any expierence with these? im thinking of buying a set and would like to know what you think about them? or if you recomend anything else? thanks:ford:
Hornblasters has some of the best stuff out there. Definitely worth the money. If you can't swing a set of Nathan's, their shocker kits are......well, shockingly loud. I have a set of Nathan K3's and am not easily impressed with most "train horns," but these impressed me. Great bang for the buck.
You can pick up those k3's on craigslist cheap, I've even seen them as cheap as 300. Take a look at the pvc ones on youtube the guy compares them to a set of k3's and they did pretty good against them.
I had HornBlasters on my orange truck and absolutely loved 'em! Especially with 'em hooked to my remote. :evil I don't think you can beat 'em for the price. As soon as I get my white truck back it's getting a set. Or two.
Oh yeah, they were plenty loud. And I love the tone of them. Not as high pitched as a lot of others I've heard. Comes with everything you need (tank, manifold, lines, compressor, pressure sensor, etc...). I just had to supply a button and picked up some thin metal strips to mount the horns to, then mounted them between the framerail and truck body. Came out great and never had a single issue with 'em.
And iirc the new kits (mine was from about 3 years ago) have some improvements done to them. I think the compressor is a little bigger, and a couple of other changes. You can also get the tank with some fittings to plug air lines into for tools and stuff. Awesome kit imo.
Shockers FTW, they did a comparison somewhere I just cant find it. The shockers were louder than the conductors special, but the conductors special were loud enough already.
Like I said, I have K3's on 1/2" line and 200 psi. Yeah, its loud. I'm kinda picky about what I'd say is good, and I was impressed by the Shockers. Nice pitch to them and crazy loud. I was pleasantly surprised.
I have the Shocker 4 kit on my truck...you won't beat them for the price. They absolutly blow away those chrome 3 horn things 90% of people have. No way they're louder than aq K5LA set though...I've done a side by side comparison with mnine and a friend who has those....I lost. LOL
I'll try again when I put in my 2nd Shocker 4 kit.
In my truck I run 115volt ,2.5 hp air compressor, with 15 gallons of air...LOL
