buck , hold that idea a minute or 2 go to ebay type in search the following:" train horns "it should take you to about 6 or seven pages of train horns and parts and look & see if anyone has a 150psi switch. than make your decision. john:cool:

@Buckfever4life

I tried to tell you all along…lol…

I wasnt trying to be difficult with everyones advice, but I wanted to try and keep my tank at 200 psi if possible to give me more volume down to 150 psi and less running time on the compressors. This is why I got the 150 psi pressure regulator to keep the psi constant and give me several more seconds of honking pleasure.

Should I get the 110/145 pressure switch from Viair? Do they make one with a shut off at 150 similar to the one that I have now?

145psi would be fine. You have 20gals of air reserve, probably as much as a train! lol

@Buckfever4life

What about the 145/175 Pressure switch? This should be OK for my K5LA?

The happy medium…

id say stick w/ the 150…

on my old setup (siege engineering 3 trumpet strategic seperates) i had them running at 200, then 180 , and i just kept replacing the diaphragms… now i know the k5la is a much bette horn, actually no where comparable, but the diaphragms are very similar… its jsut a stainless steel disc that if u got too much air going at it, you are going to wear it out and make the horns sound terrible. You have an absolutely awesome setup… i’d say if you want something louder add another set like some member have…

im running siege’s 5 trumpet strategic separates for over a year now and ive had no problems, but i wanna find stainless steel diaphragms.

i had the hammer 3 for like 1 year back when they first got on ebay
then i got a set a k5la’s for my truck i gave my hammer away lol
k5 is so much louder then that thing.
i poped one horn at 165 psi i hate plastic diaphragms boo
but siege not bad they sent my a new one in less then 2 days
so A+ to them
the horns i give B-
as i got a bad one on
my 2nd buy the tone was so off

but ya that vid sounds like a k5la to me
if you still have probs with it just give it to me ok
i pay shipping one way lol

1st make shure no 90° at the horn as it will cut flow in 1/2
2nd use hose the same size as valve (you can use bigger before valve)
3rd look at the CV on the valve it my be to high
4th cut more holes in your truck so you can hear it
5th send it to me to get rebuilt once more
6th have a shop flow test your air lines and valve to 75³ feet a min at 120psi
7th add a 2nd k5la
8th live with it

lol

I went thru a couple sets of the plastic diaphrams thru siege and i ordered the kong stainless diaphrams thru them and then just cut them to fit my horn , they sounded decent, but no where as good as the hb4h.
i sold that siege setup
