Truck Horn

So I've decided that rather than go for another performance mod to do something totally different next.
http://www.kleinn.com/products/102.htm
http://www.kleinn.com/products/6250.htm

Anyone have idea for mounting location? I was thinking of doing it in the back of the car under where the boot is but I'm not sure. I haven't bought the system yet or have the car up in the air to test clearances. Just a feeler at the moment.
The only major problem I see about the back, assuming clearance isn't an issue, is that the nipple for the wiring to go to a switch inside is under the bonnet and I would need to tie up a lot of wire to get from the back, into the bonnet, then into the car. Is there and rear mounted grommet I could use?

I have a truck horn hanging in my basement and the rest of the system somewhere. If you do it, keep us updated. I've been wanting to put that thing on my cars since I got my license.

I'll def keep you guys updated. It seems like an easy install, but space is at a premium in the car.

I saw a thread where I guy did this. Do a search. It was really funny and it was an extensive thread on how and where to do it on a 1st gen.

He ran a cable pull up to around his shifter. The horns were mounted in the engine compartment, i believe just stuck up under there.

This is the thread you want. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...e-extreme.html

CO2 or HPA is the way to go, far less space hungry then a compressor and tank.
