air horns

ive decided my first mod will be truck air horns. i am not impressed with the 240 horn and im just going to go all out and buy truck air horns. now i just need a spot to mount the air horns, you guys have any ideas? im thinking somewhere in front of the radiator, but its been raining here so i havent got a chance to get down and look. i know the engine bay is pretty packed and might be a bit tight for the big air horns. you can mount them in any direction. i also need a place for the small air compressor and small air tank, i figured ill just stick them in the trunk, but any other ideas are appreciated.

If you take the stock airbox resonator thing out from under the front bumper on the left side there should be lots of space there.

...weird idea, by the way.

take out your factory fog lamps and mount them right there. the underbody plastic should hold those nice and tight for mounting anyway

I plan upgradeing mine with Hella Supertones. There supposed to be very loud and easier to install plus they cost around $50-60.

My 240 has the quietest horn I have ever heard I can't hear it over the radio.
