Well I personally had me a set of these but in all honesty you will not be pleased with its performance. I gave them away becasue I was so frustrated with them. Then I got 2 sets of shockers and a K3 from Farmer and damn…those jokey Maximus aint worth it. get rid of em and buy the real deals. You get what you pay for when it comes down to horns.
Garbage in, garbage out. sorry for the harsh words…
ya after some research on here i kinda figured. so i bought a k5la last night. i have the air tank and compressor from the maximus so i hope it all works for the k5s.
Well dude they should be off the wall. What kinda presssure you plan to put behind them?
prob gonna start with around 120 and go from there. 150 seems to be the best so i might go with that after a few sound tests. i also want to paint them. im not sure what to do or not to do. any advice?
150 is cool for pressure wise. I run mine at 200 but im on an upgrade right now so when im dont it will be 150. Well get some metal paint and go to town dude.
Do a search here on the forum, dudes paint horns all the time.
well i plan on taking it apart and doing it right. but i dont wanna screw anything up. i dont know anything about the insides of these horns.
I didn’t know anything about them eather but I did it. Here is my detailed wright up. I tried to post it on here but it always had to be approved by a mod and I still have 2 post that need to be approved!

I don’t think the 3gal tank is enough to run a K5.
That was a nice paint job
Thanks bro, about 100 bucks worth of supplies and 4 days. Bout 1-2 hours a day.
I would like to post it on here but like I said, keep getting the mod message.

ya they look nice but i want to paint them black with gold insides and gold bolts and airchime on the back. im prob gonna sell the whole max setup and go for a nice 5 or more gal tank with a decent compressor.
I would go ahead and get k5s, and a bigger tank and compressor(s). Painting them is wasy, just make sure you take your time!
oh i will. im not about to mess these up. if its gonna be done it will be done right!
I bought a Maximus level 4 kit from trainhornsdelivered.com before Christmas and they are already shot. The whole kit is junk. I had them professionally installed here at home. During installation the tank shattered due to its horrible build. It’s made of PVC. The guy that was installing it had to build me another one from scratch. The compressor sometimes works but the pressure sensor that was sent doesn’t. I had to go and buy another one. All in all I paid $400 for the horn and almost $400 for the install. For that kind of money buy something good. Oh yeah, and to make matters worse, when I called to tell the people what happened I was called a liar, cussed at, and hung up on!
Thank you for sharing your troubles.
Hopefully others can learn from your experience.
