New Guy With Nathan Airchime K3HA in Los Angeles

[TheBigTaco]

So I did a lot of research, and read these forums for a while, and bought a turn key system from realtrainhorns.net today.

It’s the K3HA setup, seen here:

The guy I talked to was friendly, and helped out with everything.

I was originally going to order a complete setup from hornblasters.com, but I couldn’t afford it. From what I’ve read on these forums, and from ebay reviews, realtrainhorns.net offers a good package, and good customer service.

I still want to get a PA system from hornblasters.com, to even out my setup.

I’ll also be installing this setup myself, instead of having a shop do it, so I’ll probably be asking a few questions on here as I go. I’ll also post setup pictures as I install it, and finished pictures once it’s done.

If you have any advice or recommendations for setup, let me know.

Thanks for reading!

I got the same kit,but got the 480 c compressor. I spoke with mr. Jackson the owner- you can tell he’s a good ol boy- very nice to deal with.

What vehicle is this getting installed in?

Mr. Jackson seems like a good guy.

It’s going onto a 2002 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, xtra cab. I’m thinking of taking off the spare tire, and putting the entire setup there, using torx bolts or security bolts to latch it down so that no one robs me.

How do you like your setup? Anything you’d do differently? I still have time to make changes if need be. Thanks

Personally I’ll never takemh spare off, gotta have a spare man. You can order the custom mount kit so you don’t have to use the airchime manifold and it let’s you mount each horn individually. I have a recent post that’s titled Nathan p3 on my 08 f250- I built a custom bracket shelf out of heavy gauge angle iron and put it in my bed - perks to having a bed cover and an 8’ long bed! Check it out. Only thing I would’ve done different is get the K5 no doubt!!

I’m with you on having a spare… I’m going to keep the spare in the back seat of my extended cab.

I’d like to put the horn in the bed, but I live in Los Angeles, and I’m afraid that some shitbag will steal it… or try to steal it, and mess it up.

The K5 is nice, too. I’ll keep the compressor and everything the way it is, then.

Once I get a shop and some welding materials, I’d like to do some projects. I live in an apartment at the moment. Thanks for the reply

I hear that, might want to get a bed cover then, that’s the only reason I’m putting mine in the bed. Yeah, spares are to valuable! I’m in an apartment too, my neighbors probably think I’m crazy bc I’m always doing something on my truck, plus the “test blasting” I had to do haha
