Pulled the spare tire out and mounted the four trumpets where the spare used to go, and mounted the tank and compressor in the bed. Put the push button just below the headlight **** inside. Ill take some pictures tomorrow. The compressor and tank in the bed are just temporary. Eventually ill mount them underneath somewhere. Just have to find the room and time lol

I have a hard tonneau cover with carpet on it so it insulates it pretty good. Between that and the dual exhaust you can barley hear it when it kicks on. To someone who has no idea what it is they might not even hear it. On my ranger I had a soft tonneau cover and you could def hear it running. Its not very loud by any means tho..

On that phone camera it's just as loud as the stockers up front, but it's buried in the spare tire cubby. That's how you get rid of tailgaters, add that to rearward facing spotlights...

I don't suppose your setup (minus compressor) would fit behind the grille?

Yea, the videos don't do them much justice. They are def LOUD. Just listen to the echo at the end lol Im sure the trumpets would have fit up front, not the compressor or tank but I knew how to run everything with them in the spare compartment from my previous install and this way they are facing forward, not at the ground lol
