I’m gonna find a quote so I can say I told someone so!
And Slippery750 nailed it:
maybe cuz they were not industrial strength?

dood…you used the craptastic zipties. They break within a few weeks-months after being exposed to elements. Black ones, or the HD big ones, only ones that work. Noob

Exactly the ones that are like 3/8" wide thats the only way to go and even better if they have the METAL locking clip in them
And you were agreeing with me when I said this…
zip tie FTL! lol only time i use zip ties is for bundling wire
now the question is, is this horn useable in any way lol

i’ll be sure to pick up some INDUSTRIAL strength ones today
they are just TOO convenient when you are oh so eager to finish your installation and honk the crap out of your horns lol
I’ll give you an idea just how strong industrial strength zipties are

That entire ghetto rack I pieced together help the weight of my horns, storage box, compressor, airtank, tools, etc., etc. and was strapped to the factory roof rack using 4 large zipties :o

This was about 5 minutes after a taxi ran a red light, t-boned me, sent me flying into a pole and spinning backwards down the street :eek:
The rack took flight when I hit the pole and I thought the zipties had snapped, but upon closer inspection, all 4 zipties were still in tact
Instead of snapping, they actually ripped the factory rack right off the roof, bolts and all!! :eek:
Do they sell the psychoblasters anymore? I love the sound of those in unison with the shockers.
yeah. I think the shockers are great but they are missing something in the highs…
Yes they do, under Bargin buys.
Really? Is it a hornblasters product? I can’t seem to find them. Icanhaslinkplz?
wow 20 bucks? thats not bad at all!
