EZ8 and speaker/siren

[Edge540]

hi
im not finding the info i need so i come here.
i have an EZ8 with the stock interior speaker. I want to add an exterior siren but do not see the hook up for this. Will the ELK-100 Siren Driver make this happen.
Thanks
eric

If you're not pulling over voltage, you could get a speaker instead of a siren for exterior and share the output. Otherwise I'd skip the siren driver and just buy a siren - and use a relay driven by an onboard output. Sirens pull a lot of juice so people sometimes run them off the battery directly using a relay to switch them on/off.

The siren driver just turns a speaker into a siren - but you can just buy a siren that'll take 12V instead of an audio input.

Speaker is the easiest and most logical way to go. Also happens to be the cheapest and works the same, barring possibly a tiny dB difference, which I doubt you'd notice anyways.

thanks for the answers. will probably just go with another speaker to keep it simple.
