I've installed many of the ones that come with a little compressor and find them easy to deal with and quite loud. Obviously, I like them. In fact, I have frequently changed, altered, or added trumpets to alter the tone to suit the vehicle. Most are very shrill as sold.

Anyway, I usually just wire the compressor to the stock horn relay, removing the stock horns and replacing them with the trumpets, if there is room. Sometimes I've had to fab a mounting bracket out of 1/8" aluminum.

Unfortunately, I don't have any installed pix here, I don't think... uh, nope.

I can post one this evening if you wish. The only one I have at the moment is a fairly complex placement with an added extra-long trumpet, all placed under a fender (no room at ALL anywhere else) amonst an intercooler pump and a brake vacuum pump. Putting one on the Ram would be a piece of cake by comparison.

Hope this helps.

I have a 2 trumpet wolo big horn mounted just behind the front bumper and grill.

I mounted the compressor, selenoid and tank on top of a board that is mounted to my frame rails and the trumpets underneath.

You can probably do that too.

Thanks for the input.. This Dixie horn is 4 Horns....I kinda figured I could fit a 1 or 2 horn system, but a 4 got me thinking...

Also...can these horns work as a 2nd horn or you must sub it for the factory??

Thanks for the input...

You can do it anyway you want.

You can sub it for factory
You can put in a separate switch
Or you can put a switch in the cab (like I did) that toggles from factory to air and you still use the steering wheel switch.

Found a couple of sets of air horns on WWW.HORNBLASTERS.COM shows a couple of installs and sounds. You gotta watch the highlight videos on this site also, couldn't stop laughing.
