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.
Far too loud and produces law enforcement sounds. Can be arrested and jailed for sounding it. May also be arrested for possessing one in the vehicle. Fake cops have caused this concern.
@@robertgift it’s only illegal if you sound it, just like this one. There is no law against having one in your car anywhere in the US. You just can’t use it on public roadways
@@a-lineaficionado1000 In some places, merely possessing a siren-producing device in the vehicle can be prosecuted. Same with lights which can display law enforcement colors. I would internally disconnect circuits which produce siren tones so that if stopped and inspected, the amplifier will not sound siren tones.
@@robertgift that would be the case but you are not able to be forced to turn on any of the equipment and without the confirmation of it being activated they can’t prosecute. It could be different outside the US.

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.
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.
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.
No fuse is simply asking for trouble, the gauge of that cable you've used will result in one big fire if it shorts to ground. I hope you've got a good fire extinguisher.
Bjorn's Gaming didn't u hear what he said at 6:10 ? Also , he's a fuckn cop , can't u see that .. unless he learned electrical engineering from his younger days , than you can judge him . But like I said he's a fuckn cop
Literally EVERY single button on the controller is labeled wrong. Siren = Horn. Alarm = Yelp. Yelp = Wail. Fire = Manual Wail. Wail = Hi-Lo. Like wtf?!
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
Atoka County Emergency Services woah what the hell man? I thought you where the atoka emergency services, not some Hoodlum. Also why such a dick? Nobody should be saying what you just said unless they are looking for a fight
Atoka County Emergency Services and no it depends on state laws. Like I said these use car alarm tones so if you are just honking it down the highway or something or you just get pulled over with it you’d get a ticket for a non moving violation for having a non stock horn
@Atoka County Emergency Services isn't it a felony to impersonate someone else, even an entire emergency service posing as them? Now you're representing them as a TH-cam channel swearing at and abusing the general public! I think your argument is finished, expect a phone call in the near future and you should prepare a good explanation after the phone call I'm about to have.
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.
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?
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?
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 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
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
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.
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
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!
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
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 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
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
@ 0:43, there is a house with a pool in the back with a glass dome over it. that house was flipped by Vanilla Ice on his TV show, the Vanilla Ice Project. Don't know who he is? Look him Up! ;)
Thank you for the review! My husband and I live in Florida in a coastal town. I've often thought about us being on the beach and a tsunami warning is announced/we see the tide go out quickly. We are able to both run to our car and evacuate very quickly. But it takes 3 minutes to get off the island. I'm not sure how I feel about using this to get around traffic but traffic might not know about the tsunami. It's a rare situation but still might be worth this and a voice amplifier to help others. I'll mull it over some more.
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.

JAGExecutiveServicesInc i was gonna say that! he ginna have water in the car everytime it rains lol!
Ken Rivers oh that's true I didn't think of the
Wires through bulkhead should be through a rubber grommet to prevent chafing.
yep, the sharp steel circle will soon cut through the cord and it'll stop working.
Good to know thank you
The honey badger now has a voice!!
The wail button = hi-lo tone
WTF
GordonFleaman that comment along with your profile picture made my day!

Bjorn's Gaming like i was going to say get a good siren like one from wheelen or code 3
Bjorn's Gaming I agree with the heatshrink and no solder. It also doesn’t make it strong enough to hold itself together
Bjorn's Gaming didn't u hear what he said at 6:10 ? Also , he's a fuckn cop , can't u see that .. unless he learned electrical engineering from his younger days , than you can judge him . But like I said he's a fuckn cop
not liking the siren it sounds weak
HPOWLMAN Wish it sounded higher quality.
I have it installed on my Cobalt and it's REALLY loud. It's actually worth the $20. Mine is 100W and has 7 sounds but it is the same exact thing.
HPOWLMAN civilization honorarium
A camera cannot just cannot make it sound as loud as it is in real life it doesnt work like that
HPOWLMAN I have it on my power wheels look at The video it is really load
thats too cheap for the vic man.get a good unit from amazon
officer carl johnson abrams makes a great one. 200 watt unit
Rifles First someone else mentioned that he is a real cop might be why?
Rifles First ya they do
private security officer also use them when working in large private area
Rifles First wrong actually we do not have to install our own siren in our personal vehicle.
I''ve heard better sounds out of an ATARI 2600!
Ha ha ha ha
Not gonna lie but that victoria looks modern af, and clean af
because it is
The tones are labeled wrong
Yeah they are
Yeah the whail tone was actually Hi-Lo
And the "siren" is an air horn
Fire is just yelp "which is actually wail" with an added down coast at the start.
Literally EVERY single button on the controller is labeled wrong. Siren = Horn. Alarm = Yelp. Yelp = Wail. Fire = Manual Wail. Wail = Hi-Lo. Like wtf?!

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.
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.

Dude you are going to jail. Get rid of that thing. I would not be able to control myself if I had a siren in my car. Traffic? What traffic?
Bandit he's a cop.
Also I’m pretty sure these use car alarm tones so at most your most likely get a honking ticket
Atoka County Emergency Services woah what the hell man? I thought you where the atoka emergency services, not some Hoodlum. Also why such a dick? Nobody should be saying what you just said unless they are looking for a fight

Surely live cable supply should be via a fused connector?
wanted to hear the intercom
dangit
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.
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?
Here in the philippines that is 350 pesos or 7 dollars... I bought one last week.
20 dollars daw eh
Mga 1,200
What's the tint percentage on your crown vic?
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?
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?
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
do you know if they made any front push bars for a 2002 explorer like police style
do you know where I can get new rubber for the push bar that we have I have the same one
danny balzer find the manufacturer website or authorized dealer
danny balzer How did you use up your Rubber?
google
Thanks for explaining the legality of it, that's cool you actually gave that info, most cops will lie and arrest you
How dare they. Impersonation of a cop is not illegal at all!
Do you have any problems when you wash the car or when it rains
Ever got in trouble for the 5% window tint? And do you have front windshield tint?
No problems with the tint and my prisoner partition makes it look like i have front tints but i dont though
Mr Random Reviews oh ok I'm also in Florida, got cop magnet of a car but I have 5% all around and a 5% strip on the front🤷🏻♂️
Can you press 2 buttons at once?
Truck horns in cars they allow in USA?
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

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
where can I buy the cable splitter and extension Cable in the uk England ive done a search but come up empty handed
is thart a rj9 adapter
I bought one just for the air horn and the PA . Don’t have a need for the other functions lol
Me too. Love the air horn.
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!
haha definitely bro!
Can You compare this siren with proffesional siren mount on police car? And tell how is diferent...
19:10 The “Fire” button sounds quite like a retro manual siren especially like a Whelen-WS 224 siren.
Did you install a switch so the battery doesn't die?
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
Check your local regulation. Where I am, you are allowed to have non-permanent lights with no sirens.
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
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.
Does this not drain your battery?
What is the part number of that plug you got and what is the adapter type specificity
So it won't kill your battery if it is constantly hooked up
No it's like a car horn or a cigarette lighter or your hazzards
That's a beautiful crown vic. Greetings from the Grove!
I just order my "$20" ebay police siren; people here in NY are going to hate me lol thx for the awesome video
ahahahah then you guys see us over here in New Zealand with Sirens on our bikes and cars playing our music lmao
Auckland 😂😆
Can someone please tell me why he mounted this sideways and not facing straight out of the vehicle?
Taylor May rain maybe? Idrk
Taylor May 🐊
Cause of the grille Im gonna assume
How loud are they in comparison to a standard car horn?
I'm looking to buy a crown vic. What are some key things to look for, example mileage and year.
Anthony Mazza you don't wanna but Vics before 06 also mileage should be under 250,000
I got the same one from wish. Works great. But I'm having trouble finding out what type of telephone cable is that.
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
*Following an ambulance through parted traffic should be a hoot !!!!*
Your you tube channel is absolutely amazingly entertaining and I hope you hit one mill soon good luck 👍👍👍
How is the Miami weather now
Phone cable is 4line?
is microphone feature there ?
is the siren waterproof?
Thanks man I live in Clearwater Florida I’m getting ready to put mine in my Ford explore, thanks to your tutorial
What type of car is that?
Can you link the extension cord?
Where can i find a ford crown vic like that one u have
18:52 Pac-Man hahahaha!
What about for security purposes only in Florida? Licensed security officers?
Most states have a state law that prohibits any kind of police siren on your vehicle even if you don't even use it just the fact it's there is illegal
He's a cop
My alarm has a siren...
BigDish101 manual alarms
BigDish101 and I doubt it's standard issue
Most if not all aftermarket alarm's come with sirens.
Have to be 10 gauge wire or will 12 gauge work
either one
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
still works 100%
What about if it rains?
@ 0:43, there is a house with a pool in the back with a glass dome over it. that house was flipped by Vanilla Ice on his TV show, the Vanilla Ice Project. Don't know who he is? Look him Up! ;)
You gotta love Oklahoma tornadoes every week!
Ben Evetts lmao I just moved here
Ben Evetts in Oklahoma
Where you get your headlight?🤔 they look really nice 😯
Can I just wire it to the battery ?
I recommend that you solder the wires or use connectors with soldering material in it.
Does it run battery down
even if it''s legal for a police officer to have a siren....does that include on their personal vehicle?
my 09 crown vics side marker also went out you should show how to do a new bulb or LED swap replacement for it.
google
Better get your pool ducky before it blows away.
Very cool. I also bought this one a couple years back.
Thank you for the review! My husband and I live in Florida in a coastal town. I've often thought about us being on the beach and a tsunami warning is announced/we see the tide go out quickly. We are able to both run to our car and evacuate very quickly. But it takes 3 minutes to get off the island. I'm not sure how I feel about using this to get around traffic but traffic might not know about the tsunami. It's a rare situation but still might be worth this and a voice amplifier to help others. I'll mull it over some more.
Dont lie ik why yous from Nz are here 👀🤣💯
Did you find out a specific name of the extension cord
1:05 now you feel like Living in the Netherlands😂
Looks like you went from an 18 gague wire to a 14 or 12 gague. Is this okay?
nice work!!
I am north of Tampa, anf your right, loads of rain for over a week now. Love the CV by the way, great car!
0:36 I prefer crossout
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.
GunFuMaster hidnation .com try
I loved that I've been working on mine all day Saturday
To be honest the siren sounds like either Senken or Landun they both are chinese made siren which is very popular in my county
This Video rips my Heart out... you have a trim Panel without Screw Holes and you powerdrill it to Hell ! :-D
Don't worry about the trim panel DomC. It soon will be burned up in the fire. :)
He said he's gonna have to "rub it out" 🤐
