Installation:
The speaker bracket mounts behind
the front bumper, where the plastic
filler panel for the driving light is
located (Fig. 1). If a filler panel or a
driving light is present, it must be
removed before installing the
speaker.
1. Remove the hardware holding in
the plastic filler panel and remove
the panel.
2. NOTE: Figure 2 shows the
bumper with the plastic filler
panel installed to show the
location of the mounting holes.
Figure 3 shows the bumper
with the plastic filler panel
removed. There is a grommet
plug in the frame (Fig. 2 “A”).
Remove this grommet plug. This
oblong hole will be one of the
speaker bracket mounting holes.
3. There are 2 more holes in the frame, toward the outside of the vehicle.
The outer (larger) hole (D) will be the other mounting hole for the
bracket (Fig. 3). This hole is located under a brace attached to the
frame so the mounting bolt will have to be fed up from the bottom.
4. Secure the siren speaker to the speaker bracket (See information on mounting
the speaker to the bracket above).
5. Mount the speaker bracket to the vehicle (Fig. 4). Feed the mounting bolt located
toward the outside of the vehicle, up from the bottom because there is a brace
nearby making it difficult to install the bolt from the top (Fig. 5).
6. Tighten all mounting hardware firmly and installation is complete.
7. Extend the WHITE (positive) and BLACK (negative) speaker wires to your siren
amplifier and connect as shown in the amplifiers instructions. Test the siren to
confirm proper operation.

IMPORTANT: For drainage purposes, the speaker must be oriented so
that the wire passage/drain hole is in the “6 o’clock” position (closest
to the road). Improper mounting will result in premature driver failure
and void the product warranty.
IMPORTANT: The SA315 mounting kit comes with
3 long screws (1/4-20 X 1-1/2” Hex Head). The
longer screws are necessary to go through the
mounting bracket, siren housing and into the
siren driver. They will replace
