I'm pretty sure there was a thread about this in one of the past reincarnations of this site, but I'm unable to find one here.....
Anyway, the problem is I'm coming up with different ideas for two-siren systems, ie a main siren with a slide switch and lighting controls (either SLSA6 or TMD), but every siren that I would want to use as the second siren is 100W (Carson Volunteer, Sho-Me 31.2515, etc). I'd rather not have one siren be louder than the other, so does anyone know how to make them 200W? I know some of the responses will probably be "well, it would take a lot of electrical know-how" and all, but I happen to know a few HAMs who have plenty of experience playing with circuitry, so I'm not worried about that. Is it just a matter of adding another resistor, or what?
And for anyone wondering why I want 400W, it not necessarily ever going to happen, but I'd like to know it's possible if the opportunity ever came up....
