Pontiac G6 Help

[SIFD7101]

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I'm a Firefighter/EMT in Southeast Missouri. I've been searching for any information on installing a siren in a Pontiac G6. I'm sure someone out there has done this, and my question is where did you mount the speaker, and did it require any special brackets or modifications? Thanks in advance for any help.

First off welcome!


There are many creative minds on here that can help you out. Is there any way you can provide us with some pictures of the grille and area for the speaker to be installed?

Thank you!


Sure can, I will grab some pictures tomorrow when I have some light to do so, and hopefully we can go from there. Thanks

Okay, took a few pictures, although they are not as good as I'd like. The car has an upper and lower grille, so worst case scenario I can mount it inside the grille on the bumper.


Speaker is a CPI Compak 4020


Question that was brought up by someone else.. Am I going to obstruct airflow to my radiator too much by installing inside the grille? And will it pick up too much dirt and debris if mounted in the lower grille ( behind the license plate )














Thanks

I put my siren speaking in my lower grill area and from what i have noticed is there has been no issue regarding the road debris, unless you count pulling too far into a snow bank.


Even though i have a different car i dont think u should have a problem if you decide to mount it there

I have my siren speaker mounted in the lower grill area and have had no issues with it. Whatever best fits your application and maximizes the optimal output would definitely be my choice. Be sure to keep us posted on what you decide and pics of the finished product!

Thanks for the input. I will look it over a little better once I get everything in, and have a better idea what I'm working with. I'll update when progress is made. Thanks again.

The easiest thing to do would be to take the front bumper off and see what kind of space you have to work with...

That would be your best bet. From the way it looks you don't have a whole lot of space in the grille. You might, but to mount it you'll probably end up taking the grille off and then mounting it. If you do mount it behind the license plate you can put panty hose over it and that will block out a bunch of it. With all the snow we've gotten lately in MO the panty hose has worked great for me, IMO.
