I had a set of air horns for a while, until recently...  The placement is a bit more problematic because of the fact you have to mount the compressor and the horns.  They were very loud, when they worked.  The fact that I had them for only about a year, and the difficulty in mounting pushed me to decide to buy a pair of Hella H/D electric horns.  I found a new pair on Ebay for 65.00, I am just saving up.  118dbs, and they are electric, so they -should- last lnoger...  We will see...
