How loud do you want and how many horns do you want?

I got mine from Seige Engineering, they are an EBay dealer of airhorns. The have from 2 to 6 horn kits both short and tall. They have 1 gal. to 5 gal. tanks, and pressure switches from 90 psi to 200 psi.

Multiple horns give a fuller tone to the blast.
They don't make it louder.
Larger diameter air tubing, large capacity air tanks and horn throats give greater air volume and flow therefore louder sound.
Don't go for the 1/4 " or 3/8ths" piping. Go for the 1/2" stuff he he he.
I have all 1/2" fittings and it's LOUD!!!!! It's "WTF was that" loud if you know what I mean?

Sounds like a train. Personally I don't see why you would want your truck to sound like a train but to each their own.

Make it loud enough to shatter the rice racer's windows.

I have the 4 horn kit. Smallest horn is 6" and the longest horn is 13". I run 1/4" tubing and have a 3 gal. tank. I switched from the 200 psi switch to the 120 psi. The 200 was to loud for me. The 120 however still can be heard from half a mile away. Mine sounds like a train. I am thinking about switching the horns to make it sound more like a rig, but don't have the money right now to buy them.

Short horns will give a higher pitch of sound. Combo the short with the long and you will sound like train. If you want loud bassy like a rig, get 3 long and 1 short. If you go with all long, then you will sound like a barge. If you like that, then that is ok I guess.
