PA System speaker mounting location.
PA horn mounting location for 6th gen? Where is a good spot to mount the horn for my pa system that I'm installing? I took a look and the engine compartment is PACKED with stuff. I can't figure out where to mount it. Please provide a pic with a crudely drawn arrow if you could.

um, since you are more than likely the first to attempt this, how about you look and let us know?
just get an intake or simply remove the stock snorkel.

PA system.. huh?! So you'll be the one driving around shouting "Re-elect Mayor Goldie Wilson!"
Actually, I recommend renting a copy of "Blues Brothers" (the original one) and take a look at their setup for their PA system... Very classy!

Sorry for the late replies. I'm not the police or anything like that. I'm just sick of people trying to change lanes into me and stuff like that. Ya know when theres two lanes and the person on the left goes equal speed to the person on the right so you can't pass? I hate that. Now I can tell them to move their @ss out of the way. Plus I can order stuff at drive throughs and hit on girls without actually getting out of my vehicle.
To the person that mounted the airhorns (ramberg) Do you have a link to more pictures of that area under the hood? I would like to see closer pictures of how you mounted that stuff and just better resolution pics in general. Thank you.

thanks for the support *sarcasm* You guys obviously can't take a joke. Whatever reason I want it for doesn't concern you people. I only asked information on how to mount it. I'm not using it for those reasons I stated earlier.

Just in case..

Plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet or more from the motor vehicle; or
Louder than necessary for the convenient hearing by persons inside the vehicle in areas adjoining churches, schools, or hospitals.

this is a very wide open and very vague statute...
you know you could, under this section be given a ticket for a very loud muffler?? even a ery loud horn. just as you can get a ticket for having loud music ...
this is very good information but shouldnt be a reason for not installing the air horns or the pa system just as it doesnt stop us from having a 1000watts system in our cars that is so loud we cannt play it while we are in our own vehicles... i am sure none of you blast the sound system to its fullest when a cop is in the corner while you are stopped at a red light...so just dont use the pa system to say hi to the police either...

Also, installing a PA system in an automobile is not illegal, the statute I stated is a Florida state statute which can further be defined or made stricter by a county or local government. Since I work with the Amerian Red Cross for Disaster services they place strict rules on official use of PA systems and my law enforcement buddies with the state police and local law enforement fall under the same code for operation of a PA system during offical calls like I do.
headbrainface is a big boy and it's his call (I recommend installing it in the same location as rambergs airhorns and I recommend black in color as not to be seen through the grill). However this is a general safety note for all of you who may want to do this, first time your PA system distracts a driver and causes an accident (PA systems barking out orders to move over will be cited for reckless endangerment, or worse, impersonating an official fire, rescue, emergency or police vehicle), not only will you be cited, you can be jailed. So mod on, just do it responsibly...

ummmm imo , i think i would look for a good one and then see where i would put it, imo there is no sense on getting something of low power/quality just because i can fit it here... ummm but its a good idea specially since if i go to the store i can pick it up tight there and then and dont have to way for it to come in the mail !! yoo hoo its closer than you think !!

Only problem is where should I mount the amplifier. I want to get a pat-20tb. just search google for "pat-20tb amplifier" and they'll come up. any ideas? I want it hidden and I want the mic to be wired to stay inside the little pop open "drawer" just ahead of the shifter **** in the center console (wire comes in through the back of the storage compartment and mic rests in it)
