ORIGINAL: jisthangin01

My friend has a set of train horns in his F-350.. You get on em after someone cuts you off, they won't ever do that again lol. They're rediculously loud.
Heres a site with horns.. Some pretty funny vids too TRAIN HORNS


OMG! Their top of the line horn is rated at 156dB!That's10dB louder than a shotgun and 10dB abovepermanant hearing damage (threshold of pain).I'd advise not going any louder than 120dB absolutemax. Decibels work on a exponential (logarithmic)scale not multiples, so a 10 dB increase istwice as loudto the ear drums.

Here's a little perspective, I apologize for the caps:

156dB (P)IN A MINI-VAN WITH TWENTY 12†WOOFERS AND 19,000 WATTS OF AMPLIFIER POWER.
EACH SPEAKERS IS DISPLACING (PUMPING BACK AND FORTH ) 0.75 INCHES
IF LONG HAIR WOMEN SIT IN IT, HER HAIR WILL FLY OUT OF WINDOW WITH BASS
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FLY OFF VEHICLE 1/2 TO 2 INCHES, DOOR AND FRONT
WINDSHIELD FLEXION MAY BE UP TO +-2 INCHES OR 4 INCHES PEAK TO PEAK
EVEN WITH EARPLUGS (-30 DB) AND HEADMUFFS (-24 DB) = -54 DB IT’S STILL LOUD -REF.1.1997

All I know is that they're illegal, just like my PA system that I packed full of mud the other day. You should try one of those. I bought a speaker off a firetruck for 10 bucks off a guy who didn't want it, and a wal-mart CB radio for 30 bucks. Best money I ever spent

The horns are not illegal, but you can get a ticket for sound ordinance violation. I have 7 of them on my Magnum, but not the real large ones. I went with the following ones, and they are run off my air ride compressors. These are compact, but loud as heck!

Default Sweet

I got a set last year and it's awesome! I shopped for like 2 months, and all I could find was these crappy plastic horns. But I found this sweet set at http://www.trainhornsnow.com/ for as good of a price as those plastic ones. I would definitely recommend these, they're sweet!
