Still in? I guess. The loader the better, right? I have them. I have Hella tripple air horns. One gor broken by my father, so he bought me another set to replace the horn he broke. Now I have tripple air horns and two compressors. I haven't hooked it up yet. It will fit nicely under the passenger side headlight. You would need to read the instructions that come with the air horns for all of the information.

I made a couple of brackets out of aluminum. Now all I need is a sunny day, some time, and an idea of where to mount the relays to finish the job. The relays should be as dry as possible and the compressors should be rather dry. This is a problem because of the mounting location and the space constraints. I'll post pics one of these days and maybe a little DIY.

My friend has 3 set up on his 91 dx hatchback. Scares the crap out of everyone. I gotta get them for my civic. How hard is it to mount the horns on our car?

I had to make brackets out of aluminum and there's already some pre-threaded holes under the passenger side headlight. If you want a perfect job like me then it will take you forever. If you kinda want to do an okay job, then maybe 5-7 hours. Depending on your level of experience removing the fornt bumper and working with electricity. That's after you gather up all of the materials though. Now I'm on something like 10+ hourse since I've made and re-made the brackets several times. I'm still not done actually. I want really nice brackets.

I got some double horns from Napa and mounted them under the battery. I just took out the battery and mount, drilled a couple holes in the battery shelf and mounted the horns there. The compressor is bolted down next to the fuse box. I still need to do all the wiring because it has taken a little time to get all the parts: fuse and holder, toggle switch (so I can use the stock horn or the air horns), and wire. I hope I can finish it this weekend.... along with my gauges and pedals! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, you need high quality air horns. No DIY air horns for you! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Just get the dual Hella air horns. They're about $25 shipped. Search for the best price through www.google.com I believe the best price is from a place called something like Sasquach? Sascahoon? Something like that. You'll know it when you find it.
