The source of compressed air is a huge compressor (weird, but it works on 12 V) and that`s it. I`ll post a picture with the compressor. Btw, I spend 2 hours trying to figure where to mount them, in the end I dropped the compressor with a bracket under the MAF. Oh, and they sound like in a movie with Louis de Funes. :lol:
Id love to see a pic of the compressor i couldnt find one that could supply enough air in one go.

Heres a video in the underground car park.

Could do with a set of these on my truck as people who deserve a good blast rarely take notice of normal horns anymore. If a kid runs across the road on purpose and dares you to keep going by slowing down, just blast them out the way with the sound waves :D

Reckon one of those hornblasters kits should do the trick.

Hope the exchange rate improves before the vat rise.

Ha ha ha love it that someone else has done this. I won some train air horns on eBay and stuck them under the hood with compressor and air tank in the boot with a solenoid there as well. It is so loud.....
