Air horns

After an almost nasty incident on the freeway today, I've decided I'm going to get some air horns on the truck. Some idiot came up and almost sideswiped me on the on-ramp merge passing me in the dirt on the right side, and I was going at least 80 when he did it. Almost hit my daughters door. then he started screwing with me. I need something that will shock ya and stun ya and I've seen horns that will do it. I wan't em. I've also been having problems with tractor trailers swerving left on me when I pass them. coming from a family with lots of truck drivers, all i can say is the REAL truck drivers are far and few between nowadays. seems like they're all local jockeys who are going on long trips for the first time.

The stockers just don't cut it. I want the loudest one I can get that can be mounted within reason to the truck and not be mounted within plain sight. I'm not sure yet where the compressor will go, but the horns will be under the hood somewhere and the tank will be under the bed where the spare tire used to be. I'm thinking putting the compressor in the front of the bed, ahead of one of the wheel-wells.

Have any of you guys bought stuff from hornblasters.com before? they're the one's I'm looking at right now.

This is the setup I'm looking at. If I don't like the 2 gallon tank later I have some little 4 gallon tanks around the house I could try later, maybe.

I want these Horns:

And this air system:

If I have to, to get maximum volume, I'll drill holes in the core support so they can be open to the back of the grille.

If you guys have any pics of your setups, I'd appreciate a look see. I need ideas so i don't have to cut up the truck more than necessary.
