    Its a remote siren, you can put the box where ever and the actual siren wherever you want.

    Like my box is under my driver seat and my siren controls are on the left hand side of my console near my knee.


    Good warranty, not big bulky in the way.


    Heres the speaker I have

    I found it on a deal for 60 I think

    So just shop around.

    Cone speakers are a little hard to fit in a decent place in our trucks, so I went with a flat.

    On a side note if you want to be able to use it as a PA you will have to get a actual box like the one the OP has, remote sirens do not have that feature.

    It's cool if you have the extra room, for me I know I would get in trouble for telling people to move so yeah I didn't get it. HAHA

    could be a good deal... its a hell of a lot cheaper then brand new stuff. dont know how comfortable you are with wiring things up, especially because this thing probably doesnt have a wire harness coming with it, but if you feel confident about wiring you could always go for it!

    I went with a whelen HHS 2200 remote siren / light controller. Little expensive at 350 but I would not trade it for anything. Handheld controller with PA and close to 100 dif siren tones. Here is the controller mounted. It is PC programmable.

    Some remote sirens do have PA option. You will have to pay for it. I posted in this thread with a pic. Check it out
