Train horns

eutechnyx · 06-05-2008, 12:28 PM

so I bought the complete train horn kit from sd and installed it all under the hood thinking it wouldnt be loud well turns out its insanely loud!! The first time we tested them the switch wasnt working right so I was pushing it over and over and then all of a sudden WHOMP I dropped the button and almost shit myself lol when i heard them I was in love! they sound so amazing just like a train no if ands or buts about it.I will post some install pictures just figured id say if youre gonna get any kit buy the sd complete kit its the best for the money i guarantee that.Install photos coming soon...

The train horn I have is mounted under the bed pointing out the back, it is amazing, I love it. nothing like creeping up on some pigeons(hoes) and train horning them enough to get them to drop stuff. honk honk!

cjlgarage · 06-05-2008, 03:40 PM

man i wanna see the pics how much was it after shipping

neo71665 · 06-05-2008, 06:07 PM

Must post pics, I been thinking about getting a set for my blazer and have not found anywhere good to mount them besides under it.

I'm not doing that cause its a 4x4 and I do mud in it here and there and don't want the horns ruined.

00s104.3 · 06-05-2008, 08:07 PM

I bought an air horn kit from ebay that is decently loud for the price. It's not as loud as a train but it will get peoples attention. I mounted mine under the bed on the spare tire crossmember and put the tank and compressor in the bed.

Here are a couple of pics of it...

And a video...

Oops, I didn't pay attention to the 4x4 part. sorry man.

MadMikeZ28 · 06-06-2008, 03:30 AM

I know a guy that used an actual locomotive horn on his toy hauler. You think they are loud on the train but without the rumbling of the train on the tracks it much louder.

admit1 · 06-06-2008, 10:44 AM

Mine is under the bed but pointed out the back, no condensation or water gets in..... also the air input is above the bed so no issues with dragging the hoses

also be aware of the cheap ones bought at auto places. usually red plastic with some kind of power cell, i smelled an unusual smell of burning and i looked at the source of the smell and it turned out to be that cheap A$$ horn it got too hot where the leads for the switch run into and burned up all the plastic around that site!!!

eutechnyx · 06-06-2008, 01:24 PM

It dont matter if they are plastic but high quality,they dont sound much different and just because they are metal dont mean they are louder either.

Wrkn prgs · 06-06-2008, 01:56 PM

Here's mine - Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZdW2dXVhuk

They are pointed at a downward angle facing my differential cover, so the sound speads all around.

And my set up:

russell · 06-06-2008, 04:00 PM

Don't you get alotta shit in your horns facing forward like that?

eutechnyx · 06-06-2008, 04:03 PM

Ok so heres the setup so far *kinda messy* theres 3 horns together and one alone Ill post some video later its sooo deep and loud it echos like hell the first video that the guy posted waay to high pitched and the second one im not too sure about sounded kinda messed up,anyways here it is,oh one more note sometimes it seems like the smc valve sticks and doesnt work and i wait a lil while and it works i wonder if its getting too much air or something,any suggestions would be appreciated,i can hear it click but it wont sound sometimes.

russell · 06-06-2008, 04:05 PM

Press ENTER between Pics..DAMN

dngrous_dime · 06-06-2008, 04:07 PM

how loud is that compressor, in the cab like that?

eutechnyx · 06-06-2008, 04:09 PM

Its not too bad it doesnt kick on alot so it dont bother me

eutechnyx · 06-06-2008, 04:11 PM

Im just wondering why sometimes the smc sticks or something you can hear it click but it doesnt sound the horns,i was reading something about too much psi but idk whats up with it it seems like it works after i start the truck sometimes though.

admit1 · 06-06-2008, 05:06 PM

ballin right thur, you gotta have facing backwards so shit dont fly in there especially water, and you want metal because a rock could fly up or whatever and just destroy the plastic

HondaGuy · 06-07-2008, 01:44 AM

I don't think my horn would fit under a S10 bed and I know they wouldn't fit under the hood haha

admit1 · 06-07-2008, 01:53 AM

AMAZING nuff said what else can you even say about that jeesh!

eutechnyx · 06-07-2008, 10:20 AM

Nope, the bracket I made angles the horns downwards so I don't have any problems, and my differential cover acts like a shield.

We have the same horns, the video was taken with a cell phone so of course it sounds distorted.
