    Default Where is the best place to install air horns?

    I have two with a small compressor, i'm thinking the two air horns on either side of the air box. Apart from this idea, I don't know where else to place them. What have the members here come up with?

    I've allways though that the BMW's horn was plenty loud.

    Default do I need a relay now to get the compressor working?

    I connected like the picture below using the stock horn connector on the right side. I've tried one air-horn so far and it sounds quiet It does work now just too quiet.

    in my motoor cycle days i used to mount air horns...the existing bmw horns are behind the grill there is probably room for the compressor.I used to always use a relay with the existing horn circuit to open and close it with a wire and fusse from the battery or in our case the battery post under the bonnet.My car has the loudest horn of any car i have had

    Gotta agree with Ralph here, best place to install air horns is in someone else's car. (only joking!). Either that, or fit a big truck horn, 175dB - that'll do nicely!!!

    Cheers,
