While the horn or horns might work, they will be a lot louder with a relay, and the horn switch won't burn out from the arcing.apache snow-FSO wrote on 07/17/13 at 12:46:46:Air horns on passenger cars and trucks are illigal in Tennessee. I asume they are also on motorcycles. A few years ago a guy I worked with had one on his pick-up truck. He made the mistake of blowing it in front of a cop. He got a ticket and went to court and they made him remove it. The Tennessee law is for tank-driven horns that exceed a certain DB level,.. I don't know what that level is, but the little 12v compressor-driven 8" horns you buy at Autozone are not affected,.. they are legal. Lots of luxury cars and/or expensive sporty cars come with horns louder than these.justin_o_guy2 wrote on 07/17/13 at 12:09:07:I find it confusing to hear an "18 wheeler" horn & look & not see one. A louder horn is a reasonable thing, IMO, but louder than a good car horn seems possibly counter productive. YOu blow something that sounds like an 18 wheeler, the people who havent seen you will be looking for,, what? They may scan right past you, looking for that big truck, The little compressor-driven air horns bought at Autozone sound nothing like an 18-wheeler. The size of those midget trumpets (8" or so) means they have a very high-pitched noise,... nothing like the 24" trumpets on a huge truck. You'll not be confused with an 18-wheeler if you install a 12v compressor driven Autozone 8" plastic horn.Since it is a lot louder than the pathetic stock horn (meep meep), it will go BEEP BEEPThe 18 wheeler horn will go HONNNKKK!! HONNNKKK!!!
