    My horns came about a week ago. It is a 3 trumpet 'train horn' advertised at 154db @ 150psi but we'll see. I'm stoked!

    Everyday, Im surprissed with the interest in Train Horns. Im selling 10 a week.
    Today, Im going to try find time to better market my horns. The demand is real!

    Every Install we do, a horn has become a must. And this has only happened recently.

    Iv had people tell me the horn is more "fun" than the suspension. Crazy.

    solenoid already has wires comming out of it, all i did was snip off my oem horn connector and put some ends on the wires and pluged them together

    i guess if your just gonna do it with its own switch then you would prolly have to run a relay

    Bumping this thread. I installed a triple trumpet train horn kit on my allroad last night. There are tons to choose from out there. I went with this one -->> Triple trumpet train horn kit

    I spent most of the install time trying to find a place to locate the horns and ended up placing them in the engine bay on the passenger side. There was just enough room after I tweaked the AC lines just a tad. I wired up the horn using a momentary switch so the horn can be activated seperately from the OEM horn. I plan on adding a relay to the mix just to be safe.

    The air line was straight forward. My kit came with 1/4" line and i must say it is much easier to work with than the 3/8" line I ran for my bags.

    I got a late start on the install and didnt get finished until about 1AM.

    Pretty sure my neighbors were all like but i was all when I let those horns rip in the underground parking garage.

    It was fun testing them at different pressures as my tank pressured up. They started out super quiet....then got RFL!
