    Train horns would be fun, but I'm not going to drop that type of $$$$ or spend the time on that type of installation.

    Still though, something like my old Cadillac Brougham horn would be plenty loud and fun!! Cadillac used 4 different horns to make that cool train sounding horn for YEARS.

    How hard would it be to wire in something like this????

    Will the stock horn fuse blow with this type of setup??? If not, I'm buying it.

    I would use the stock horn wiring to control a relay, that then powers a relay supplied with fused battery power.

    I went to the junk yard and pulled 4 Chevy horns out and put them in my truck (in addition to stock horns). You need to install a relay for sure. Sounds like a train now, and for about $15 all in.

    What’s up. That’s me, I sell the four note Delco-Remy Cadillac, Buick, and Oldsmobile horns out of 1975-1995 cars.

    I sandblast them, prime, paint, mount them to a bracket, and provide a wiring harness ready to plug n play into your truck.

    I sell these seasonally through a group buy and I just sold out for the Summer one. My next one is in December so make a TW account and reply to this thread if you want in, I don’t monitor this account.

    Love the ‘daisy chain 8 horn’ model. The first gen Tundra has a pretty good factory horn thats gets attention. Could have used the ‘8 horn’ on my 87’ Toy p/u. That horn was pathetic. Sounded like Erkle saying ‘meeeeeee’ in a soft voice. Even had puberty crackle half way in.
