Alright so Im finally getting to the point of starting the install and well basically I need a lot of help. Im working on a Chevy Tahoe 2003. The list of lights and locations have changed numerous times, but here is what I'm going with now. We aren't allowed to respond to scene, only to the station hence the lack of rear warning.
Whelen Responder Con3
Whelen Linz6 x2
Sound off ghost x2
Headlight flasher- to be installed at a later time.
Code 3 3050 siren.
Basically what Ive got my switch box invisioned is goes as follows. 4 switches, first being all warning led and hlf. Second being a SPDT for the siren being able to have wail,yelp and off. The third is the push botton for the horn. The fourth is for aux backup lights.All the switches will be hot without a master so that I can control the siren separate from the lights and vice versa. What is the recommended way to wire this. Do I need a fuse block or can I run say a 14ga wire to the first switch and piggy back to the others?
Im planning on using 14ga wire for the siren speaker, 16ga for the speaker switches. Do I need to run a larger gauge for the power wire? And from what Ive researched I don't need a relay for the siren?
Next, the 2 linz6 and 2 ghost are all to the front. Should I run a separate power wire for all of them or can I wire all 4 into one power feed? And what gauge if I can wire them together. And if I have to wire them all separate how to I connect all the powers to one terminal?
Next, can I safely trigger 4 modules plus the responder off one switch? Do I need a relay for this?
Also sometime down the road I would like to replace the responder with a fullsize liberty when funds allow. How different would I have to wire for the liberty. Id prolly want to have it setup on one switch if it had flashing takedowns as I wouldn't use them for anything other.
After much reading and research Im beginning to think the relays aren't really necessary for what I have.
