Siren Test
Hi, looking to test an electronic siren I purchased from e-bay for my old truck. I have the speaker that goes with it. I'm afraid to just connect wiring directly to the battery post in fear I might burn it out?? what's the best way to test it to see if the things works?? Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Siren Test
Welcome to the forum!
What kind of siren are you talking about, and what did it come from? If this is basically an electronic car alarm siren, it should be 12V, just connect it to a 12V DC power source, observing the correct polarity, once you have your hearing protection on. I suspect this is something more like an antique motorized siren. You'll need to know if it came from a 6V system or a 12V system before connecting it to a battery. -Rod
