I took this video as I was just starting to install my air horn setup in my Van( I have a van because I DJ weddings, so it's my daily driver, I have a fun car in the garage!) In this video you can see the tank/compressor combo the air line and the horn and solenoid setup. I had just drilled the hole for the air line and started running it underneath which is why I had the van jacked up. I figured I'd take this vid so in the later videos when people get to hear the horn. They will know what it looks like and what kind of setup I have, incase they want to do their own install or are just curious. I got the horn from a friend who had got it from an old factory. It was originally chrome but was pitted so I had my friend powder coat it in black to make it look presentable. With the little information I was able to find about it, This horn was from the late 70's early 80's and was commonly used as a general purpose horn in factories and on Semi/transport trucks. At 110 PSI it does sound very much like a train horn and probably only a couple decibels less, it's still extremly loud and can be heard at quite a distance.
Note: Videos with the finished install and sound off of the horn will follow in the next day or two.
Feel free to leave any comments or questions you have.
