compressor will just fit if u got a single seat it will just go under the passenger seat..mines been sitting behind the drivers seat for a while..i used the original wire on van hooter cut the wires and joined them to the trumpet in the kit if u remove old hooter use the brackets supplied and with a bit of adjustment they fit in same place and no need to extend the wires..compressor i wired to battery for now and i planned to fit either a relay from ignition switch so it comes on only with ignition on or fit a battery isolation switch..
you will soon be posting a few tunnel blast vids then

I like the idea of having a naffing great horn I already have a 250ltr ish tank in the back I think that would be enough to run them ??
just follow the onscreen instructions and it's fairly idiot proof...trouble is, we keep producing better idiots

Brilliant idea re horn. Now just a matter of time, and I could have a new toy to play with. Always wanted one of those loud horns.

:idea: :D
