Hello all. I was given an OLD GE Power Call Siren which I was asked to install in one of my FD's engines. I need to know if this unit is capable of being wired to 2 speakers or MUST be wired to one.

Model # 4EA22B12

Please email me directly! [email protected]

Thanks!

My second favorite siren of all time!

One single 58 watt speaker does the job.

Two will do nothing more. Use an efficient speaker, not a Dynamax or Galls.

I installed 6 new Powercalls on the local trucks back in the eighties. They came with two 58 watt speakers, so I hooked them up that way. They worked very well. Just keep the speaker leads parallell.

UPDATE!

Ok, so the unit was hooked up and worked well during testing, but smoke checked during it's maiden voyage. It burned up a resistor in the unit. I see why - there was one wire broken off inside the unit. Anyone have a schematic of these??I'd love to replace the damaged parts and get this thing going again!

Thanks!
