I got the goods off jcwhitney.com. They arnt cheap however i got the horns as a gift but there around $130. the valve is $30 and the air tank and compressor is $200. All the hardware like wiring and switches and such are around $30 so it was about $400 total. but these babies are LOUD.

I have 110psi. any more its over kill. once you get to 100psi its all about hoe much air now not neccessarliy the pressure. if you know what im trying to say. Are you going to be running the triple trumpets?

Very cool man!! I always wanted to do one of those but its a lot of money for a horn. At least you can run lines and inflate your tires if you get a flat or want to lower/raise tire pressure while you are out.

I have found some on styling trucks for 100 bucks with every thing but the one i am looking at is a 100 for compressor and air tank plus a 100 for dual trumpet horns and it is rated to about 147db so i think that will be loud enough for about 220 total

Isnt 1/4 fittings small? What diameter hose are you using? Look good all the same though

MMStar. I have a setup from Seige Engineering and mine is 200psi. Definately get the bigger kit incase you want to do anything else with it later on.
