How To | Installing a Police Horn in my Jeep (Whelen Airhorn Plus with Public Address Function)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2024
- I show you how to install and wire the Whelen Airhorn Plus with Public Address Function (True Police Horn). Specifically in this video I show you on a Jeep Wrangler TJ.
The Whelen 100 watt electronic air horn plus has a PA function that features a high gain microphone. The PAP112 horn sound level is legal (in most states.) This is the same air horn used by Police, Fire and EMS. The PAP112 can be wired remotely to the stock horn of the vehicle or to a separate momentary switch.
The products from Amazon.com

Whelen Engineering 100 Watt Projector Series Speaker - a.co/i602CQp
Mounting Brackets for Sa315 Series (Sak1) -
a.co/9h6l6hm
I also had to get some other components separately from Fry's Electronics.
I got a small green momentary switch to activate the horn.
I got a red and a black 25 foot 14AWG copper wire stranded
A 30amp inline fuse holder (you will use a 20amp mini fuse though)
A strand of shrink tube.
I also got some ring connectors and weather proof butt connectors from the auto parts store.

Just did this on a little sport trac. Added a CB w pa too. Wire loom was a god send and keeps everything clean looking and protected. 🔊🔊🔊
That’s great, glad to hear it!
Just bought one of those boxes at the junkyard I brought it home and I didn't know what to do Whip It looked it up on TH-cam and boom your video came out I followed all the instructions just like you said and it works thank you bro your vid was well explained 👌 you now have a new subscriber!
I’m glad I could help! That awesome you found one at the junkyard
Thats actually cool! Just a horn and no siren! Not all sirens have air horns But this is perfect for fire trucks with no air horn! I should probably gonna use it in my firetruck animations
Oh yeah! It’s a great horn
good tip for running neg and pos wires that are seperate stick them in your drill chuck and twist em together with the drill makes it look neat keeps em together
Interesting idea! I may have to try that. Thank you!
I spent hours looking for a PA that doesn't have a siren the other day and this comes up now on a completely unrelated search.
Gotta love when that happens, lol
Russell Houde cookies bruh.. the internet steals and sells your data and sends you ads relative to your search history. Browse private so it doesn’t happen. If you have Facebook then you’ll constantly see it. They also listen to you through your phone so see what you’re talking about buying and they’ll send ads for that product. Happens all the time to friends of mine
@@Seventhcause I'm very much familiar with cookies, they can often be quite helpful as they were in this case
@@mikegoldenGames hey , I have seen you in GTA 5 LSPDFR Patrols with Acepilot4k , Gmantonz Gaming , Steve the Gamer 55 , Jeff Favigano ,United Orange 666 ,Benzo Effect and others
Nice install. FYI the PAP112 is only rated for one 100 watt speaker.
I use the same model in my XJ Cherokee and my Tahoe. Best horn ever, and legal to use on a civilian vehicle.
I really do love this horn
Cool installation. To protect the speaker may be you could put a plastic shroud of some type over it with a screw? Great details.
I would think the speaker would be fine either way. That is how the police mount them.
Awesome video.
A Whelen speaker fell into my possession..
Was wondering what it was and how to use.
Hopefully I'll try and acquire horn/siren 😅
You should always try to run the negative side directly to the vehicle chassis, not all the way back to the battery. I don't know how you have your second battery connected, whether it's completely stand-alone, or if it connects to the other battery and charging system. I would understand if the second battery isn't connected to your jeep's main electrical system, but then how do you charge it?
wraith0127 it’s connected to the main battery with an isolator.
@@mikegoldenGames ah, makes sense now, sorry my mistake.
so is this airhorn legal? ive thought of using an airhorn instead of the normal horn on my car. wanna know if its legal to use on public roads and highways
It should be legal in most states. It's just a horn, no siren. To be safe, check with your state
@@mikegoldenGames Thats what I was thinking, I never thought it would be an issue to just have a cop airhorn without the siren. The states in question where I drive the most are MD and NJ. Thoughts?
i need to go through and completely redo all of my set up. unfortunately i have a Code 3 RLS 3997. it's a little glitchy, but it happens every once in a blue moon
Good luck!!
Thanks for uploading. Great video. I know you said you got your momentary switch at Fry’s Electronics, but they appear to have closed for business. Do you have any specs for the momentary switch or where to buy another? I’ve checked everywhere, but don’t want to buy the wrong momentary switch.
Any momentary switch will work. Just depends on what you want. The one I got was just a small push button. You could also just hook it up to your car’s horn. I didn’t do that for mine, since the clock spring was broken on mine, so the horn didn’t work
@@mikegoldenGames I found one on eBay for less than $10. Yeah I’m not gonna hook it to my stock horn either. Prefer to keep stock horn
Bro I rather die then see your wirestripping 😭
Ok, rip
@@mikegoldenGames🙃🙃
Awesome, I love it 🚨🚨 after it was all Installed, what was the total cost ?
I don’t remember but the main cost was the sound box. The speaker was $100. The wires and everything else was maybe $20 or so
Have you seen the crisfix unmarked police video
I’m not sure. When was it uploaded?
20 sec video with no review starts at 14:35
Lol what?
3 different sound options available with this. I only heard one.
I'm not sure. There may be options on the horn box, but I only messed with the volume option
@La Véritée Thank you! I thought I read somewhere there was, I just didn't look into it at the time
@@mikegoldenGames does the siren can be used with that box or i need something else?
@@eduardodelatorre2411 the box is only a horn and PA system. No siren. There are other models that have a siren, but not this one
@@mikegoldenGames wait so you didnt use the siren series? it was more a direct switch?
You have problems with police or it’s okey ?
It’s legal in Illinois anyway
@@mikegoldenGames is it legal in Florida?
@@rayray_741 why don't you check yourself lol
@@Geister7 lmaooo I tried bro it isn’t really clear
Maybe you can do a video on how to remove the crappy previous (?) wiring running all over the place before your Jeep burns to the ground?
Interesting idea🧐
When does he test it at what time?
Just around the 14:20 mark
Is there an auxiliary port for the PA?
Danny DeVito off the top of my head, I don’t believe so. It’s a solid unit.
Awesome video appreciate it, one favor when you use a drill try to not push so hard or buy a Milwaukee . Last after a battery connection 6" maxi fuses cheap easy so you don't catch fire to that jeep
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I was originally going to install the fuses, but they arrived late and I had to go out of state.
From the wire harness what colors go to the switch
I don’t remember, but the instructions have a diagram
That’s a lot more work than I suspected it would be.
Yeah, quite a bit of wiring to do. Lol
So is this street legal?
Depending on the state and county laws, yes
mikegolden Games great. Time to scare the Jesus out of my neighbors
@@AyyItsJk Lol, as long as they would be cool with it. If not, they could call the police
mikegolden Games bro, they are the police...
rust preventative on stainless bolts?
I live in Chicago. Winters rust everything ;)
Is this legal in florida?
I’m too tired to google it right now. Lol. I don’t live in Florida, so I don’t know off the top of my head
how is the speaker holding up?
Ric Lopez still works great. Just took it off the black Jeep, so I can mount it on the Rubicon
@@mikegoldenGames very nice. I'm thinking about getting one, just the speaker for my 4x4. My cb has a PA output
Ric Lopez it may not work. It’s a 100watt speaker
That's awesome. I want to do this for my next project. Do you know of any cheaper systems that do not have a siren?
REVIGOR I’m not sure what you mean, as this is only a horn.
Correct, it's only a horn, but I was wondering if you knew of a similar system with a lower price point.
REVIGOR you could just get a cheap all weather loud speaker and hook it up to a CB Radio that has a PA out
I just purchased the Speedtech PA 100.
REVIGOR I have t looked into that one. Let me know how it is
what gauge wire are you running?
It's in the video description, but it is 14AWG copper wire stranded. Everything else came with the kit
Are the power wires are 14 or 12 AWG?
Off the top of my head, I don’t remember. I apologize for that
No worries I just got one brand new PAP112, did all the exact connections but was not working.
Did you get the horn working? Maybe a fuse was bad?
@@mikegoldenGames I think because I was using a ATM fuse holder?
@@StarK12trd Did you get it to work?
NYC legal?
Not sure, I live in Illinois so you may want to check your state and county laws
mikegolden Games Yeah just now I researched it and cant I have it here😅
That sucks. Sorry to hear that
@@alangallardovlogs6394 I live in NYC and I was told by a friend who is a Captain in the NYPD that this device is legal in NYC since there is no siren.
The only thing I thought was ok was the mounting location of the PA Horn/Speaker. The wiring however looks very Micky Moused and unprofessional. I would recommend getting a good soldering iron, a real crimp tool and split loom tubing to protect the wires!
Ha Ha!...my k1500 is going to have a tactical look when completed and this will be great to use at an intersection when the driver in front of me is too busy looking at their phone to notice that the light is green....DRIVER, DROP YOUR PHONE AND MOVE YOUR VEHICLE NOW!...they look in their mirror and see a dark gray swat team truck on it's way to a hostage situation....of course I will look in my mirror to make sure there is no cop that is wanting to make me a hostage.
I must say, that would most likely be illegal to do. Lol
@@mikegoldenGames
Yea, They take the fun out of everything
Not here to shit on the guy but as a mechanic and electrical installer this video hurt. Those aren’t wire crimps. Don’t use a knife on any step of this. Just unplug the battery so no wires are hot. Tuck your wiring. You should not need zip ties. If this looked like an informative video on installing to you then please go to a mechanic. Other then that it sounds nice which is why I came here
Heat shrink and split loom. Your electric is a fire waiting to happen.
Yeah, I took it out when I got my 2004 Rubicon and haven’t reinstalled it yet.
-just added yourself to FBI list
Lol
I wish there was a way to only have the electric horn. I dont need a PA system, sirens etc. Only that electric horn (when he pushed the green button).
You don't have to hook up the PA part of it, but this is the stripped down version, without the siren. I don't think they make one any cheaper
Pah112 is horn only by whelen
awesome
Thank you!
I want one for my 2018 accord since people always think I’m a cop lol would be nice to have when assholes cut me off or sit in the fast lane
Lol yeah
I skipped through the whole video and didn't even see him use it just him with his s*** wire
Lol love the name!
I’d like a liter of cola!
Lol
14:20
Your siren will get ruined with rain...
Why is that?
They mount them like that on police cars...
@Esteban C. no it won’t.
You sound like Conan
Lol, which Conan? Conan the Barbarian or Conan O'Brien
blob-o-riffic
learn to use a pilot drill !
Lol I guess so
Don’t use this on the street
Don’t use which part on the street? In most states the horn itself is legal. The PA system can only be used on private property, at least in my state.
what a nightmare!
The install wasn't that bad
well worth the effort though. thank you for showing us the parts and how you did your install. I'll be getting the same set up for my Harley-Davidson. it's a cop bike so maybe I can find some wiring already there but not used. although a cop bike it was stripped of the good stuff before selling it to the public only to know. Best!
Elvis oh man that’s pretty sweet! Good luck on the install
Thats is some bullshit wiring
What don’t you like?
@@mikegoldenGames the jumbled rats nest you left, running hot wires through bulk head with no protection from a rub through. Just a total bullshit wiring job...
