racing siren talks

I dont remember anything that would require tips tricks or pointers. lots of wires but all color coded and simple...

gave power to orange, ground to black, hooked up the two speaker wires to the greens (tried both directions)  no output with any if the inputs given +12


wondering if something has to be grounded or powered for an interlock of some sort.  wasn't clear from the wire schematic was ignition in, program in, mode select means or has authority over. 

[mr.mindless]

All I'm currently using is horn. I think it gets +12 to a single trigger wire?

[M4wdFab]

ya thats how its spelled out.    power, ground, speeker wires, horn in.  seemed simple enough.  doesnt work. 

[M4wdFab]

bench test of matts amp last night yielded same results.  no sound. 


so either everything we have is bad or everything we have is good and not hooked up right. 

[M4wdFab]

maybe speaker was grounding to table.  or park kill grounding to table.  also need to double check ignition input was getting 12V

[M4wdFab]

spent time again tonight, fully read the manual no worky.  Fuck these things

[M4wdFab]

ordered another kit with a cheap amp box but 11ohm good speaker that should work. 

speaker matt linked to that we both bought is 8ohm

[mr.mindless]

I hope that's the issue. Wish I knew.

some how I decided i didnt like the power spikes on the front of the charger supply, so I tried it with a car battery on the bench instead of using my battery charger as a 12v source.  works fine off a battery.  must be something with the dirty power coming from an AC to DC supply or a frequency thing beyond my understanding or care.


both 8ohm and 11 ohm speakers work.  Wired and installed my car with the speaker from Mark.  Have 3ohm 25 watt resistor to put in series to use 11ohm speakers for Matt, or my new speaker kit with 11ohm says it will be here from Amazon tomorrow by 8pm



first horn pop on the bench my ears still hurt now.  rest of testing done with ear muffs of course. 


bitch is loud
