Tips on building a homemade siren?

Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:19 am

I want to make a homemade electronic siren with a few speakers or aomwthong, but I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any recommendations on speakers I could use? Or how to rig them up to the simple vehicular siren I am planning to use? I cant send too much money on these, so i am going to use a vehicular siren like the Custer electric sirens.

This site has a very nice selection of horn speakers, and I have ordered from them before. They have a few ones in the $10-$30 range that should work well for this.

I highly recommend this to generate your siren tone:

Oh my god thanks! This has such a nice selection and even under my price range! Any advice on hooking it up to a vehicular siren?
