i finally got my horns in. A set of klienn 220 horns and they are crazy loud. I havent hooked both at once but i have blew them seperately and it hurt my ears but i was holding the air valve to sound them too.

I have old 79 F250 with train horns they were from a train salvage, I bought a secondary air tank from a semi salvage for 30 bucks they have drain plug built in so you can drain moisture out of them caused by compressor. I found out the hard way but mount your horns so that crap like mud dust stuff like that can't get in the horns. There is a thin diaphram inside that can get buggered up. They are really loud so it does not matter where there mounted you will hear them.... They also have a screw set under each horn that will allow you to set the tune of your horns by turning one way will tighten the diaphram for a different sound!! I'm just running a little compressor of my engine. It does not take as much psi as you think to run them. May depend on the kind of Horn I guess!!! Good luck to ya Oh from the tank to the horns I have just a hand valve on my dash that you crank to the side for all out then back to close it. Those lines are 1/2 inch the less restriction the better.
