Fitting a 24" horn in a jk CRD lol

[jwrangler]

I have always been very disappointed with the horns on the Jeeps. My TJ was piss weak and now my JK CRD is not much better.

So this weekends project is fitting my huge ass air horn i bought in the states.
If you have ever been to the US and heard the fire trucks stutter air horns they are insane.

I bought one..lol

This is what it sounds like

You Tube

First problem where the hell do i put a 24" air horn????
I spent probably 3 hours testing spots where i could mount the horn downward facing because i am a pretty hard core Jeeper. I don't want it to fill up with mud or water (they are not cheap)

I did not realise that this is actually a bloody big job. With the fitting of a suitable air tank, the plumbing and wiring.
Trying to keep it neat and stealthy as well as allowing the full splendor of this horn to be appreciated by right lane hogs..lol

Will put some pics up when it's installed.

Oh and before you shoot me, it will be wired to a separate momentary switch so the normal horn will work as per the rules.
This is just for shits & giggles. lol.

I replaced one of the standards with a Stebel Nautilus Compact. By comparison, it is only rated for 115dB at 2m.

I also put one of them on my bike a few years ago...

I've been meaning to do the same in mine ever since I bought the TJ and now the JK. The Stebels are the best and quickest way to replace the embarrassing OEM horn.

The FB CRD group forgiven you yet ?

That is twice now I copped attitude for a contribution.

So I deleted myself from them.

Well, that's Farcebook for you... I don't have an account there. They won't let me have one. Just because I don't agree to all their terms & conditions... Oh well, their loss!

I wanted train horns years ago, (still wouldn't turn them down), but it always looked like to big a job to be bothered with. Go for it!

What did you do to get this done in your JKU? I have a Stebel here (new) in its box and was thinking of just running it off its own momentary switch when I can get of my ar$e and do all the other cabling - looking for inspiration lol
