Quad Train Horn for Makita® 18v Battery
Four-Trumpet Train Horn — Compatible with Makita® 18V Batteries
This quad train horn kit from Train Horn Drill pairs a four-trumpet horn array with the power of your existing Makita® 18V battery to unleash a thunderous 140 dB blast — no compressor, no cords, no compromise. Whether you're on a job site, out on the water, or working the crowd at a tailgate, this is the portable sound tool that commands instant attention.
Where This Kit Excels
Four tuned metal trumpets working in unison produce a fuller, more resonant tone than anything a single-horn design can achieve. The cordless build means you can carry it anywhere and trigger it in an instant — whether that's a parade float, an open boat, a remote trail, or a busy construction site. High-audibility signaling is always within reach.
- Sporting events & tailgates — fire off a train-horn blast that gets the whole crowd going.
- Boating & off-road use — cut through wind, engine noise, and open-space distance.
- Job site alerts — signal breaks, safety warnings, or shift changes clearly.
- Emergency signaling — 140 dB carries when seconds count.
- Wildlife deterrent — loud enough to clear animals from outdoor work zones.
- Parades & shows — make your entry unforgettable.
Specs & Highlights
- 140 dB output — genuine train-horn volume that travels long distances.
- Quad metal trumpets — engineered for maximum resonance and projection.
- Compatible with Makita® 18V batteries — works with both OEM and aftermarket 18V packs.

Where the loud actually comes from
Quad-Trumpet Array
Four offset throats stack pressure waves so the peak SPL hits harder than a single horn.
Sealed Pump Head
Brushed-motor compressor with a sealed head — no air loss between blasts.
Precision Reed Tuning
Steel reeds tuned to a low diesel-locomotive note, not a dog-whistle squeak.
RF Pairing in 5 Seconds
Hold the trigger, click the fob — paired. Re-pair anytime if you add a second remote.
Thermal Cutoff
Compressor backs off automatically if you hold the trigger past the duty cycle.
Powder-Coat Finish
Three real color options: jet black, mirror chrome, or torque-wrench red.

What people say after the first blast
"Set it off in the driveway and the dog ran inside, and so did I. Louder than my last kit and I didn't have to wire anything."
"I run M18 on the job already, so this was a no-brainer. Snap a battery on, pull the trigger, done."
"Bought it for tailgates. Now my buddies all want one. The remote actually reaches across the lot."
"Build quality surprised me. Trumpets are heavy, the trigger has a real click, the case is solid."
"The chrome version looks insane mounted in the bed. People stop me at the gas station to ask about it."
Measured at the trumpet mouth — louder than most factory truck horns combined.
Wireless remote range, line-of-sight, in real outdoor conditions.
From opening the box to your first blast — even if you've never owned a horn before.
Risk-free
If it doesn't blow you away, send it back.
Try it for 30 days. If you're not happy with the volume, the build, or the way it makes the dog look at you — return it for a full refund. We pay return shipping.
30-Day Money Back
No restocking fees. No "missing accessory" gotchas.
1-Year Warranty
Compressor, electronics, trumpets, remote — all covered.
Customer reviews
Read the unfiltered ones
Loudest thing I've ever fired in a parking lot
I was nervous it'd be a letdown. It is not a letdown. Remote works further than expected and the metal trumpets feel premium.
Bought it for my husband, ended up using it more
Two weeks later it lives in my truck. Super easy to mount and the packs we already had work perfectly.
Solid build, instructions could be clearer
Took a minute to figure out the remote pairing but the quick-start card actually helped. Loud as advertised.
Worth the upgrade over the basic kit
I had a cheaper version before. This one is heavier, louder, and the trumpets don't rattle. Would buy again.
FAQ
Common questions, straight answers
Will it work with my existing batteries?
Yes. Any compatible lithium-ion battery — 1.5Ah, 3Ah, 5Ah, 8Ah, 12Ah — clips straight in. We don't ship a battery unless you pick a kit option that includes one.
How long can I hold the trigger?
The horn will sound continuously until the battery runs out. There is a thermal cutoff that throttles the compressor if you hold past the duty cycle, which protects the pump on long blasts.
Is the 150 dB rating real or marketing?
Measured at one meter from the trumpet mouth, not at twenty meters with the wind helping. Real-world dB drops with distance, like every horn on the planet.
How far does the remote actually reach?
Up to 160 ft line-of-sight. Walls, vehicles, and metal between you and the horn will reduce range — but in open conditions, the entire parking lot is yours.
Can I mount it on a truck or boat?
Yes. The bracket fits standard roll bars, bed rails, under-hood mounts, and most marine handrails. Stainless hardware is included.
Is it street-legal?
Horn legality varies by state and use case. We sell it as an off-road, marine, ranch, and recreational accessory. Check your local codes before installing on a daily-driven vehicle.
How fast does it ship?
Same business day if you order before 1 PM Pacific. We ship from a US warehouse, so most orders land in 2–5 business days.
What if I just don't like it?
30 days, no questions, full refund. We even cover return shipping.
