Does anyone see a problem with mounting a Whelen Alpha siren on the dashboard shelf of a 2011 Ford F250? Thanks, Bill C

Mounting Kenwood mobile on dash?

Depends on how you plan on mounting it?
I presume very securely so it does not become an object missile in case of an accident?

If you live in an area that gets hot in the summer time too the sun baking down right on top of it could be a problem.
This is pretty common around me and I always cringe...as stated, the heat from the sun, or your defroster couls easily damage the internals...plus there is no way in hell i would put holes on top of my dash, or even worse, have a potential projectile from impacts/airbags that could hurt my children.
Sorry guys, I should have put more info in this post. This is our fire dept pickup and the siren/radio will be bolted through the dash. I never considered the possibility of heat related damage to the units. Thanks for the info, Bill C
How about mounting one or the other in the din position where the AM/FM radio goes? Would both fit in there?billfires said:
When I joined the squad here, I was surprised to see that the radio is bolted to the top of the dashboard. And the AM/FM never gets used. The manufacturer of our radio even offers a din mount.
since this is a new truck, maybe you should of spec. it with a different siren.........it would solve all your problems.........
and #2, you can change the title of your post.............

911, I didn't spec the truck or the equipment, with budgets being tight I was asked if I could do the installs while I am on duty. Also, I tried to edit the title but had no luck. Bill C
