There are a couple of you tube vids- including the mounting.
By the way- to be hip you have to have ship horns now

I have no spare tire under the bed so I mounted my triple horn, air compressor and tank there . Only bad thing is that I didn't want crap getting in the horns when i go mudding so I mounted them backwards which was a mistake because all the noise is going out back. I might make some type of shield to be able to face them forward.

In style or not in style, I still want some. And, why not on the roof? I plan on mounting my there, but then, I don't plan on selling my truck. When I buy something I tend to hang on to it. Pro's for on the roof mounting: Looks Cool, Plenty of room, facing the right direction, no under body debris, 100% non-obstructed sound.
