Question Putting "Dixie" horns under the hood?

I have always.....always had a 5 horn "Dixie" General Lee horn in every Jeep I had. Looking under the hood of the '08 JK, I don't see a open space for anything!

Anyone else add a horn like this or anything else under the hood? Maybe an alternate location?

Thanks!

The musical electronic horn is VERY generic. The 5 horn set-up is my calling card! I'll figure something out.

Thanks!

Can't seem to find the picture I was talking about... Maybe it was another jeep...

That horn in the pictures is one of those you can get for $60 right? The five horn thing that comes with everything you need to install? I want to get one myself and there cheap on Amazon...
