Wire Size and Termination
The wiring diagram on the next page shows the minimum wire size used for each
connection, along with recommended lead color. Please use the following
guidelines when wiring your siren:
If the wire is longer than 10 ft. use the next larger wire size. Use only high
quality crimp connectors.
Make sure all connections are tight.
Route the wiring to prevent wear, overheating and/or interference with air
bag deployment.
Use grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls.
Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop.
Ground connections should only be made to substantial chassis
components, preferably directly to the negative of the vehicle battery.
Install and check all wiring before connection to vehicle battery.

Wiring Connections
BLACK:
You MUST connect BOTH black wires when using two 100W driver speakers. Connect
to the negative of the battery, or to a good chassis ground. Be sure to use minimum
size #14 AWG wire.
RED:
You MUST connect BOTH red wires when using two 100W driver speakers. Connect to
the positive of the battery, or to a high current power buss. A power relay may also
be used. Be sure to use minimum size #14 AWG wire.
BROWN:
Connect to the positive terminal or lead of Speaker 1. Be sure to use minimum size
#14 AWG wire.
WHITE w/ BROWN STRIPE:
Connect to the negative terminal or lead of Speaker 1. Be sure to use
minimum size #14 AWG wire.
Please note:
The Brown and White w/Brown Stripe wire must be connected for PA and Radio Repeat)
ORANGE:
Connect to the positive terminal or lead of Speaker 2. Be sure to use minimum size
#14 AWG wire.
WHITE w/ ORANGE STRIPE:
Connect to the negative terminal or lead of Speaker 2. Be sure to use
minimum size #14 AWG wire.
You must observe the polarity of the speakers (phasing). Be sure the positive terminals of both
speakers are connected to the
solid
brown wire and
solid
orange wire from the siren. The
negative terminals of both speakers should be connected to the white, same color stripe,
striped
wires from the siren.
Optional Connections:
BLUE:
Use for radio repeat. Connect one blue lead to each terminal of the radio speaker or
output connector of the radio. Most radio outputs are isolated, in which polarity
would not be important. Radios with polarity sensitive outputs should be connected
w/ the blue wire from pin 6 to the positive radio output, and the blue wire from pin 3 to
the negative radio output. Use #18 AWG wire.
GREEN:
Use for remote (Aux.) Manual control. Connect to horn ring circuit or remote switch.
Circuit may be positive or negative with proper jumper selection. See INSTALLER-
SELECTABLE OPTIONS section (page 3) for jumper details.
NOTE:
Cut lead short if not
used & insulate w/ electrical tape.
WHITE:
Used for Park Kill (Cut-off). Connect to dome light or added door switch. Circuit may
be positive or negative with proper jumper selection. See INSTALLER-SELECTABLE
OPTION section (page 4) for jumper details.
NOTE:
Be sure to cut lead short if not used
and insulate with electrical tape.
Testing
- Test all siren functions after installation to assure proper operation. Test vehicle
operation to assure no damage to vehicle.
