Hey All,

I'd like to see what you guys think..

I would like to mount a Kleinn Compressor and Tank system.
I want to install a LOUD horn system.
Don't want a train horn.
I recently found the information I needed to get a Fire Truck Airhorn.

But I don't have the know-how to install it. Also looking at the Kleinn system as it allows a push button switch.

If you have any information I would appreciate the knowledge.

need to know what system you are getting and where you plan on mounting everything. i have the katrina 5 bell train horn on my truck. i have aftermarket bumpers made by lex motorsports and when tbey built it, put a mount for my train horns. i have 4 air compressors mounted in my bed along with a 3 gallon air tank. i have a second 2 gallon air tank above my spare tire, and 2 more 2.5 gallon air tanks on the passenger side frame. i have aux 3 wired to the horn as i dont intend to use it often. its just a byproduct of my onboard air system

I'm waiting to hear back from Kleinn..
Actually any system that can power the Fire Truck Horn would be good.
I think I will be kit bashing this into the system I want.
So any suggestions for air compressor and air tank is appreciated.
Also need to be able to run a push button switch instead of a pull type system.

any momentary switch will work for you. i run 4 of the viair 400c compressors. they are rated at 33% duty cycle so after 15-20 min of use, they need to cool down for 40 min. however since these put out the most air, (in viairs lineup) i only use that much air when im filling up 4 trucks with air for their tires. i would recommend the slim tanks they fit better. where do you plan on installing everything?

I'm trying to keep everything hidden under the truck. That is why I like the Kleinn setup but I want to run just the connection to the Air Horn.
You guys still in Mountain View?
I can drive by and discuss this if you are interested in doing the install?
