I have a very weird Unitrol 800 that seems to defy the old installation manual in every way, shape, and form. The connections are all labeled differently and it doesn't even have a model number. I think it's one of their newer models (wow, that's charitable).
So I went out to the Radio Shack and purchased some average 100 watt speakers with the right resistance to prevent damage from some huge sales lady who obviously didn't have a clue about the thing and didn't know any of the product specifications of anything she was selling. Nevertheless, I hooked it up a few minutes ago but I'm resistant to test it out.
I hooked it up according to the (probably incorrect) manual and everything's ready, but there's a nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something important that might damage the speakers. They're small bookshelf-style speakers (according to their instruction manual) so I just keep thinking that flipping the switch might blow something in the siren when the speakers fail. The speakers are rated at 6 ohms 100 watts and the siren requires 6-9 ohms 75-100 watts... I'm not sure if there's anything else, but I don't really want to blow my first vehicle siren.
So, anything I could have missed here? Or should I go ahead and post a video to YouTube?
(Oh, and thanks again, Franz!)
