Default Air horns?

Well, I bought a 123 db (@1m) horn, the same that my dad has on his boat!
On the boat it's really loud, not as loud in the truck (propably because it's not out in the open as it is on the boat...)
So, I'm looking for some kind of air horn, preferable with a reasonable sized tank/compressor, so it will fit under the car somehow, rather than in the bed...
Any tips?
Pics of install?
I've seen hornblasters, but looks like it's quite big the tank?

And then the second problem...need it to be shipped to Sweden...propably won't be cheap

i got the hornblasters with the 5 gallon tank. the tank is mounted in my bed and the horns are mounted in my engine bay just above the skid plate. you would never know that i had anything untill i hit the switch and it sounds like a freight train coming at you. get the bigger tank you will not regret it, it lets you blast the horn longer. some of these companies state high db but the horns are tiny and are not that loud.

Thanxs for the input!

But do not want to put the tank in the bed...
Any pics of how big it is, to see if it is possible to put it under the car somewhere?

installed a Stebel (may be the same as the Wolo Bad Boy) to the same bracket as the stock horn.
Doesn't sound much louder than stock.

It's supposed to be 139Db

you might be able to put it under your back seat, but you must understand when the compressor starts filling up the tank its very loud. check the hornblasters site for the dimensions. it took up 18" of my bed for the install, definitely wont be able to get the tank under the truck but everything else will fit under the truck. the compressor is tiny, the horns are skinny but very long, i think the longest one was 3' and then they got smaller.you wont be disappointed with the sound, it is very loud. i had family members ask me to blow the horns, and even with them knowing that they are loud they still jumped and got scared. don't have time to take pics,maybe this weekend.
