This is kind of funny! Ive been putting together the same thig for my girlfriends truck cause she wanted horns lol

You can wait on the compressor if you don't have the money, 7 gallons goes a long way for horns (I just fill te tank at home or the gas station)
She just has air horns bot trains horns, they're loud as hell and we're only $40 bucks with the solenoid, $15 for a tank, couple bucks in fittings,hose,wire and switch and boom air horns for less then $75
Go to viairs website, it lists what size tank there compressors are good for
Spend the money on a goo one cause you'll just burn out anything you get from tractor supply or harbor freight

Yes but you know damn well youll use it hell id sit out side walmart myself and blast every person i saw lol. Asked a cop the other day told me they had a few cases now if your caught (using them) youll get arrested then go to court to explain wtf you have air horns lol so ya just some way to make money

Haha ya i probably would too lol. That blows, i guess it just depends on the area and how bad a mood the cop is in lol. They show up immediately to get you for little things like this but when it comes to more serious things they seem to take their time( not talking about all police officers, just most of the ones around me and the ones ive delt with)

Yeah I think 7 gallons is plenty for what I'ma need first off, then when I get ready for air tools I will get a good compressor and not waste money. So I would need a set of horns and a selinoid.. Then some tube and fitting from the hardware store And done???

Get a Viar. I love my compressors. I have a tank and a set of Nathan Air Chimes... I have about $1500.00 invested in the wholesetup tho!!

It's not cheap running all the right wires, cut off switch, plugs, I have an air hose hooked up to it.. .air line.. fittings... list goes on. lol.
