    That is a great list of equipment, but I think you would have been fine with half of the equipment up front.

    You wasted the off axis warning of the m6's behind the grill and by mounted them vertically. You would have been better off with tir style lights...imo

    You could have done 8 red/2 white Feniex t-4's behind the grill/flash all red then 2 white...for the same price, if not cheaper than what you spent...just sayin...

    Rear...no splits and could have synched all red laws with red lp light/all blue laws with blue lp light for a larger warning footprint...you arfe creating a pink effect with current flash patterns...

    Don't take this the wrong way. I am just trying to have you get a more effective warning package for the money you spent...

    Not bad at all. I think the M6s were kinda a waste. I would have used a TIR style lights. And why so many speakers? I know on my last Explorer I had 4 speakers but I had dual sirens and you have three. Dual tone then air horn or PA? Just curious. And for the rear I would have not alternated the D8, just half red and blue or at least 2 of each side by side. The LP lights could go either way split wise. Overall a nice install. Id give it an 8/10. Nice vehicle choice, too.

    think it would help if you got the avengers to sync, same pattern same switch. I don't know if that's what you did, but them flashing separately with the grill that crowded makes front really busy.

    I have 2 speakers on the Smart Siren, 2 on the carson Sa441m, and 1 on the HHS2200

    My friend has the grill set up with TIR6's does not even look half as good. I will try to get a video of his set up. He went with all TIR light heads in his install.

    Looks good, definitely will move traffic. Some suggestions:

    -lose the split M6s down low- they aren't effective there
    -change the pattern on the Dominator and Avengers to something slower
    -take 3 of the grill lights out- that space is there for a purpose and that purpose is not to mount lights

    Having 3 sirens and a Grover REQUIRES you to make a response video.

    3 sirens is overkill as are the mish mosh of lights and patterns.

    Nice install. I agree the M6 are much brighter and more effective then the TIR6. It seems that the whole NY area is getting Jeep Cherokee's. I just sold a Tomar Scorpion yesterday to go on a 2012 Jeep. This costumer is putting 6 Linz6 in the grill.

    You've already done a bunch, but you need to do a few more: Federal EQ2B needs to be installed so you could run 4 siren tones at once: Wail, Yelp, Piercer AND Q siren. This would require you to add 2 more speakers.

    A Powercall is also a must have, also requiring more speakers. A pushbumper would accomodate those well. Then you would have 5 simultaneous tones.

    At this point you will have succeeded in being louder than a whole station full of emergency vehicles since you will be pushing 800 watts from one vehicle. You will own the road.

    I think it could use a couple more dashlights...and you missed a spot on the side where you could put some ghost leds....

    I can put on wail yelp powercall and mechanical all at once. my installer was too lazy to sync the linz6 with the vertex's. I wanted to put a rumbler in but my installer said it wont fit with the grover, he said maybe in the rear he can fit it in.

    I dont have any responses yet from this car ill try and post one from my previous car.

    It might be a little overkill, but if you're happy with it that's what matters! Thanks for sharing it with us

    Ah. Cool. It may be a tad overkill but at least it looks good, if that makes sense. Be safe!

    +1 on all that, BUT it could be worse.

    I would put at least the split M6s on the sides somewhere, somehow to supplement the Intersector lights. Looks good though. Got a lotta light and lotta sound for a slicktop install.
