If you mount the thing under , it will get ruined. It has a rubber diaphram inside . If you fill it with crud , you will puncture the diaphram.
I've got a pair of Grover 24" Organtone air horns that i pulled off a mid 70s Kenworth that are going on my truck if I ever get the time. They are going right up on top of the cab where they belong and they look GREAT up there
It really wouldn't take me that long to mount the blamed things, it's just that forever there we had nothing but non stop rain, and now its too blamed hot to do anything

Hey Warden,

Here's one from the buell site that is lower pitch but, it is not exactly low profile - nor is it cheap.... They have quite a few sigle horns too. All trumpet type though that you can listen too. This one is a fancy chrome quadraplex horn though....

Here's a single 15" that is somewhat low tone too....

Here's a five horn rail horn too that seems low tone....

Mount it under the truck somewhere facing down toward the ground.....There's a video on Youtube somewhere of some air horns a guy made out of PVC and Funnels....they're mounted on his golfcart.

Not if you have them facing backwards, like mine is. ;p I learned my lesson the first time. Forward facing behind the front tire is not good for the horns in snow covered sloppy messes.

Frame rail, I wont fill with crap if you get a semi horn with a plate in front of it. Also, any crud that goes in there will be blown out when you use the horn. Semi's have their horns mounted on the frame rail when they aren't on the roof.

Their frame rails are also over 3 feet off the ground and have a cab blocking in front of them. Interestingly, those end caps are more of a scoop than a protector. I grabbed two horns off the same truck, one had a cap, the other not, and teh one without was nice and clean inside from a regular rinsing of rain, but the one with the cap was filled with mud and bugs and all kinds of nasties... and that was facing forward on top . I can't imagine how much you could gather underneath.

My horns are 3ft off the ground or close to it and the diaphrams are made of stainless steel .
