These pics show the shield made for the compressor, the mounting and drain valve, and the horns (mounted to the torsion bar crossmember, facing the rear of the truck). It took some time and some creativity fabing up the brackets, but it works like a charm.

The first one shows how low the bell hangs down...its tucked up there pretty damn tight. One of the bells is really close to the driveshaft, but I have no issues, and mounting them backwards keeps water out of the horns air diaphrams. The last two are of the switch panel that I made. The top switch is power to the compressor, the bottom is the horn switch. I have to change that one to a push button, but it works great.

I'd suggest finding a guy who has a the particular set that your looking for and hearing them in person. They all have differnet tones and some people run higher psi but sound weaker than others running lower psi but with different horn lengths. At 120 psi mine sound just as loud and a little deeper than Jetman's who runs his at 180psi through shorter horns.
Have fun with em!
