Lets just say my friend amped a code 3 100watt speaker put it in the grille.....it's crazy loud (he amped it to his car radio) If anyone wants to try this I highly recommend it.

Let us know how long it works for.

Haha think it will fry??

Well, siren speakers are designed at 11 Ohms, where normal audio speakers start at 8 ohms and go down from there. I'm too tired to do any real thinking right now, so no idea if it will effect the speaker or the amplifier.

John have any extra popcorn? This is gonna be a good one....

I had a brain blast the other day very similar to this. For evens and bon fires, I tape my mic open and place it near stereo speaker and have music through the PA. but if I hook a stereo speaker t the radio terminals on the bottom of my V-con, when I hit the radio selector knob, will it play through? or are we facing the same issue as OP? reason I ask now is, im having a large fire tongiht

We did that a few years ago at the squad, by taking the input from the stereo and hooking it to the Radio input on the siren. We got thrown out a parade, playing songs like "Shriner's Convention", "Take This Job and Shove It", and there were a few more...heheheh

If the speaker impedance (11 ohms) is greater than that of the amplifier (8 ohms), you will not harm the amplifier.

However, if the speaker impedance is less than that of the amplifier, you will harm the amplifier.

it would probably be alot safer to do this through your radio rebroadcast that way impedance is correct
