I have a Whelen HHS2100 that was in my Marauder for the last 3 years. I like that it was compact and able to hide in the console. I recently sold the Marauder and bought a 99 Jeep Cherokee. My decision is to use the HHS2100 in the Jeep or go with another remote mounted siren / light controller. I'm thinking about a smart siren or something similar. I've got a lot of LED's, and some aux lighting I'd like to add. I'm a volunteer fire fighter with a 2 mile response distance through mixed traffic. I had the HHS2100 wired like this:


1) Rear warning


2) Front LED's & Rear Warning


3) Front strobes, wig wags, All lighting


The reason I'm thinking of a remote style unit is because mounting space is very tight in the interior. I don't want to have something hanging off the console or mounted to the top of the dash. I can fabricate a bracket to hold the control head.

To be honest, and no intention of disrespecting your brand of distribution, But I have heard the feniex tones and they are obnoxious. I havent heard good things about functionality of the units either. They're very innovative, but not well engineered. Good luck though. I hope you can prove me wrong, let me knmow how it is!

If you have the money man, go for the smart siren. by far the best siren I have ever used. Everything about it is perfect haha:)
