I have been trying for 2 years to figure out how. Today I did it!!! I put train horns on my Spyder! These are the ROCKERS from Hornblasters.com and they are deafening!!! I can still switch to the regular horn and the power unit is easy to remove if I need to use the frunk. They are just for fun and to see if it could be done.

I only took my horns off the Spyder because we were touring more/longer & with the new Assistance Dog, Buster, we needed to use that space for luggage. Taking an Assistance Dog everywhere, even if he is quite small (only 4kgs dripping wet :p ), reminds both me'n the Child Bride very much of travelling with a 3 y/old toddler - the necessary capacity for all the gear & accoutrements required is astounding!! :shocked:
Buut, back to the horns - I noticed a distinct lessening of volume on my set-up once the Air Tank dropped in pressure & the compressor kicked in. The compressor still kept ample air flow going into the tank to run the horns (IIRC, mine were specc'd to work from 60-150psi) but they just didn't sound with quite the same 'authority'... :sour: Actually, the compressor alone would start & keep the horns sounding, they just sounded a little anemic - not quite as loud/solid as they did in the first few seconds or so off a full Air Tank, if you get my drift?! :rolleyes:
Do you notice the same with your set-up? What restart/max pressure & how big is your air-tank? :dontknow:
I'm not giving up on the idea of getting the horns back onto my Spyder, cos as I'm sure you appreciate, even if others might not, they are just too good not to make every effort! :ohyea:
Oh Yeah! Them rude cagers got a surprise comin". Quite the set-up Joel. :2thumbs:
I am using a 1 gallon tank, 150 psi shut-off switch, Vair compressor. I had the setup on one of my vehicles, but with a 2 gallon tank and 4 horns. It had about a 5 second continuous honk. I only give it quick honks, so no issues with depleted sound. It is extremely loud anyway. A quick honk is PLENTY! These horns are not the junk sold on amazon or Ebay. This kit cost over $750. I highly recommend Hornblasters products.Quote:

Could they be so loud as to trigger a road rage incident?
:2thumbs: You truly have THE HORNIEST Spyder out there!! :clap:
You seem to be under the impression that I will use the horns indescrimminently. That is not the case at all. I have a switch so I can use my OEM horn most of the time. The air horns will be used mostly for parades, honks for waving kids, demonstrating for people asking a out them, and for fun. I guess they could be used on idiot drivers, but I never used them for that even when I had them in my SUV. Just for fun.Quote:
