Hi guys! I recently acquired a older style Federal Signal PA300 with the black plastic switch. It came with the wire harness and a 100W CPI speaker. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out which 2 wires on the wire harness was the output to the speaker, which I can't seem to figure out. Ideas?

Perhaps it's the spider on the 6th picture down?
Jokes aside, I would assume black-black red-red. There seem to be corresponding wires on both the speaker and harness. Perhaps someone more experienced could elaborate...

Small problem.. I looked at the colors on mine, and which pins are occupied and unoccupied.. and the layout is totally different. The shape is right, but not the colors.

Should be the two brown wires.

Oh, the manual FS sent me suggested otherwise, but here.

Though those colors don't match mine, so I'll just go on the position of wires. What makes you say the 2 brown wires btw?

UPDATE: USING A 1.2A 12V POWER SUPPLY, ITS WORKING! Its dual tone!!!
EDIT: Logan pointed out it isn't meant to be dual tone, its a issue because I was under-powering it.
