I am looking at adding a few of these to my alpine alarm because i like the quiet features when you arm and disarm the alarm but when my alarm goes off the siren it pretty pethitic. I noticed that there were 2 different styles one big and one small i would like to know which one is the loudest, or are they the same. I will be keeping the alpine siren on the siren output and adding the psyrens to the alarming output like i did the mini pezos.

Thanks for your help.

its not that one is louder then the other..they all are regulated by the FCC. i want ot say the rating is 128 decibel. now the tones may make one sound louder then another. the new psyren siren is a dual tone siren. the longer one is a single...

actually, no. its not dual tone at all. its got all the tones of a 6-tone siren, but they overlap. one tone plays, then the next starts and plays with the first, then the third, etc. thats what makes it "psycho". they are VERY nice...

the Omega pysren or however you spell it is an awesome siren ... its the loudest sombich i have ever heard and it has all of the common sounds that alternate on most sirens but the tone that it starts off with plays the entire time while the others alternate over it .... you can tell the psyren by it having the ohm or omega face on it

maybe my personal psyren got wet or something, but I've noticed that in brutal cold (we've got -35c here consistently for the last while) the sirens output is substantially diminished. as the truck warms the siren (underhood heat), its output comes back.

we've had a break in the weather and were lucky enough to get only to the -18c or so area, and the output was fine...just seems the wicked cold hurts its output...anybody else notice this?

b

last nite we had some pretty severe temps, standing air temperature of -36c! this morning disarmed the truck and the siren had just about NO output...strange. in driving to work, underhood heat warmed it and arming/disarming at work later on was normal!! posted_image
