Siren to up fitter switch?

[stewwalker]

I'd be using the siren for three reasons. Letting people know I'm coming around blind corners, letting people know they need to get out of my way while chasing in Baja, and we use them as cattle calls here in Texas. I did some searching around and I don't think any one makes a dedicated "single tone" siren. Probably so people like me don't install them in their trucks.

I guess I could always do what mexicans do and just wire a car alarm to the switch....

Use a Whelen alpha 12 R, you can wire it to any aux switch as it draws 10 amps with 1 speaker .

Does this mean I do not need an amplifier or control box? I'd like to just have it run straight to a switch.

have you thought about onboard air? put an airhorn on it and you will be all set. also it serves as a dual purpose. you can use the air to fill up tires, and in my case, run an air tool for a short period of time

I'm a big fan of ARB onboard compressors but I don't like the idea of train horns. Just not my thing. I have sen to many diesel trucks with truck nuts blowing air horns at every intersection.

I think De Rooy's truck in baja is the only truck worthy of air horns.
