currently in front of the i/c



You have 2x compressors rated at ... 20A IIRC, and they’re direct drive so pretty immediate. They’re also more powerful than the much ballyhooed Wolo direct drive - I tried them too. The Marco puts out a resounding 117db constant and peaks around 119db. The stock horn was pathetically powered at about 95db.


All in all, I’m satisfied with the Marcos, they’re a significant improvement over stock and instant on.

Did you mount the compressors and the horns all together in front of the i/c? I was really surprised once I started digging around under the truck at how little free room is left over, considering what a big ass truck it is! There's already 6 lbs in a 5 lb bag. I would have thought there would be room to burn.

negative. I pulled the grille and stacked the compressors next to the passenger headlight assembly.

here, on frf
Holy crap! And you think I have issues.
well i mostly use it to run my impact driver. we host a lot of offroad events throughout the year so when someone breaks something or has a flat, we can fix on trail or back at camp. the horn part is just a bonus

I used the Marco horns last night to shoo off some forest rats (deer).

Been looking for a reasonable spot to mount some Hella horns but cant really find a spot I like. Care to share a pic of how you mounted your Marco's, sounds like they will be louder than quad Hella's (x2 supertone/x2 sharptone) like I was shooting for.

There’s a post on here somewhere with a pic; basically, sideways in front of the intercooler.
