New Setup, Need Advice!

Hey guys, starting the setup in my new car. It's a 2014 Ford Fiesta ST. I respond for both an Ambulance Corps. and a fire Dept. in NY. I have planned a dual color setup that could be either green or blue.


Front


1 Soundoff Signal NForce Single Dash - Color 1: Green, Color 2: Blue


1 Soundoff Signal NForce Dual Dash - Color 1: Green, Color 2: Blue


I will be placing the single in the lower middle of my windshield, and the dual will go up in the passenger headliner.


Controller


Damega Ultimate Siren - Won't be using a speaker just yet. Just using it for the 15 aux lighting controls


Rear


I will possibly be using my Extreme Tactical Dynamics Chameleon 8 Head TA. RB and Amber.


My question... I'd like to keep this simple, without doing any crazy wiring that would void the warranty. I know its never recommended, but considering I only take 3 calls a week maximum and response time is fairly short (5 min or less) would it be okay to power the Damega with the Cigarette adapter? I'm only going to be running a max of 3 lights off of it. I'm just concerned the amperage might get to high.

Get rid of the crap Damaga. It'll burn down your car, regardless how its wired up.


Also you don't need a siren option- you are using courtesy lights in NY State. No siren use allowed/permitted.

I agree, Damega is junk; I would stay away from the ETD lights as well. The siren is your choice but I think it's overkill to have 15 aux. switches with the amount of lights you're running.

I was using it for airhorn tones only.

Each of the nforce lights needs 2 12v power lines, for color switching. Thats why i needed the 9 aux inputs.
