 in the Vehicle

FIRE HAZARD

If shorted to the vehicle frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in 

electrical fires or molten metal. 
DO NOT connect this system to vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are made and 

mounting of all components is complete. Verify that no short circuits exist before connecting to the 

positive (+) battery terminal.
Failure to follow this warning can cause a fire and may result in serious injury or death to you or 

others.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS

Before drilling holes, check the area into which you plan to drill to ensure you do not damage vehicle 

components while drilling. All drilled holes should be de-burred and all sharp edges should be smoothed. 

All wires going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or convolute/split-loom tubing.

Connecting a Speaker

USE ONLY WITH MODEL 751000 SPEAKER

The  R

umbleR

  2  siren  amplifier  is  designed  to  operate  only  with  the  Model  751000  R

umbleR

 

speaker. Connecting the R

umbleR

 2 to a standard siren speaker will damage the speaker.

A speaker is not included as part of the electronic siren amplifier. Mounting instructions for the Model 

751000 Low Frequency Speaker is included with the speaker. 

The power and speaker cables are included on the siren. All wires must be connected as shown in Fig-

ure 2 on page 6 and in Figures 3 on page 7.

Use 18 AWG wire to connect the amplifier’s speaker leads (clear zip cord) to the speaker. Ensure that 

exposed connections are properly insulated.

Connecting the Input Leads

CONNECT INPUT LEADS PROPERLY

Failure to connect the input leads as sho

wn in Figure 3 on page 7 coul

d result in damage to the 

vehicle’s main emergency siren. 

Use 18 AWG wire to connect the input leads (black zip cord) in series with one of the speaker leads of 

the emergency vehicle’s main siren. See Figure 3 for the wiring diagram.

Use 18 AWG wire to connect the brown input lead to the other speaker lead of the emergency vehicle’s 

main siren. See Figure 3 for the wiring diagram.
