Default Train Horn - Installation locations?

I have my set ready to be installed, just waiting for a sunny weekend here in northern cali to do the install. might do it this weekend if weather permits.

Any of you guys have any suggestions on where to put them at?

So far on my truck, the only place that seems safe / enough room would be in the front bumper on the pillar between the frame.

I have enough hose to reach there, and electrical shouldnt be a problem.

Plenty of room behind the front bumber. I got some small u-bolts and bolted them to the underside of the front crossmember. I mounted the tank and the compressor along the passenger side quarter panel (Under the passenger side front seats) between the frame rail and the truck side.

I agree with the horn/horns behind the front bumper, they will get some protection there.
