Budget air setup..?

[DatacomGuy]

Looking to setup air horns, but on the cheap as the kits online for $300+ are a tad ridiculous.

5 Gallon tank:

12v Compressor:

Plus horns, accessories, etc. Looking mostly for input on the tank/compressor setup. Welcome any suggestions..! Don't have a lot of exposure and experience with air setups, so i could be completely wrong here.

Subscribed. I was wondering the same thing, heard a kickass train horn on a wrangler the other day.

Harbor frieght is crap. spend the $300 and get a real deal name brand like viair and do the isntall once instead of having to replace parts every few months from cheaping out.

I plan to purchase and mount this bad boy where my spare tire used to be with a second 2.5 gallon tank.

VIAIR Constant Duty Onboard Air System : Amazon.com : Automotive

Do it once with the good stuff or spend the same money to do it twice with Harbor Freight junk.
I run a 5 gallon tank with 1/2" ports with a Viair 480C. It'll feed my Nathan K5LA's for about 5 seconds before it falls off....if you're running smaller horns it'll last a lot longer.

With some help from google you can find some sites that will recommend cheaper compressors that off-roaders use for air lockers and stuff

Haven't picked out my horn quite yet.. but going for a 24" or longer semi truck horn. Grover or similar.. Possibly two depending on price. I think i should get much more than 5 sec, but not sure yet. Still trying to piece it together.

You will...those use a much smaller air supply. Mine use a 1/2" hose and have 5 chimes so it sucks the air down really fast.

Absolutely gorgeous. LOVE it. Would look so nice under my rig.

Any videos? Would love to hear it.

I wanted the big rig sound.. but so hard to find the right horn. Almost ready to give up and go Nathan. Budget restricted of course, so.. Won't be Nathan. But. hornblasters or something similar.
