Question Need help installing a triple train horn in my A4.

You guessed it, I putting a triple train horn (kong) in my Audi, 150 PSI 2 liter system. I need some ideas on where to mount the compressor and air tank. I have an A4 B6 3.0 and I can not find enough space in the front of the car. I can not use the trunk, its loaded. The triple horn comes apart and I am mounting it in front of the air conditioner core in the front grill. The air tank is about 8 in. by 4 in. and is round, the compressor is about 8 in. by 3 in. by 4 in. rectangle and can be mounted on its side. I need to know if there is any hidden spaces in an A4 B6 front end where I can mount the tank and compressor. I may mount the compressor next to the battery if I can. The horn is about 150dB for close to 2 seconds on a bench test. The compressor head reaches over 200 Degrees F when pumping for extended periods of time so the mounting place has to be able to withstand that kind of heat. Any help would be appreciated.

It also is going to double as an air compressor to fill the tires if they go flat. I can store the extension hose and filler gauge in the trunk with the spare tire. I already thought about the dead space under the spare the fact is I can not run the air line to the horns from the rear of the car, the run is too long and the line would have to be 1 inch thick to move the amount of air needed, I am trying to keep the tank to air horn line short <4 feet. Compressor to tank should also be as short as possible. I may have to get a smaller air tank.

Because, while the Audi horn is loud, there are idiots on the road that still don't know they almost ran you off the road. That's where this comes in.
If I could, I would. But def not the tripple horn. One should be enough IMO.

Well I never got it installed, its been on the bench all winter. Now that it is getting warmer out, I am again going to attempt to install this in my Audi. No one replied with any Ideas So I think I am going to install the compressor in the back seat on the floor behind the passenger. I may have to mount the tank there too. No one ever sits there and I have the driver seat all the way back. The back seat really is not useable unless there is a child in the front seat. I would have liked to keep it out of sight but I just cant find any room in the front of the vehicle.
