Very nice. The way that the sun reflects off of the fiberglass shell of the Whelen 4004 really defines the texture of the fiberglass.

The 3V8 is from Hominy. There was an SD-10, but I was ashamed at how poor of conditions it was, because it was from the'50s. I don't have a picture of it. I advise you not to go to Hominy.

There are fiberglass techniques which do not produce that rough outer texture, but they produce a product which is inferior structurally. The Whelen horns are hand-laid fiberglass, which produces one finished side and one rough side. A mat is laid, and then resin is brushed on in several coats, the top coat being pigmented ("gel-coat"). The fiberglass technique allows for some spectacular shapes to be made - take a look at the Community R-Leviathan II. It loads six 15" woofers to a horn that you literally walk into in order to connect everything up. It's actually about as big as the horn on a P50, but it's a full-range system.
Say NO to excessive siren testing - overtesting desensitizes the public.
Say NO to voice siren systems - multiple origins = unintelligible audio.
