT]

¡¡ǝıqqoɥ ןooɔ

[opelfrik]

that is so cool.

[greenmetal1]

Where at in SoCal did you film the tests? Was it around Temecula, Valley Center, or Rincon? Nice horn, very good find! It sounds excellent!

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

These where filmed at Angeles Crest Highway.

[CoreoBroomstick]

/want

[blacky159]

I used to have one on the handlebars of my bike...people complained so i had to take it of.

[NotnaRed]

You need good connections to get one, right?

[SoundStudioBoseLab]

This video and "Airraidsiren" 6b videos are my favorite out of all the horn vids on youtube. Keep it coming....

[98snakeeater]

bloody hell!!

Good find :)

[arcostiann]

haha Yes boy! Very Nice and clean Ship Horn!! And you are Full equip =P I don't know where you find horn like that but aaaaaa...i would like to have some! it's a jewel! =D

[marchmadness76]
