I've finally summed up the time and courage to enter this board and pose you knowledgeable fellows a few questions in regards to my SP Mark VII siren. I've done a bit of reading up on the subject [a big thanks to the fellow who posted the old user manual] and have ascertained the function of specific wires on the wiring harness. With that said, I'm still somewhat puzzled about the items below. Thanks ahead of time for anyone that shares their expertise! ^_^
1) How could I go about powering this siren indoors with A/C power? I want to be able to test its functionality as I have been unable to do so. Is there any way of powering it indoors - maybe a cigarette lighter adapter soldered in and subsequently attached to a power inverter?
2) Is soldering the ideal way to connect the wires from the wiring harness to the speaker and other items? [With necessary extensions, of course]
3) According to the manual, there should be a small retaining screw at the back of the assembly. I am missing that screw; does anyone know what screw will fit there?
4) There appears to be something missing on the left side of the siren; does anyone know what the hole is for?
5) Does anyone know of a specific mounting bracket that fits this siren?
6) Is there anything else a newbie should know? [Aside from the obligatory "Don't be an idiot" ]
