INSTALLING A $20 EBAY SIREN!! 

Video starts at 18:40

not liking the siren it sounds weak

Just for future reference, when you put a connector onto your wire, try not to leave any bare wire sticking out of the back or front. You shouldn't see any copper. It helps prevent short circuits.

I'd honestly just recommend buying a real 2nd hand police siren off Ebay, you can get them for $50 all day. The Federal Signal PA300 would be perfect for a low key set up like this.

The wail button = hi-lo tone WTF

FYI. You dont need to drill a hole in the firewall. Just feed the wire through the existing hole on the right side where the police package wiring is fed through.

thats too cheap for the vic man.get a good unit from amazon

The tones are labeled wrong

I know you've gotten a lot of Trolling on this video, and i'm sorry about that. I realize your Not sayin this is a Feniex system, or Whelen system. Your saying hey heres a 20 dollar budget siren. I mean your just show casing what it is, nothing more. Thank you. Good video.

Ok, as an amateur electrical engineer, there are a few things that raise the hairs on my back: 1. Why do you not connect the negative/ground/neutral to the chassis of the vehicle? Your chassis is the "neutral" of the vehicle. Never EVER connect it directly to the battery unless you HAVE to. 2. Why are you not using a FUSE on the positive lead? If the siren ever shortcircuits, your car battery is dead as well with a fire hazard. And with that Chinese crap, a shortcircuit is not implausible. Why not buy a proper Whelen? 3. Bare copper wire has the nasty tendency to oxidize over time, ESPECIALLY in hot and humid environments. Was it too much to solder them wire extensions together instead of just braiding them and heat shrinking them together? Heatshrink, contrary to popular belief, doesn't make it airtight, moisture can still get in over time... If you're not sure what you're doing, and making a "tutorial", please, for the love of god, make it a proper one. This is a tutorial on making a time bomb, not a siren.

Not gonna lie but that victoria looks modern af, and clean af

I''ve heard better sounds out of an ATARI 2600!

Some of the real siren makers also do a version for the public and fire volunteers that only has air horn and public address functions that should be legal in most jurisdictions.

I've installed these. They're not as loud as proper emergency vehicle siren amplifiers but it does work and loud enough for controlling a parking lot.

So I actually have one of these... Two tiny metal clips came off of something inside the handheld mic piece. Any idea where they're supposed to go? It just stays constant PA because those tiny clips came off. And do you know what exact connectors your extension pieces were? If I have to buy another, I'm adding a splitter and running both speakers off one handheld mic.

Wow, that was an excellent video, I didn't think that would sound that good, but it turned out fantastic job, keep up the good work waiting for the next video

It took me a bit to find the size online for the extender of the handset. What you need is a GE TL26190 Telephone In-Line Coupler and RJ22 Headset cable. You can find them both on amazon.

pretty good video, lays out the info i was looking for. I'd recommend to anyone doing this, to look up a lineman splice instead of the frayed braiding mr random uses. it'll work, but for one if you don't use glue lined heat shrink then moisture will get in there and make the connection worse with time. not to mention with a light tug you can pull the wires apart. better yet, buy some spade clips from the same autozone shelf you got the batt connectors at. or for something more permanent, buy a dollar store soldering iron and sink a bunch of solder into the joint, then heatshrink. Also there's already gasketed holes behind the dash to snake cabling in: you don't need to drill a sharp hole by your feet, which will inevitably shred and then short the phone line running through it.

When you see these rioters roll vics and other patrol vehicles it takes a lot of people

I installed a full "Code 3" brand Siren/PA and 3 position emergency light control box with discreet California Code 3 Compliant lights and a 100 watt speaker behind the grill of my 1990 Toyota Camry when I was a 17 year old Police Explorer. Our Electronic Technician that installed the same in the official vehicles was quite amazed and jealous. Anyway, Unitrol, Federal Signal, SVP and Code 3 are the best and most professional

For the siren features, do you have to hold the button down continuosly, or can you press it and let go, and it will keep playing until you press it again?

Does anyone know if it's illegal to use the siren sound as a horn? My vics horn dosent work so I would love to wire that thing as a horn lol

Question for a Florida LEO. I am from Ohio and have a 200 watt Whelen siren on my truck as well as red lights. I use my truck for work (towing) as well as my county Emergency Management Agency - which we're permitted to have. If I travel to Florida to visit my dad, would they give me trouble for having it on my truck?

Surely live cable supply should be via a fused connector?

How did you extend the cable with the splitter box like where do you get it from online what's the name of it as I have searched everywhere and I cannot seem to find it... Am from the UK and we don't have a walmart, I have however tried local stores but they don't seem to have it.

Question why did you mount it side ways instead of foward facing to project the sound outward?....was it to protect the speaker from the elements so it wouldn't get wrecked?

I have a ‘00 Chevy blazer and the positive and negative connections don’t have the little terminals that your car seems to have, any words of advice on what I should do?

Your you tube channel is absolutely amazingly entertaining and I hope you hit one mill soon good luck 👍👍👍

wanted to hear the intercom dangit

How is it all holding up it still works? And how about the speaker it still all good being thats the main part thats exposed to the weather

I just got an 08 crown Vic with everything install however the speaker isn't working the connector on the left side is shot and looks like I might need to resplice it

that's cool, and you can't beat the price. I have the whelen, pulled it from a wrecked service car at the junk yard I work at.

Can you press 2 buttons at once?

Thanks man I live in Clearwater Florida I’m getting ready to put mine in my Ford explore, thanks to your tutorial

where can I buy the cable splitter and extension Cable in the uk England ive done a search but come up empty handed

Would it be better to wire it to a remote wire? Could it drain your battery over night? I’m thinking about putting one in my car I just want to know what the best possible way to do so is

What is the part number of that plug you got and what is the adapter type specificity

ahahahah then you guys see us over here in New Zealand with Sirens on our bikes and cars playing our music lmao

do you know if they made any front push bars for a 2002 explorer like police style

What's the tint percentage on your crown vic?

Wow man I have a lot of fun watching your vids and now have a thousand ideas for my P7 CV , loved the siren and it's my next mod.lol ✌😎🚨🚨🚔

we're really in for a hell of a storm now 😂😂

18:52 Pac-Man hahahaha!

That's a beautiful crown vic. Greetings from the Grove!

I am north of Tampa, anf your right, loads of rain for over a week now. Love the CV by the way, great car!

Do you have any problems when you wash the car or when it rains

How loud are they in comparison to a standard car horn?

I just order my "$20" ebay police siren; people here in NY are going to hate me lol thx for the awesome video

I got the same one from wish. Works great. But I'm having trouble finding out what type of telephone cable is that.

Truck horns in cars they allow in USA?

do you know where I can get new rubber for the push bar that we have I have the same one

Did you install a switch so the battery doesn't die?

1:05 now you feel like Living in the Netherlands😂

This Video rips my Heart out... you have a trim Panel without Screw Holes and you powerdrill it to Hell ! :-D

I bought one of these and a month later it stopped working. Ended up buying a federal signal pa640 from cherry hills police and installing that instead

Can You compare this siren with proffesional siren mount on police car? And tell how is diferent...

Cool video buddy, I just ordered one for my Mustang. It will be great since my horn is broken. At least I can make some kind of noise when people are about to hit me.

I recommend that you solder the wires or use connectors with soldering material in it.

Where can i find a ford crown vic like that one u have

Does anyone think this would be loud enough for off roading? Like to alert other cars your going to pass them

So if you were a volunteer firefighter and you had to respond quickly could you use it I had a friend who was one but he installed lights on his truck and that's what he used

As u can see from the box i couldnt... Squirl anyway 😂😂😂😂😂

Does this not drain your battery?

He said he's gonna have to "rub it out" 🤐

Thank you for this…. Im getting one for my work car 😂

Very cool. I also bought this one a couple years back.

I'm looking to buy a crown vic. What are some key things to look for, example mileage and year.

So it won't kill your battery if it is constantly hooked up

Ever got in trouble for the 5% window tint? And do you have front windshield tint?

nice work!!

Can I just wire it to the battery ?

Where you get your headlight?🤔 they look really nice 😯

even if it''s legal for a police officer to have a siren....does that include on their personal vehicle?

Better get your pool ducky before it blows away.

Wow! Great video! Very good diy, how-to install by the way!...I don't think the camera does it justice as to how loud it really is!...you gotta get yourself on video using it on the streets now! Maybe do a parody compilation! Lol! And big thanks for the shout out!...keep up the great work man!

*Following an ambulance through parted traffic should be a hoot !!!!*

is thart a rj9 adapter

You gotta love Oklahoma tornadoes every week!

Can someone please tell me why he mounted this sideways and not facing straight out of the vehicle?

Can you link the extension cord?

Did you find out a specific name of the extension cord

I loved that I've been working on mine all day Saturday

bruh the are all at the wrong spaces the buttons wail is fire LOL and siren is yelp LOLOL

is the siren waterproof?

Phone cable is 4line?

Have you seen LED+Halo light combos for the headlights for the Crown Vic? They're hella expensive but look really good. I think you can find them on like k2motor.com or something.

What type of car is that?

Does it run battery down

Hey bro there’s a plastic plug to the top right next to the. Steering Coolum that is already a predrilled hole

Hello, I know it’s been a while since this video was uploaded. I’m wondering how is it doing until now. Is it still working fine with no problem? Because I am thinking to buy one for my car

Umm why did you put the speaker facing the side?

i have a few questions ab this whole process if someone can contact me about this

What about for security purposes only in Florida? Licensed security officers?

Lol the siren should be like a wail or something but it is a horn, and then the yelp sounds like a wail and the wail is a hi-lo

Looks like you went from an 18 gague wire to a 14 or 12 gague. Is this okay?

19:10 The “Fire” button sounds quite like a retro manual siren especially like a Whelen-WS 224 siren.

is microphone feature there ?

To be honest the siren sounds like either Senken or Landun they both are chinese made siren which is very popular in my county

Have to be 10 gauge wire or will 12 gauge work

Connect it via a switch to yur car stereo and put it on front of the car p.s. search siren battles nz for examples.
