I'm planning on replacing a siren on my 36 Ford rescue truck. It is too big. I had to install it hanging from the chassis and it looks stupid. I though it would go in an area on the frame where the battery was originally- but it won't fit. My problem is that I bought a used replacement- a smaller siren; a "The General Detroit Corp" type 352. It came with the wires attached- but they are about 12 gauge. The siren I took off has no markings but it is rather large and has the twin tones. The old siren ran from a 3 gauge wire to and from a solenoid.
1. Should I get rid of the solenoid and put in a fuse?
2. Should I run a 3 gauge wire to this replacement?
3. If not, then should I also get rid of the 3 gauge wire that goes TO the solenoid?
Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!!!
**The twin tone will probably go in my 69 MM Classic 48.
