A train horn kit that can do it all and look good doing it, the Conductor’s Special has been the go-to train horn kit for years. With enough volume to wake the dead and enough power to handle most pneumatic you can throw at it, the Conductor’s Special is one of our most rounded kits and a solid addition to any vehicle.
Our Conductor’s Special features our legendary XL Train Horns. Hand-tuned to the exact specifications for the US Train Horn Chord and packing just as much power as an authentic train horn, our XL Train Horns are the closest you can get to the real deal without having to spend thousands on a retired locomotive train horn. Constructed from an ultra-durable fiberglass-reinforced ABS composite with stainless-steel diaphragm and backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, you get a train horn that is not only insanely loud but ridiculously durable as well.
Of course, for horns of this caliber, you need an onboard air system that will keep up. Our Conductor’s Special is one of our most well-rounded kits, with enough air to blast our XL Train Horns for up to 6 seconds, as well as handle most pneumatic applications such as air tools or tire inflation. Our Nightmare edition is powered by Viair’s 444C stealth black compressor, recharging our 2-Gallon 6-Port tank in roughly a minute. With hardware and instructions included, you get everything you need to get back out on the road and honking. - Навчання та стиль
Pretty much like an airbag system
yeah..
yeah..
yeah
Yeah
yeah
What a joy to watch your boyish excitement at the prospect of blasting select drivers only! 😄
The camera does not give you justice but your installation seems a work of art ... So much room underneath that area.
I love my King Ranch!!! soo easy to work in there.
I can't believe You got all that to fit under your front bumper!!! Nice Job. Thanks for sharing...
I think the sound will be loud no matter which way it is facing. I would probably want it facing backwards with a slight downward pitch to prevent water and road muck from hitting it directly. Plus with it slightly hanging below the front spoiler it would be easy to see if a cop leans down and looks under it. Nice looking clean install though. Thanks for sharing.
Maaaaaaan you executed a beautiful installation! I couldn’t have done it better myself.
He did a nice job brother nice job
Looks awesome, thanks for the pictures
thanks man
Nice install
Shouldn't the tank drain hole be facing down instead of to the side
looks to me like your video is spot on could I get the excact wire I need to tie into from horn on my 1992 GMC Sierra 4x4 CK , mY air horn kit is arriving in the next day or two would like to get it installed as you have yours (with either option for sounding off) thanks again for info and great instructions.
Nice 👍 job brother
This is about to be the best prank ever
What wire do I tap in for 1995 Tahoe horn? I want to do the same install setup... toggle switch the powers on compressor when needed and also allows the train horns to work along with my stock horn when I press the steering wheel horn... and when the toggle is off only my stock horn works...
Awesome video!
Wanna thank Martin @lesscolectronics
Really appreciate your sent email of the wires and colors for my 04 tundra.
Since I have received my Wolo 850-860 and plan to install this weekend.
Thanks again!
I wish you were in nyc so I can have you install mine
Can I get these instructions on paper? Same application 19’ f150
I've been installing a setup on my 2010 Silverado and I also had the idea of running a toggle between stock and train horn, but for the life of me i can not get it to work, Would you be able to provide me some more detail on how you did the splice? every time I try it, or change the wires around... No matter what position the switch is in, The train horn will fire. Almost like the switch is broken.. Hmm, Maybe the switch is broken....? Sometimes you just have to talk about it... Still, Would not mind having some incite into the switch wiring to make sure I am doing it correctly.
Could you tell me which wire for a 2020 Colorado please? Ty
No se inglés pero entiendo un poco gracias por explicar muy bien 👍
Great damn vid
thanks man
Could you share a diagram that shows your override switch
Hi bud can you tell me the horn wire color for a 2002 Mercury grand marquis? Thanks
Looks nice, I would probably prefer putting switch in overhead console eyeglass holder. LEOs may find under dash if you allow them to look. Switch should cut compressor so they don’t hear it come on.
That/s the beauty of custom wiring I suppose...
We’re you working under that truck with it just sitting on the jack?
My horns aren’t getting power. Followed your installation video.
Hey nice install. I'm like you and get excited over stuff like this. The only problem I would have doing it your way is the intercooler. I'll have to figure something out. You've had it in for almost a year now . Is it still holding up good?
Oh man is it! its working absolutely freaking terrific, love it!!
@@Lesscoelectronics you should try a bigger solenoid and bigger air hose and man they're going to scream!
Yes on all except my horns, humidity in Florida is pooling up in there lately, I am thinking of upgrading to the Omega ah-300 horns cause of their great exchange warranty
I know you made this video about 3 years ago. I want a train horn in my trunk. Do you still have a list of all i need to buy to try and do this set up? Also, where did you purchase your train horn?
Where can I purchase that set up
Would it be better to strap the compressor and tank on the side up against the frame? I just purchased an ‘18 and look forward to doing the same.
Not better, not worse. it's just personal preference really..
Where is the detailed install? I only came here to see how to hook up the wiring, relay etc... did I miss a part?
All that was covered, watch the entire video..
Great install - I am about to install something similar on a boat but am unsure where the wires from the horn air chamber are supposed to go ?
please be a tad more specific, Ill try and help..
Any suggestions for Key on power supply?
Wish I would’ve had one last Sunday oil boy do I
Not sure what I did wrong but my switch sounds off factory horn, and horn sounds off factory horn, none sound off train horn. Can you help? Also my switch has 3 terminals
Can you send me a diagram for a ram 1500 longhorn Laramie? Want to wire mine to the original horn like yours.
I wouldn't put and air tank up front and definitely not blocking my vents
Hi.. I also have a 19 ford f150 that I want to install a train horn on. I would like to use my factory horn. I have the train horn kit. I want to know if I understand your wiring right. You mention that the green/white wire from the horn is a load ground.... So do I need to break 12v to my horn or ground to my horn? I hope you understand my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I think green white to switch only. The other wire off switch goes to horn
I have an octet system installed on a ram rebel and I have it wired to a button atm, I want to wire it to my factory horn though so I can use the lock button on my remote to blip the train horns even if the vehicle is off without me in it, would the same wiring work for this?
I think so
Do you still have the relay usage guide ?
email us for a copy at sales@lesscoelectronics.com
Clean install but camera makes them sound weak
Does anyone have a current link to this horn system? I'm not able to find it by the provided link.
Please email me the request via email to: sales@lesscoelectronics.com - I will reply with one for you.
did you cut holes in a chassis part ? well you're happy to live in the states, over here they would scrap your car at the yearly inspection.
right under the radiator support
Please help me out! I have my toggle switch install and when i turn it on my factory horn turn on
you need to watch my how to on: double diode applications
Would you recommend a tankless setup ?
Saw that omega ah 250 on the ebay store with just compressor 🤔 hmmmm
definitely not, unless youre not wanting the big train sound I guess..
What kind of switch did you use to go from City horn to air horn?
I used a foot switch I showed in a recent video
.. Not to power on the horn but to actually switch from city horn to air horn.
@@Lesscoelectronics I saw that video (I've been binge watching your videos) and want to install one in my Subaru Outback. Do you sell them on you Ebay site?

Just curious how you measured 150 dB?
I have audio and spl meters all over my work bench, want to buy one?
@@Lesscoelectronics LOL if you were listening to 150 dB that close you would have blood coming out of your ears. Please show a video of your dB meter registering 150 dB on one of the meters you have have all over your bench.
Mines leaks with the Teflon tape. Thinking about removing all of the tape.
I'm having the same problem. My system is a Viair dual compressor system with a 2.5 gallon air tank and six ports. I've used regular plumbers tape, yellow gas pipe tape and pipe thread sealant. Its such a slow leak I cant tell where its coming from and this results in the compressor kicking on in the garage in the middle of the night. Not my daily driver so it would lead to a dead battery on occasion. My work around was tying it into a power source that only came on when the ignition was on. Now blowing fuses. Pulled the entire system out and going to redo everything to see if I can solve the leak. Also saw in an other video the foot switch. Love that! especially since the Airhorn is my only horn. With the foot switch I can rewire the factory horn for those times when a full on air horn blast isn't necessary.
@@roberthargrave509 I used blue loctite as suggested in the link and it solved my issue with the leaking tank at the fittings. ua-cam.com/video/r9o8z9WCoQs/v-deo.html
With a direct battery connection, if a leak ever forms the compressor will run continuously and kill the battery. I'd suggest connection to an accessory circuit controlled by the key. Be careful as that compressor will pull decent current and can't be tapped on to any circuit without blowing a fuse. Some new cars have an accessories relay near the battery after a large fuse. BTW, I assume a fuse is in the compressor circuit near the battery. Fuses prevent fires!
I have a quick question. I purchased this same system, except with plastic horns.
It was an open box purchase and the air line is missing. Can you tell me what size air line came with your kit?
Thank you.
I just described that exact problem that I am encountering. Hit reply then scrolled down and saw your comment.
Now you just can't drive the truck anywhere off road or hit a bump...i think I'm going to mount mine in the spare tire area
Real men wear Casios 😎
yeah, cause were cheap
Are the Air horns fused?
Yeah, I showed that under the hood at the battery
@@Lesscoelectronics you did. Thanks
Do i have to put a relay all time or just a fuse and straight to the battery ??? And to connect the air switch is positive all time ???
Thanks great video
👍❤😄😄
I have a feeling oneday one of the home hit an object and break off ...
it order out you put want any turns in just you can words
Nad Fink ?
KAREN BIVES ASF LOL
huh
Doesn’t sound load from this video!
Cone over. Ill show you what loud is
I’d love to do this mod but I fucking hate electric work. An you always have that on guy saying oh it’s easy well not when you don’t have the patience or the time. Plus I’d rather have someone do it so if they fuck up it’s there fault not mine.
You said this is a "COMPLETE INSTALLATION" video but you failed to show how you connected the air line going to the horns to the tank.
Shoot, those horns are going to be ripped off there within one year
Someone should take all your tools away you hack ! Can’t believe you cut holes in the cross member like that !!!
