Nice looking setup you have there. I wouldn't mind upgrading my horn to a K3 or K5 but would probably have to add an additional compressor and larger tanks. Running two 3 gallon tanks and a single HD compressor.

Alberta Adv , Thanks , LOL !! Yes i started this project with 1 compressor and a 5 Gallon alumiuin tank , and you see what i ended up with!!! , I just hope i went the right direction with my choice of air compressors ,

I've read a lot of good things about Viaair. I went with a Firestone HD compressor as that was spec'ed in the airbag kit I bought. Added and upgraded to two tanks for onboard air and to power my air horn but it is nothing like a K3LA. However, it still gets the job done... I put two air chucks on my truck. One in each of the rear wheel wells. Bought some hydraulic covers so they don't get full of debris but I think I like you're bed/near the rear of the tailgate idea. Might have to do a relocate...

You'll be happy with the K3LAs, I've think ive pissed off the neighbors a lot already. And they definitely keep those retards in their lanes.

I don't know anything about the compressor, but you have plenty of air storage. I've been running a Viair 480C and a 5 gallon tank since 2006 and couldn't be happier.

Well, that's good to know. Thanks. Specs on the heavy duty Firestone compressor are as follows:

CFM Rating:
1.18 @60 PSI
0.94 @100 PSI

That flows a little less than a 480C, but it should keep you up and running if it's a 100% duty cycle compressor.

Any idea what psi it's rated to?

[Alberta Advantage]

It's a 100% duty cycle. Believe it's 150 PSI.

Personally, I think you'll be happy with simply switching out the horns. The only real differences between your compressor and the 480C is a little less air flow (longer filling time) and it's 150 psi to the 480C's 200 psi. The K3's are still really loud at 40 psi.
