Need some help mounting an emergency siren. I have a Federal Signal BP100, & need ideas on how to mount it.

Thanks

Siren Mounting

I'm guessing that you need assistance mounting the siren speaker.

You can start at http://www.galls.com/

They are a police supply house that sells police electronics. Getting something fitted for a 94 Ex is going to be difficult. They were never really used for police work much.

I have brackets, just nothing fits anywhere.
If someone has a siren mounted in any year X please response, or PM me.

Thanks

Sirens

We mounted them in our 97 and 2003 Explorers using Federals mounts for those vehicles. Looks like you may have to fabricate something to fit the 94.

rscalzo, would you take a picture of the Explorer mounting? I'm looking for a siren for my Ranger. Our front strucutres are similar but Ranger's don't have a upper rad sight shield like the Explorers have. Federal says it uses two of that shields holes for their bracket. I wanted to see how low down it hangs over the upper rad support.

Ex siren mount

I would have glady taken a photo be I retired last year and moved out of state. All I can tell you is that we used the standard Federal mounting unit for their MS100 speakers. Maybe Federal can help out with some documentation. We no longer have the 97 unit, only the 03...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've got the installation instructions from Federal's website, but not the lenght of the bracket. I'll give them a phone call and ask how long it is.

I wound up with this...
Mounted behind my grill. I made 2 brackets that I drilled into the rad. support. I had to dremal out my grill a bit for it to fit.

Mount

Looks better than outs did. The standard mount wasn't right up against the grill and down lower somewhat. I always heard complaints about how muffeled the sound was but nothing could be done. All of the newer vehicles have such small grill openings now that it cuts off much of the blast. We were told mounting in the lightbar was out due to OSHA regulations. Plus todays newer LED lightbards are too thin to use in mounting speakers.
