siren

Some things to remember when mounting the siren:

Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things to avoid.

Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices. Af- ter all, both wires are the same length and are already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.

When possible, put the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will reach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a grommet, never through bare metal!

Point the siren down so that water does not collect in it.
