frenchwv Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Is it possible to install the RTP horn with the distinct police sound on an RT? I don't even know what these look like, but it would be ideal if I could just swap one out for the other without any extra wiring and switches. Link to comment
frenchwv Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Disregard this question. I did a little more research. The sound I was going for is coming from the siren that is mounted on the crash bars of the RTP. I thought it was perhaps the stock horn, but I would need to mount a siren somewhere to get the sound I was going for. You can hear it at the 7-second mark on this vid. Link to comment
Rex R Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Frenchy, If youre thinking of throwing a siren on your bike, you should also know that the RTP siren requires a controller/amplifier under the radio box behind the seat. When properly wired, the standard horn switch triggers a relay on that controller that sounds the "air horn" in the siren. The air horn does not work when the ignition is switched off; you only get the standard horn in that situation. Good luck. Link to comment
notacop Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You may find a big ticket if you put a siren on the bike. More than slightly illegal in a lot of states or communities. Even amplified horns are frowned on. Why not just get the shotgun mount and make bang,bang noises. Link to comment
upflying Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You can buy the 100 watt siren head on ebay. This is the driver to make the head unit operate as an air horn. Should be legal if you set it up without a siren function. http://www.whelen.com/pb/Automotive/ProductSheets/Sirens_Switches_Speakers/Power_Airhorn-Power_Airhorn_Plus.pdf I might add a siren is not illegal to possess, the operation of it is however.
