Looking at it, I’m not sure on how great the compressor and tank size is. And if it’s going to do much of anything. I can’t really go over $350 [thanks fiance!]. Can anyone tell me if this is a good kit? Maybe some specs on it? How well the suttertone will sound? Length of horn blast? Quality and lifespan of the components?
Any and all help would be appreciated…
Also, if someone could point me to the direction of a good air horn kit install thread…
Personally i would wait until you got some more money and get the hb4h and a 5 gallon tank. You wont regret the extra honk time. However that kit is perfectly good for a starter kit.
okay, well if I did get the low end “starter kit” how loud is it?? louder than the Grover? also, what’s the difference between the 3 shocker horn kits? tank size and loudness? honk time? anybody really think the low end kit is gonna actually move people or scare the crap out of them??
sorry for bad grammar/spelling. typin on my iPhone bouncing down the inter state. [not driving :x]
its very loud, its just the honk time. The differences in the shocker kits are the compressor and tank sizes. You will get lots of scares with the starter kit.
The starter kit is the 2 gal one that i posted the video of… You will definately move traffic with that. But it will run out of air quick… the grover is cool, but the HB shockers are awesome / loud / will turn heads! I have them hooked up to my alarm and they are loud as hell!
I built my system from a used compressor, new 5 gal tank, and Shocker XL kit. Brass fittings from HD. I came in under $450. Worth every penny, I love it.
Well, I’ve considered trying to just buy the horns and build my own kit. I work at Lowe’s so I see tons of good deals, but I just don’t know what I’m really looking for in regards to tanks/compressors and all that good stuff.
I have the 1510… it’s very loud and scares someone on the streets…
I bought it from www.airhornsoftexas.com, i paid $66 (blemished, but in great conditions), don’t remember how much for shipping to Italy (about 40 or 50 bucks), then i paid other $45 for our custom… then i added $35 for the solenoid, let’s say $15 for the nylon tubing, $30 for all the snap-in connectors; reductions; teflon tape, $10 for the manometer… and that’s it… i used an old fire extinguisher for the air tank i got for free.
But now after tried the 1510 for i while i decided to upgrade it with a K3.
What i mean is what other already adviced you, sound is COOL but for that money buy at least a shocker.
