hey , anyone have any idea where i could place an air horn in my sentra. i took one out of a honda accord. i got the horn to work but i have nowhere to bolt it to. it works and everything but the wiring is funky. any ideas as to where under the hood i might be able to put it? thanx

isnt there some space in front of the battery?

YEAH BUT NOT ENUFF SPACE TO FIT THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE HORN....

Go with one of these, its a German Hella Horn. Its definitely LOUD, at 118 dB's, you'll definitely be noticed when you honk your horn. these are available through Griots Garage magazine, or www.griotsgarage.com ($69.95)

How big is the compressor? How about somewhere near the firewall?

Where i live u can get a set of dual air horns and the compressor and all the things need to install it for $20 why would you waste $70 on electic horns? have u looked to where the stock horn is? thats where i put mine. i just attached teh compressor a litte more back ull find space there just remove you winshild washer funnel thing and get creative

yeah i guess. but the practicality of spending $70 on an electric horn.. is about the same as spending $20 on an AIR HORN ????

i already have a compressor and 3 horns . I had it previously installed in my honda accord, but took it out when i sold it to some jamaican lol. who makes 1500 off a stripped 90 accord ex that got rammed in the passenger side quarter panel by an expedition! girls cannot drive, lol. 8-)

im gonna try to see if i can place the compressor on the firewall. the only thing is finding space for the compressor and 2 of the horns. only 2 of them hook up at once but u can change them around to get different notes. heres the pic ...

im thinkin maybe drill a couple holes int he firewall and place both horns and the compressor next to each other. i would just have to rewire the original horn from the front to the back. lemme know guys

thanx - NiCK

The trouble is... that most of those air horns that are under $100 are total junk. They don't last long before the compressor takes a crap...

not really ive had mine almost for a year and some months now and its still working like the first day the only thing you have to do is oil it.

i had mines for a year in my honda and they worked and when i rigged em up quick in the sentra they worked right away.

I had one in my old acura. It dies after like 6 months, but GOD it was worth it. Best horn. Sounded like a freight train.
Put the compressor beind the bumper, and the horns behind the bumper cover.
Just tap into your OEM horn lines, and disconnect one of the horn wires from the old horn.
