mount the tank on on the frame by the drive shaft were theres nothing across from the gas tank. Mount the compressor next to it on the frame with rubber gromets. Id put the horns next to it also some were and don't worry about facing them foward or anything becuase there soo loud it doesn't matter. When i get mine i might go the extra mile to run a manual lanyard vavle in the cab just like big rigs. You should youtube it. Oh andI know scarying the s#$t out of people is childish but watching these videos its funny as hell.

I have a 3 chimeKong Mk2 set up, with a 200 PSI 3 gallon tank and Viair 380C compressor.
it all runs with 1/2" lines and heavy duty solenoid.
The tank and seperate compressor all mount in the bed behind the rear truck window. The horns mount on the radiator crossmember transversly in the front.
There are full instructions with the kit I got from Siege Engineering and it's a real nice kit.
SUPER loud and scares the living SH*T[sm=jawdrop.gif] out of the the idiots, who pull stupid stuff on me, like cutting me up, or nearly reversing into me in a car park as happened the other day.[:@]
I run my system at 150-180 psi to save on the compressor a little. It extends it's life more.
It's a days steady work to install this stuff and all you need is simple tools and to take your time. Easy peasy.
Any further questions, PM me.
I've posted some pic's and a you tube link....................hope you enjoy?
