When I saw this thread I just had to throw down for a Dixie horn, myself! I just installed mine too, and experienced similar to wakecrashin. The horns are incredibly loud, but they take up a fair amound of space so the only place I could get mine out of the way was up behind the "glovebox". Unfortunately they have to pretty much play through the hull in that area. Also as wakecrashin mentioned, the compressor is pretty noisy. I think I can fix that by putting some foam insulation around the compressor.

I think for a car installation where the compressor is under the hood and the horns don't have to play through a solid object the Dixie horn would work great, but it's not quite as ideally suited for a boat. :???:

Yeah, the air compressor is pretty loud. I dont know about yours, but ours starts compressing once the boat starts almost every time, unless it is 100% filled (which its not after it rests for a while). Ours is under the passanger seat also, but when the music is on, the 30 sec of compressing is really not that bad... very much worth it in the long run, imo...

I would def. recomend getting the horns themselves outta there though! Ours is on the tower and if you're not ready, you will definately be startled if someone gives it a short blast... Why dont you put it on top of the deck like some of the old 2001s? I think that would look really cool, and just like the old boats too....

Sounds like your compressor actually has an air reservoir it plays from? Mine is a "compress on demand" rig and it stores no air.

Even if I didn't mind the look of the 5 horns sitting out in plain site, I'm not sure how I'd even pull that off. The tubes that go from the compressor to each of the horns mount kinda weird (not into the rear of the horn, as you'd expect) so it would be tough to make a clean install w/out the tubes going every which way.

Mines the same... as you push tthe button it compresses the air.

I know that boat real well, as my cousin is the one who turned it into the General Lee. I can try to get some more pics and post them. It took him a couple of months but it started off as a brown and tan stars and stripes. My grandmother did the interior and the motor cover is a fiberglass cover off a late model (2000-2002) MC. He sold it b/c he was constantly getting stopped from people who wanted to look it over and it is hard to wakeboard behind it. And yes he did have the horn.
