Dixie 5-Trumpet Air Horn 125 dB 12V

Dixie 5-trumpet air horn: the sound no factory horn can produce

The 5-trumpet air horn doesn't just sound loud: it plays a chord. Five bells of different lengths, powered by a 12 V compressor, produce the distinctive tiered chord of American Dixie horns—the one you hear coming from afar and that turns heads. At a stated 125 dB, this pneumatic car horn replaces a factory horn that no one hears anymore in the noise of traffic.

Five tiered bells: the mechanics of the Dixie chord

Each trumpet has its own length: from 6.2 to 10.7 inches, with bell diameters of 3 to 3.8 inches. It is this staggering that creates the musical sound instead of the monotonous drone of a standard horn. The set, in matte black ABS, adopts a sober aesthetic that fits well under a hood or behind a pickup grille without clashing with the mechanics.

The 12 V compressor and resistance to extreme conditions

The kit is self-contained: air compressor, supply tube, mounting hardware, and 12 V relay are included. The manufacturer states resistance to harsh weather conditions and extreme temperatures, which matters for a component that lives under the hood, between engine heat and road spray. Total weight of the set: approximately 1,577 g.

• 125 dB horn — a sound level designed to be heard in heavy traffic and critical situations.
• Air compressor included — no additional compressor to buy, the kit is complete in terms of air generation.
• 12 V relay included — the power circuit does not pass through the original switch.
• Transferable mounting — the set can be removed and reinstalled on another vehicle.
• Controlled footprint — compact for a five-trumpet horn, it finds its place on most vehicles.

Installing the pneumatic horn kit on your vehicle

The principle is simple: the compressor is fixed to a rigid point in the engine compartment, the trumpets are mounted with the bell facing forward and downward to prevent water from stagnating, the air tube connects the two, and the 12 V relay controls the power from the horn switch. No installation instructions are included and the manufacturer recommends installation by a professional: depending on the vehicle, it may be necessary to add wiring, a switch, or additional hardware, not included. Check the available space behind your grille before purchase.

Is a 125 dB horn allowed on public roads?

French regulations govern sound devices: on public roads, a passenger vehicle must be equipped with an approved sound device, with a uniform and non-modulated sound. A musical-sounding horn of this type is therefore intended for use on private property, at shows, at rallies, or on a collector vehicle presented off the road. Find out about the rules applicable to your vehicle and your use before putting it into service on the road.
