Re-installation of vehicle facia:
1. Pre-determine wiring connections for speaker to wiring harness prior to re-installation of
vehicle facia.
2. Place vehicle facia into place and set top engine shroud over top edge of facia.
3. Place (2) plastic push-in fasteners through top engine shroud to hold it in place.
4. Hand insert and start one hex head fastener on each end of top engine shroud and through
the top leading edge of front facia. (These will hole facia in place for further installation)
5. Lift the wheel well trim cover and place facia into edges around each headlight and snap
trailing edge of facia into groove around front wheel well. The facia will snap into place on
each side of the vehicle at this point.
6. Re-install phillips head screws into sides of front facia and around each wheel well.
7. Re-install hex head screws along underside of facia behind air dam of lower facia.
WIRING CONNECTIONS:
Extend the BLUE (Positive) and the WHITE (Negative) speaker wires to your siren
amplier and connect as shown in the ampliers instructions and test the siren for proper
operation.
Notes:

Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly
recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do
not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g. 3M® Scotchlock type connectors). Route wiring using grommets
WARNING!
and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High
ambient temperatures (e.g. underhood) will signicantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit
breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartment. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other
recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets,
cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring. Fuses or circuit breakers
should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect
these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity. Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis
components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery. The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of
the maximum Amp capacity in the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp fuse should
carry a maximum of 24 Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR
CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will
"false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
Wear hearing protection when testin, Use siren only for emergency response, Roll up windows when siren is operating,
Avoid exposure to the siren sound outside of vehicle.
