Default Volunteer Firefighters and such

A little earlier I asked about this as well. It seems most on here are volunteer firefighters/paramedics (like myself). In most states volunteers are allowed to add lights and sirens to their personal vehicles to respond to calls.

Which leads me to my next question for everyone. Has anyone mounted a siren in their JK yet? If so, which model and where did you mount it? Theres quite a bit of room under the hood, but no good shelf or backet to hang it from.

Siren mounting location suggestions would be great!

Made them myself. I got a piece of aluminum cut, painted and drilled some holes. So far so good.

firefighter53111 - looks great. I have a similar speaker that will fit back there and it seems like that will definitly put out the sound.

Im trying to make up a bracket to hide mine under the bumper. will post pics when available.
