    You can talk about NYC until you are blue in the face, but you will never convince me that 4 Dual Avengers, 1 Slimlighter, 5 M6's, 2 M4's, and 3 Sirens w/ Airhorns just to the front is any better than half of that stuff with 1 siren. Sorry I'm not sorry.

    If you are getting hit by people, then drive better.

    Lights above and beyond what is necessary won't turn "dumb drivers" into "smart drivers"

    If there was a lightbar I would agree. On a unmarked slicktop u can't have to many lights. Stay safe and enjoy your new ride.

    I agree~~! Just because you have lights, doesn't give you ownership of the road....due care is always the responsibilty of the person running code, not the other drivers...

    A little too much for my taste, but to each their own.

    OP, what ambulance service are you with?

    saw the truck in person today, slick slick install!! looks better in person than the video. i know 4 dual avengers sound crazy but the way its mounted, flush to the headliner, it looks like a custom interior lightbar with minimal flashback. so i would say interior lightbar and not overload

    i like the install, but having 7 M series in the grill and 3 sirens is overkill, IMHO. Without changing the list of equipment installed, i would at least change the flash patterns on the grill lights so that the 2 red modules on the left side of the grill alternate with the 2 modules on the right side of the grill

    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.

    The grille seems like a bit much, do you have any airflow to your engine. I think a couple of bright whelen m7's or 4 LINZ6's would be plenty. I don't have the NYC experience but like someone else said, several lights don't make other drivers smarter. I like the back though. HAWs look awesome with the license plate lights.

    Have any pictures or can you get some of the grille install? I am trying to figure out how to install lights in the grille. Doesnt look like a lot of options. I should be picking up a '12 JGC this week/weekend.

    pov's who work in ems can run l&s in NY? Thought they were restricted to green courtesy lights...?
    An annoyance online since original BBS days- early 90's. Damn I miss modem tones... but not 14.4 kbit/s.

    You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I'm going to get and beat you with until you understand who's in command here.... (best quote ever!)

    That rear dominator is a huge split fail, it's starting to look purple 5 feet away. Too many colors per square foot. I do like the rear vertex and plate lights though.

    Also this.

    Requires agency approval plus Dept of Health inspection and must carry required equipment per Dept. of Health regs.

    Also has to be staffed by appropriate level of training - EMT-B for BLS or AEMT-CC or Paramedic (depending on local system) for an ALS fly car.

    How are your grille lights and speakers mounted? Obviously a lot of space but not a lot of attachment points that I can see. I will have one speaker maybe two at most and 4 small grille lights (Fed Sig Impaxx). Thanks

    Judging from the pictures he posted of an install his buddy just got, it appears to be Hatzoloh, Flatbush division. At least that's what the ambo in the bay says on it.
