Since becoming a dealer/distributor for Feniex we have been in the process of ordering demo stock and some inventory of their various warning items.
We just got in late this evening our Olympian Siren System. I wanted to get the pics up on the board ASAP so everyone could take a look at them. Once we get a chance to play with it over the next few days we will take some video & more pics to follow up.
One thing I can say about Feniex is that they pack and ship their items very well. Their packaging and handling is top notch. This is our fifth order with them and they have all been some of the best packed I have seen.
We ordered the Olympian Siren with the 200 Watt option. When we ordered, I assumed that the built in amp would be a full 200 watts, alas...it is not. There are two separate amps for the 200 watt version. One included in the Olympian controller and a separate add on 100 watt amp with independent tones, microphone, etc.
I did not understand this to be the case until we had a discussion with our sales rep at Feniex. I am not sure how I feel about this yet. I would have preferred to have the full 200 watts coming out of the Olympian controller without having to mount and power a whole separate siren. That means running another set of speaker wire from the trunk to the grille, more space taken up and more wiring to setup, loom and secure. The plus side is that you can have dual tones running at once such as wail & yelp, etc. I would have preferred to have one tone at 200 watts but I am not going to jump to conclusions until I have had a chance to get it on the car and see how it works.
The control panel is very nice...buttons provide a nice tactile feedback and "click" when pushed and they are backlit by tri-color LEDs. The three pursuit (memory) buttons are fully programmable and each button can be programmed to any or all of the memory positions. There is a hard on/off switch on the bottom right of the control head that controls the power to the controller and the siren amp. There was a full label sheet in the box as well that covers just about any application you may have in your vehicle, however some of the most basic labels like "Dash" and "High/Lo" are not there. We will make sure that they fix that ASAP.
So...thats my first initial review....here are the pics and I will do my best to get some video and more pics up soon.
More to come....check back.
