What I was trying to ask is how a controller that can support up to 8 drivers can power the 16 drivers in a 3016, or the 10 drivers in a 28/2910. I know that FS MOD8032B sirens can run on 2 tone generators for the tone to play on
all drivers, so I wondering if they did the same thing with 3016s. I haven't seen a 3016 with a newer cabinet (or at all, for that matter), so I didn't know if that was the case.
I found out the 8032 two control thing in a BTS video from Burnoie, Noie said something about a Monroe County mod not having 2 boxes.
I think you're assuming Whelen boxes and Federal boxes work the same. They don't.
Federal UV controllers only support up to 8-400W amps (the MCP, for that matter, only supported 6-400W amps). That's why Mod 6048s needed two boxes wired together for 4800W of audio output. But no 8032B will need two boxes since the UV supports 3200W of audio output. I've noticed some of 2810s that got upgraded with UV boxes in Monroe County, MI only have one box, which means 2 drivers were left disconnected.
Like I said before, Whelen's boxes support up to 10-400W drivers so its a nonissue.
