Train Horns Install On Nnbs?

dirtracer455 · June 24, 2009

Hey there,

So I've decided to buy a train horn kit for my truck after hearing one of my friends blast his ;)

I'm looking at products made my Siege Engineering, a company located out of MA who seems to have great product.

They sell train horn kits containing all the necessities: horns, air tank, compressor, hoses, valve, etc.

Their kits are also verrry well priced compared to the competition.

I am trying to decide between two of their products: "The Hammer 4" --and-- "The Anvil"

Both are similar in price but the Anvil has a deeper tone and seems to be louder.... however it is a huge setup and I dont know where I would be able to mount it on my truck: (15'' W, 12'' H, 18''L).

Anyone have any ideas for a NNBS besides the roof???

The Hammer 4 is still really loud, just has a higher pitch. It wouldnt be as difficult to find room for. (6''W, 7''H, 15'' L)

Here is a clip of both of them:

Please Help!!!

Links dont work?

the links worked for me, and I like that anvil's deeper tone much better

I have a friend that collected them for a while. I bought a bunch of them (the originals) off ebay for him until I convinced him to get a computer and ebay account. He hooked up a few to run and they had a pretty long range mating call. First time I heard one on a car was about 5 yrs ago on a Honda Civic. Loud a hell. You might check you local laws. Some places it's illlegal and they'll write you for a couple different civil code violations.

The place I've seen them mounted was behind the grill.

The ANVIL sounds much better.

Of the choices given, go with the anvil

I have always wondered what they would look like mounted on the roof. The way people drive these days they would sure come in handy!

Anyone happen to know about the legalities in MD? The strategis separates 2 sound pretty good and look like theyd fit well.

I vote Anvil. They sound pretty close to mine. I have these: http://www.hornblasters.com/products/detai...er-4-train-horn

I mounted a Viair 380C in my truckbox with an 8 gallon tank. My truck is lifted 6" so I don't have a skidplate on the front crossmember - so I fabricated a mounting rack for the horns to fit above the crossmember facing forward. The valve and splitter are mounted to the crossmember. Not the showiest install - but quite functional. Bad pics - but are the ones I have handy.

I won't add these to my truck but it is funny as hell to watch people jump in their seats when a guy has these and lays on it. I crack up every time! Have fun!!!

Thnx for all the responses...

But as I was saying i have no idea where I would be able to mount "The Anvil". Definitely not enough room under the hood or right behind the grill.

Someone mentioned bolting it the the frame under the bed of the truck but I dont think the sound would be as I want it from under there + I dont want to worry about sumberging them / getting mud in them...

May just go with "Hammer 4" for dimensions.

Any IDEAS????

So I think I made up my mind on the Train Horn decision..

Going with the Siege Engineering "Kong Mk2"

I actually talked with an employee from the company today and he explained that it is one of the more reliable horns, while also being one of the loudest

He explained that there would be plenty of room for all the components in a full size truck.

Soooooo now to play the ebay game and try to get a deal haha

Thnx to everyone for all their help

go to hornblasters.com. they sell horns not sure of their prices. but they have instructional videos . and also videos of the horns scaring the crap out of people on the street

Scare someone into a heart attack or into a accident I would hate to fight that in court or have to live with it. Having fun out of scaring the hell out of people is a little juvenile isnt it?
