So after about 2 weeks trying to set the shit up in a mini cooper the older one (for a joke ) i finally did it got a 500 dollar ticket......WORTH IT!! no one expected a mini cooper to have a massive train horn. Its the best when ppl cut u off
I didn't have a relay I installed mine in my Dodge truck I grounded mine right to the frame and for the power I just ran it to a fuse and put an on off switch between it, and it worked great I scared the hell out of many people no relay is needed IDC what they say, and u can fit train horn on almost ever vehicle just find the room I got my setup off amazon they have great horn setups at great prices good luck with your install, it took me about an hr and a half to put in
I have Viair set-up on a Silverado. Wired 45amp relays and separate on-off buttons for horn solenoid, and air compressor. Kept blowing fuses left and right! Liked to almost lost my mind, trying to figure out the problem. Finally realized today, the air compressor which I mounted on the frame under the truck was grounding to frame, even though rubber feet still in place. Like having 2 grounds!** WRONG!** The compressor's black wire to pressure switch, which is ground, other ground I did not know about was the compressor itself touching the frame. Now have on-board air, plus some mighty train horns!
If I want to wire my car alarm to my train horns what's best and easiest way to do so? Take the power from my plastic horn and run straight to the pressure valve??
Seems like cutting the bottom of the trunk out is a pretty radical move. What happens when you drive on rainy / snowy days ? All that water and road crap going in the trunk can't be good for the wiring, not to mention the mess it leaves in the wheel well ?? But it is a bad ass horn.
@sititlow How loud if your compressor and how often does it turn on? I’ll be installing a horn in the next couple weeks and am debating between one of those small little compressors that sits next to the horn or a setup similar to yours. Obviously, not as much power or volume with the former. I’m just concerned about a traditional larger compressor being annoying inside of the car/ it re-pressurizing constantly.
I’ve had a train horn for almost 2 years and I get it working for a few weeks then it stops work then I get it running fo 3 more weeks then it stops working I really need help
Hi I have a new 4 horn and it came with two black wires to connect the horn I don't know witch is the ground or the power and it did not come with instructions can you help me with that thanks.
How on God's green earth did you connect the 4 gauge wire to the relay? I cannot find and I'm pretty sure they do not make a female spade connector. The video is not clear enough to see what you used.
There are also digital varieties of air horns for emergency vehicles that produce a similar effortlessly-recognizable sound. These are usually integrated into the exact same system as the automobile's electronic siren, and seem through the same loudspeakers. I have discovered this site www.pbmissions.com/ while my searching on the Internet to put an air horns for my personal car. Thank you for this nice video
Does the output from the relay to the horn go on the positive or negative terminal of the horn? Then the other terminal from the horn would go directly to the chassis ground?
i actually have a few questions..... does it matter what size air tank you use ? i bought an 11 gallon 125 psi tank, im starting from scratch instead of buying a bullshit kit it has a compression gauge on it but only two ports one for the compressor and another for an attatchment which would be my horns, and i also bought a centralpneumatic 150 psi high volume 12v compressor, i know i need the pressure switch ? but what more do i need ? im pretty smart when it comes to installing things, just dont exactly know what other parts i need.... thank u
Did you run a toggle switch to shut on and off the compressor? Or is it on constantly with the ignition power? Could you explain where I would put the switch for the compressor in my system
so for the pressure switch if i were to just run it to the battery or any source of power the horn would work weather the truck was on or off correct? Would there be any sort of other unintended consequences?
Would i be able to wire it the same way on my dodge ram? Or can i set it up as a switch from the regular horn n a train horn like i could use my re3horn but when i hit the swith i could still use my regular horn but the train horn will go off instead of the regular?
What would cause the horn to sound like a squeaking sound as if air was letting off at the horn but not going through the trumpets to have a tone? Solenoid is clicking when I flip my switch. But after I leave the switch on after a bit making the squeaking sound, the horn starts making a low tone sounding like a tornado siren of some sort.
i got a vixen horn i bought after a year it stopped working the instructions said to use the pressure switch as a ground and it worked until now the ground coming into the relay is getting very hot it started to melt, im not sure why, the other pin on the pressure switch is going to the ground of the compressor. also my horns underneath the car click but sound comes out do you why, there is air coming out of the hose connecting the horns.
Check hornblasters. They have real Nathan horns as well as their own horns which are pretty dang impressive. The good sounding kits start at about $400- $500
you can ground to the negative on the battery or a ground on the vehicle. it'll work the same. deciding factor for most is how much wire do you want to run through vehicle.
If anyone out there has figured out how he connected 4 gauge wire to the relay pin please post it in the comment section asap. I have a K5 horn ready to install .
John Cimino It looks like in the video he just used a Yellow terminal witch is a 10 AWG terminal and just trimmed the # 4 wire down to fit the terminal. If you go to a True Electricial Supply Store You will find the right terminals. Hope this helps.
on my moped I have just positive and negative going to horn, can I not put in 20a inline and just plug it in do I need relay as I find it really confusing
I read some forums on this exact subject connecting 4g to a small relay and they said the relay is likely to melt too much power. They also mentioned using a step down block 4g to 8 to the relay. Ur 100% on the money with the 4g. When you made this video why didn't you mention the biggest obstacle connecting the 4g to the relay oh by the way the grd Relay they said should be 4 gauge also.

Noah Furtado exactly why I want one... nobody is going to expect it from a volvo
I’ve been messing with this for days thanks for being so detailed with that

I got a K5LA. Its mounted on my truck. Took a whole day! Air tank and compressor hook up tomorrow! :)
Nice the biggest you can get I think
Thanks for making this video! I've wanted to do this for years.
you don't need a spare tire when you can just sound the horn and all fire and police departments in the state can hear you
Thanks much...just getting ready to install in my 73 Bronco.
Dude that is one big ass horn that thing is sweet looking for to more vids now
I release new train horn scare videos every week...a guaranteed laugh every episode!

I’m having the same problem with my compressor grounding out and blowing fuses. How did you fix the issue?

Great vid

captfxco That Train Horn is worth more then the car and will out last any car you put it in...lol
Not bad your vid really helped me out with wiring. Thx!!

So do you not have your compressor on a switch? Or do you have your compressor and tank set to run all the time until it reaches desired psi in tank?
I’ve had a train horn for almost 2 years and I get it working for a few weeks then it stops work then I get it running fo 3 more weeks then it stops working I really need help
Hi I have a new 4 horn and it came with two black wires to connect the horn I don't know witch is the ground or the power and it did not come with instructions can you help me with that thanks.
Best video thx helped out alot
Pin 36? Do you not mean pin 86? Thank you.
Awesome video! 2 questions.... what is the capacity of your tank? and also what's the refill time from empty? thanks!
How did you connect that thick ass wire to the relay? Haha
Great video babe
Horns are bad ass ☺😂
Sounds good thanks
I just got mine done some idiots didn’t connect the pressure switch is the 85 spot a ground?? Thank you!
Nice description of how to install, especially with the relays and fuse but a bit sloppy in execution.
Thought we would hear your horn man!
Plenty of videos of it on my channel

I have quarter inch line that came with a air horn kit how much louder would it be if I switched to half inch hose using 150psi
Let me gues Volvo S 60 .Nice work .
i actually have a few questions..... does it matter what size air tank you use ? i bought an 11 gallon 125 psi tank, im starting from scratch instead of buying a bullshit kit it has a compression gauge on it but only two ports one for the compressor and another for an attatchment which would be my horns, and i also bought a centralpneumatic 150 psi high volume 12v compressor, i know i need the pressure switch ? but what more do i need ? im pretty smart when it comes to installing things, just dont exactly know what other parts i need.... thank u

What kind of small horn can fit inside a medium looking sedan?
Won't the cutout let water in?
what happens if you getta flat is that horn gonna get you home mijo ?
Would i be able to wire it the same way on my dodge ram? Or can i set it up as a switch from the regular horn n a train horn like i could use my re3horn but when i hit the swith i could still use my regular horn but the train horn will go off instead of the regular?

Air leak from the hose to were it goes in on the base of horn or the base & trumpet itself, can use loctite or teflon on threads to seal!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU! :)
Which wire is going to the button you press to actually sound the horn?
I can’t get my compressor to stop running.
i got a vixen horn i bought after a year it stopped working the instructions said to use the pressure switch as a ground and it worked until now the ground coming into the relay is getting very hot it started to melt, im not sure why, the other pin on the pressure switch is going to the ground of the compressor. also my horns underneath the car click but sound comes out do you why, there is air coming out of the hose connecting the horns.
What types of fittings do you need for the airlines, and where do you get them?!?
How did you connect the 4 gauge wire to the relay?
So u don't need a Switch for the compressor ???
Are there any kits you recommend? I understand it won't be as loud as yours but I want a kit that has everything you need to do it.
Would you have a wiring diagram drawn out by chance?
Do you really need a relay? If so why? I’ve never used one.
Does the valve wire need a relay?? If I’m wiring straight to factory horn??
Jimbo69 no it does not
Do you have any recommendations on a location to mount a train horn on a Toyota RAV4?
What air like size did you use
can you wire it to your horn switch?
I have a 24 volt boat horn. How can i make it work on my 12 volt pickup??
Just change your silinoid to a 12/24volt. Lots on ebay.
what kind of air valve is that
Hello! Nice video. Were can I buy a air horn kit? What is the price for a decent kit? Thanks!
Check hornblasters. They have real Nathan horns as well as their own horns which are pretty dang impressive. The good sounding kits start at about $400- $500
do you have to fill up the air tank before you hook up the compressor to it
No the compressor fills the tank.
whats going to happen when you go drive in the rain and the water goes up into the horn
Nothing, these horns are meant for the weather, they are in rain daily on top of trains.
What's the ground wire for? And do you use the negative wire from the power source or do you just go straight and ground that?
mackiwawa not quite sure I understand what you are asking, the ground wire is for a ground.
you can ground to the negative on the battery or a ground on the vehicle. it'll work the same. deciding factor for most is how much wire do you want to run through vehicle.
I have a lowered Subaru wrx sti, where do you think I should put it??
in its butt with the sti's
There is no 36 on the relay. It actually is 86
this is more of a how you did it rather than a how to do it
Is the value necessary?
I wanted to hear the horn
How much is the real horn you got?
If anyone out there has figured out how he connected 4 gauge wire to the relay pin please post it in the comment section asap. I have a K5 horn ready to install .
John Cimino It looks like in the video he just used a Yellow terminal witch is a 10 AWG terminal and just trimmed the # 4 wire down to fit the terminal. If you go to a True Electricial Supply Store You will find the right terminals. Hope this helps.
This whole time I was hoping to hear the horn. What a big let down, haha
on my moped I have just positive and negative going to horn, can I not put in 20a inline and just plug it in do I need relay as I find it really confusing

Where did you get your tank from?
A local shop but you can order them online
+Sititlow hey I was wondering on that air tank how long can you sound the horn? And how long does it take to refill
Wat brand u have
Find the damn focus button PLEASE
Have you ever got a ticket from the pigs?
total $
Looks hard to set up to me and kinda sucks to make it look better hide the horn some where
codfan122 its hard but worth the effort.
Sititlow yeah i want to place it in a supra
is it possible to install parts inside a truck tool box?
+hTran7 of course, you can hide everything if you want to
So you fucked your car up by cutting a hole in the wheel well just to fit some horns there's one born every day
Bad horn
