Has anyone installed an air horn on their rig? What's a good brand that would give it a powerful big rig sound?

The Hadley Bully kit isn't a bad choice - still has a good sound, although not quite as loud as the "one-grand" kit

Bully Horns

I've seen this kit listed in the JC Whitney catalog for $249 (but couldn't find it on their online site).

If you just want a good sounding air horn (please, stay away from any of the direct-drive, or <gasp> plastic horns - they sound like grabage), without a lot of reserve (the 1/2 gallon tank is good for about an 8-second blast), and don't want to be able to run air tools, this kit would be perfect.

I have a set of grover horns that I picked up from Rickson Truck Accessories http://www.ricksontruck.com/aboutus.html I already have an air compressor and tank from my onboard air system so all I needed were the horns and the valve.

Quick question:

Is it the shape of the horns that determine if you get a big rig sound, say, versus a train sound? Or does it also have to do with the compressor, etc?

I've wanted an air horn for a long time, but I'm afraid of getting it and it sounding completely different than I want (which is a big rig sound!).

Pitch is determined by the size of the horn (bigger the horn, the lower the pitch). Volume is determined by air pressure.

Look on top of any big rig... that's the size horn (or horns) you'll need to reproduce their tone. You can't do it with a smaller horn. And, of course, as the horn size increases, so does the volume/pressure of air required to drive it.

I had Hadley Bully's on the White Obsession for 3 years with no problems at all. I purchased another Hadley Bully Kit from Camping World for the GHOST RIDER.

I highly recommend them!

I installed the Grover dual 1604 on mine. With the prices I'm seeing I can't tell if its with the tank and pump or what. I had to get the whole works and I paid $300. It took me some doing installing everything. A 4 gal tank takes a little doing on the install. Loud? My wife says they shake the house. Yes, they're loud.
