Im new at the train horn thing, Can someone tell me what the differents is between a P3 and a K3 would they be about same loud? also is there a link on this forum that tells ya what all the letters stand for?
Welcome. I haven’t seen a link. The guys on www.hornwhistleboard.com seem to know every configuration and designation of every horn ever made, especially if they can see pics from several angles.
A different sound all together. Visit YouTube to see what sound you like better.
Nice website ear2ear
Yeah, I can’t take credit…it’s regurgitated from the forum.
P3 has a very mellow tune where as the K3 literally screams at you. The K3 or K series are on or off meaning as in when you put air to them they are full on or full off. No gradual increase in volume(unless using manual valve). Where the P3 or Pseries gradual increases in volume but still pretty quick, and has a slight squeal as it comes on.
My personal favorite is the P3. But its hard to beat the insane loudness and scare factor of the K3!
The K series horns will get the attention of people without a doubt!
My P3’s don’t squeal at all. I also prefer the deeper tone of the P3’s over the K series also.
i have a k5 and a P3 mounted on my truck and i would most definately say the P3 is by far my favoite because of the deep tone.
Love the oven kick my modified k5s produce.
