I bought the type of air horn that requires its own, on demand, air compressor. I know, many of you guys have the really loud and really great, air tank type of air horns, but I really didn't want the difficulty and expense of all that.

Any way, these horns had their own difficulty of mounting, since there are 3 air horns. Where to mount them to keep them safe from high engine heat, and not be in the way, yet still be unrestricted so that the sound would have maximum effect.

I finally found a position right behind the grill that is just about invisible from the outside but still so close to the front as to get the maximum loudness from them. Here is a picture. I found that the compressor fits very neatly under a horizontal brace, and that way the tubing to each horn is relatively short.

This picture is with the hood open. I am on the drivers side of the vehicle and looking down into the back side of the grill. Two of the horns, the ones mounted vertically, are directly behind the "M's" in the HUMMER name in the grill, so you can't see those from the outside at all. The 3rd horn, being longer, had to be mounted on a slant, and thus, from the outside, you can see about 1 inch of the horn trumpet. But it is really not noticable from the outside - unless someone pointed it out to you.
