From my "collecting days" back in the day, I still have a few working, electronic sirens. I have a Federal CJ-184, but I'd like to be able to test sirens with a real speaker. So, if you have a used (vintage) square/flat siren speaker, I'm interested. Be Safe & Thank you!

I've been listening to electronic sirens for over 50 years, and I've found that the sirens that sound best with the CJ-184 speaker are the late 1960s Federal PA15A (series 1B, 1C, 1D) and PA20A (series 2B, 2C, 2D). They have deep low-pitched slow rising wail and yelp tones.

The newer high-pitched sirens would sound better with a square/flat siren speaker. Higher pitched sirens sound better with smaller speakers.
