I’m trying to go for a very particular setup on a Ford Police Interceptor Sedan. After dropping the front bumper, I can’t find any good position for 2 SA315 Whelen speakers (other than in the grille). Additionally, there is only 1 real pass through on the firewall for wiring. Has anyone here done a Taurus install yet? Current setup progress is attached.

2x Whelen Fender lights
2x Whelen Ion R/R Grille lights
2x FedSig Viper S2 R/B rear deck lights
2x Whelen vertex hideaways front
2x Whelen Vertex wigwags front
2x Whelen vertex hideaways rear
1x FedSig Viper S2 R/W visor light
2x Whelen SA315P speakers
2x Federal Signal Rumblers
1x Federal Signal SS2000 w/ Rumbler computer

And here is the only install sheet from whelen, single speaker install sak58 mounting bracket, after that it only goes on your push bumper if you have one.

Well maybe but it is an easier way to identify the hatzolah ambulance from above, my fellow members jewish and non would laugh at that and then tell me I'm a nut. If mel brooks was doing the movie He Would probably put one there!

It’s more so the fact that we are installing lights and they need to be controlled/triggered. Why send them all to a basic toggle switch when you can do a proper install and have full function? Pics of progress appended to thread.

Because actors...as a general rule...do not like anything complicated. On...and off... This is the switch.

You have the makings of a mess here...

I'm also a little curious as to why you would be making just ONE accurate NYPD car...maybe even suspicious...

7727 (fully marked) has a basic switchboard with toggles for simplicity and was featured in the show “FBI”, the second car (unmarked) (car in question for this topic) is to be used in movies and doubles for music videos as well. That’s why the actual setup. No conspiracies lol

The slicktop just looks vaguely wrong...the font is wrong on the ID numbers, the mirrors are black, the search light is black...small details that make it look wrong.

Well In general NYPD doesn't have spotlights on slicktops and they also have no marking to Front and rear and they use regular NY plates etc..

This specific car had a light bar on it though (I know because I removed it back in june) so not a real slick top (not a real car altogether) but......
