OK, I got an amp/siren controller from a garage sale the other day that came out of an ambulance. I now need a bigass speaker to complete my dream of Davido's bus having a siren/PA. It doesn't have to be just like this one, but I don't want a cheesy little 5" round JC Whitney speaker either. Free would be good, but will consider beer payment for the right speaker. Look around, get creative. The huge bastard we had on our van in Hikeschool was "Borrowed" off the fieldhouse. :gigem:

I had one of these installed in my Jeep, it was pretty damned loud when wired up to a CB radio.

Of course you could also get the bigger one, which looks very similar to your eBay one for a lot cheaper.

i know the caprice came with a 220W loud speaker, see if you can find one from an old cop car. Too bad i sold mine

Ive got an old moose horn from an alarm system, I am not sure if you can feed it audio or just power.

usually just power. Does it have 3 wires or just 2?

I think three, but not sure

If it's three, its definitely a power only feed. One is common and the other two do two different kinds of warbles.

I can just buy one. After pricing out the AC unit, the cost of a $35 speaker is the least of concerns.

Let me make sure the amp works first. I have ways of scoring stuff, don't buy one yet.
