Hi guys,

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me in my time of need! I installed a dixie horn, which works and everything, but it's very high pitched and too quick.

I've attached how I set mine up:

I've made the tubes short and everything like that. I think it could be something to do with the coil my brother suggested (instead of going through to the boot to the fusebox). Any help would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks!!!

Charlie

its high pitched as its playing too fast, slow it down and it will lower the pitch.

to slow it down i think you would heve to incorporate some kind of resistor in the power line to the compressor

EDIT: i suppose if you used long hoses that might work????

Thanks very much, but what kind of resistor do I need to get? I don't know anything about resistors!

Do I just need to get a 9V resistor or something?

Thanks!
