position in the front of the vehicle so the bracket
mounting holes line up with the hood latch
mounting holes. the vehicle grill is flexible and can
be pulled forward to allow the bracket/speaker to fit.

located, then secure the hood latch assembly over
the bracket using the existing hood latch assembly
bolts. IMPORTANT: Make sure the two bolt
heads line up with the two indentations on the
hood latch assembly made by the bolts original
position, so that the hood latch assembly
reinstalls in the same position and lines up
properly with the hood.
6. Extend WHITE (positive) and BLACK (negative)
speaker wires to your siren amplifier and connect
as shown in the amplifiers instructions.

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.
Mounting the speaker to the bracket:
The SA315 mounting kit comes with 3 long screws (1/4-20 X 1-1/4” PFHMS) The longer screws are
necessary to go through the mounting bracket, the siren housing and into the siren driver.
They will replace 1 of the 2 short screws (“A”) that now secure the siren
driver to the speaker housing.
Your speaker is shipped with 2 of the short screws installed. A short
screw
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 screws at once be sure to hold the driver securely in place.
