Those sound good...they are a little higher in pitch than mine. Yeah, I got my entire setup from Grover...the trumpets are made by Omega though. I got a HD solenoid to replace the weak stocker.

I want a set real bad. My problem is my wife will refuse to be a passenger if I get a set. I explained that 90% of the idiots blocking the left lane on the highway are also on the phone. With a good set of these horns you can kill two birds with one stone. One, they can't hear who they are talking to and two, will feel an urgency to get over (probably to clean their seat).

I am thinking of maybe adding train horns to my system with a switch so I can go from the train horns to the Grover Firetruck horn.
