Hey guys,
I bought the Conductor’s Special 540 kit with the 5 gallon tank and the shocker Xl’s, but 90% of the time I honk, I get a high pitch squeal that sounds like it’s coming from one horn. I’ve checked for kinks in the hoses, voltage to the valve, and I have ruled out the too-much-humidity-in-the-diaphragm theory. I took a video in between some buildings and you can hear it on the resulting echo. There doesn’t seem to be the low, quality shocker sound that are in all the videos, so I think it might be the lowest horn.
Also, the only time the horns don’t squeak, is after i get out of a car wash and honk it twice… the second honk is a perfect sound and then the following honks squeal…?
do you have a psi guage? see if the psi is constant going to your horns. also idk much about the shocker horns but check if the diafram is bad? try to narrow what horn is blowing bad… and / or test each horn on there own and see if you still get the same result. i just got a k3la and blown it during the middle of the day but with a air compresser i have out back pushing 175psi. but it helps having 2 150gal tanks… no issues. i say test each horn and see if its a horn issue and/or a pressure issue.
also another note is the heat can be effecting the way your air valve is working. check your connections on that and what kind of air valve do you have is it a plastic one or a brass one?
Wo wo wo. 150 gal. tanks?? haha
I called Hornblasters twice and they guaranteed me it was not the horns themselves messing up. I have the brass valve, but how can heat affect that? Also the shockers are about a foot and a half away from my exhaust pipe, would that affect anything other than the moisture in the horn?
I have an Air Zenith digital gauge that is about 10 psi off, but the air is definately being pushed at all times the button is on.
yea i wish thoes tanks were on my truck but if so i would need air bags and i wouldnt have a bed becuase it would be tanks… lol they are my shops compressers. possibility. i would say check your connections. do you have a volt meter? check your connection at the valve. and also see if you get a constant voltage…
no issues. i say test each horn and see if its a horn issue and/or a pressure issue.
