IMPORTANT: For drainage purposes, the speaker must be oriented so that the
wire passage hole is in the “6 o’clock” position (closest to the road).This is also
the drain hole for the siren. Improper mounting will result in premature driver
failure and void the product warranty.
The SA315 siren speaker mounting kit comes with 3 long bolts (1/4-20 X 1-1/2” Hex Head SS). The longer bolts are needed
to go through the mounting bracket, through the siren housing and into the siren driver. They will replace 3 of the 4 short
bolts (“A”) that now secure the siren driver to the speaker housing. Your speaker is shipped with 2 or more of the short
bolts installed. A short bolt be used in the hole that go through the bracket so it will properly secure the
driver to the housing. If you need to remove all 4 bolts at once be sure to hold the driver securely in place (Fig. 1).
