Wolo air horn - extra compressor?
Hey guys I just bought the triple air horns (wolo) from harbor freight. I want to mount them with two compressors instead of the single thats provided. I know it will sound ten times better. Has anyone done this? How would I hook up the two compressors (electrical)? Could I use the same size fuse required? Splice it?

I think the main thing keeping those air horns from sounding great is the lack of pressure behind the compressor, not the lack of volume. Hooking up two of the same compressors will only double the volume, not the psi. I think the only way of getting more oomph from those horns is by getting a better compressor. (I believe the stock one only puts out 12-15 psi). Just my 2 cents.

I was thinking that 2 compressors on the same diameter hose thats supplied would add more pressure. Thus a louder sound compared to that high pitched sound. I did see where someone added a "canned air" supply to it and it sounded wayyyyy better!

I have never had anything but trouble from those after 6-8 months. I will help you, but think that it is worth the extra $$$ for the tank and wiating myself to do it the right way.
Wire them parallel and not in series. How do you have it wired now?
