The model SA-350MH siren speaker is shipped without a
connector attached to the speaker wires. The reason for this is
that the wiring harness on the vehicle may be equipped with
either an AMP socket connector, or a Deutsch® socket
connector. A connector kit is included with the siren speaker
and contains all the parts necessary for use with either
connector

.
