Get a decent size tank, not the little bitty tank that's just bigger than a softball that comes with some kits. Air horns are only embarrassing if they run out of air and whimper out after 1.5 seconds.

Check around at some of the local 4wd or jeep shops and see if they have any sales displays set up where you can hear some different horns before you buy them. As you've discovered, there's lots of options out there. I don't know anyone who's tried them all.

Give Clay at Riff Raff a call. He sells them. Would probably have some insight.

Gorge does have some.

Check with your local big rig shop too. We have a KW dealer hear that has a 3 trumpet 185db kleen air horn for $103.00. They hooked them up for me to hear andmy ears ring for a hour after that

The ones we use at work are rediculous. Twin trumpets and a decent tank. I'll try and find out what kind they are.
